Chapter 467 Design the Wedding Dress
Queenie spoke arrogantly, her gaze scornful as she studied Nicole. Nicole’s expression froze slightly at her words, but she did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and packed up the documents on her table.
Queenie was surprised by her actions. “What are you planning to do?”
Nicole finished packing up the documents and explained kindly, “I’m going to President Gardner’s office to work. You have occupied my seat, so I need somewhere else to do my work.”
Queenie jumped up from her seat, hackles raised as she glared at her sister. “You’re so shameless, aren’t you? He and I are already legally married! Are you planning to come in between us?”
Nicole sneered. “Why are you so condescending, Queenie? Have more tact and get out of my office, or I will go to Colton’s space and work while sitting on his lap!”
Queenie’s face was red with anger. Even though she was Mrs. Gardner and thus on a different level from Nicole, she could never win. Hatred flashed across her eyes as her hands formed fists at her sides. She would show Nicole; she would kick her out of Gardner Corporation as soon as the wedding was held!
“You have no shame, huh?” Queenie snorted coldly.
Nicole only stared at her, smiling as she waved the documents in her hand. “Not budging? Guess I’ll have to go to Colton’s office, then.”
Since Queenie was afraid that she would actually do so, she got up to leave. However, before she left, she mocked her sister by saying, “This is a horrible seat anyway. I don’t care!”
Nicole ignored her as she went over to the seat Queenie had vacated, arranged her files, and started to work. Queenie’s temper flared up again, but she couldn’t do anything about it. Eventually, she turned and slammed her hands onto the desk.
“Hey, I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?”
Nicole looked up at her with slight irritation. “Spit it out. I don’t have time to look for trouble like you do.”
“Me and Colton’s wedding is around the corner. Shouldn’t you, a designer working here, help the boss’ wife design a wedding dress?” Queenie asked, wanting to see Nicole lose her composure.
However, her plan failed as her sister agreed without a word of protest. “Sure.”
Queenie narrowed her eyes. This felt strange; did Nicole just agree to her request?
“Are you willing to help me design my wedding dress?” she asked suspiciously again.
Nicole smiled. “You are President Gardner’s wife, and I’m an employee of his corporation. It’s not an outrageous request.”
Queenie felt her anger dissipate at Nicole’s calm expression. She had come to wound Nicole’s pride, but her sister stood her ground.
“Three days. You have three days before I see the final product!” she said coldly before finally leaving the room.
Nicole didn’t have any reaction to that and resumed working again. However, Colton himself entered shortly after.
She looked up to see his amused smile, feeling confused. “What is it, President Gardner?”
He put his hands in his pockets and strode toward her with his long legs. He stopped in front of her desk and drawled, “I came to see you.”
