Chapter 80 You Hurt Your Chin
Looking at Wendy, Nicole pursed her lips together. She found the little lady quite comical as she swore her loyalty to Nicole, but alas, Nicole decided to explain the truth of the situation to Colton’s younger sister.
“What ‘thing’ are you talking about? There is nothing going on between me and your brother.”
However, Wendy stayed grinning as she wiggled her eyebrows at Nicole. The arrogant look on her face showed that she knew more than Nicole was telling her.
Nicole could only look back at Wendy quietly. Deciding that Wendy probably wouldn’t listen to anything she had to say, Nicole stopped explaining herself to the little girl.
She went on and jotted down Wendy’s three sizes and special requests, and it was only after she was done that Wendy voluntarily left her office.
On the other hand, Tony was reporting to Colton in the President’s office of Gardner Corporation. “We will be using the design from our collaboration with F&M Apparel as our upcoming marketing plan’s focus.”
Colton nodded in agreement at that. “Leave a space on the homepage of the company’s website from now on. Releasing it alongside the new products should give it a proper push,” he suggested.
Tony was caught by surprise at that. As a company whose main focus was on digital marketing, the promotions done through its website had always shown great results.
Gardner Corporation had a well-received mass media website that charged its advertisers hefty sums. Even though they had done promotions using the website when they got involved in the clothing industry before, the homepage of the website had remained untouched the whole while. Advertising on the homepage could easily mean spending millions, or even tens of millions of dollars in a day. During peak moments, advertisers might even have to fight for the ten-million deal.
Although surprised, Tony still calmly replied with a nod. “Alright. This year’s summer release will happen around May. I’ll make sure to clear the schedule for May 1st.”
“Make it 3 days,” Colton curtly added.
Tony began to quietly ponder Colton’s decision. Colton must have really wanted to build Gardner Apparel as a brand for him to book 3 days on the 1st of May, which was one of the most money-making times for them.
“Yes, sir,” Tony replied.
Tony then lowered his head and wrote down the important things, but just as he began to tilt his head at Colton to inform him regarding his schedule before the new year, he caught sight of the injury on Colton’s chin.
“Gardner Corporation… before the new year’s… the job has…”
He somehow was stammering through a simple sentence as he continued with his report.
Hearing the stutter, Colton raised his head and looked at Tony with a frown on his face.
“Why are you stuttering?”
Hearing the dissatisfied tone, Tony immediately brought his eyes back to the little notebook he was holding in one hand. “Nothing,” he forced himself to say.
Colton’s frown had turned into a squint then. Knowing that the cowering Tony was hiding something from him, he got even more displeased.
“Stop squirming around and spit it out!” he demanded.
Tony obediently peeked at Colton’s face as he pressed his lips together before hesitantly saying, “You…might have injured your chin.”
With his timid personality, he didn’t have the guts to say that those were teeth marks on Colton’s chin. He was a young man with a promising future, after all. Today was not the day he would give up his life for something like this.
For an injury as intimate as that, Colton was acting extremely generous by not covering it up. Is he showing it off on purpose? Tony mused. The big boss is indeed someone whose heart a side character like me cannot comprehend.
Colton’s face immediately fell after he listened to Tony’s words. “What the hell are you thinking? I got this from shaving!”
Tony only looked back at him in silence. How did shaving leave teeth marks on your chin? he thought to himself.
Even though he found it ridiculous, he decided to agree with his boss’s words. “You don’t have to explain yourself, President Gardner.” He shook his head and swiftly continued saying, “I understand. I’m not delusional. I’m not overthinking anything.”
Colton’s face only further dimmed as he looked at his assistant’s fervent denial.
“I don’t care if you are delusional. I don’t even care if you have sh*t for brains. I hired you to be my secretary, not for you to pick up on things like this,” he growled.
Tony could only zip his mouth shut as he looked at Colton getting angry for no reason.
President Gardner probably isn’t satisfied enough…
