Chapter 188 Design Sketch

Meanwhile, the police were still looking into the recording incident. Although Daniella’s husband disagreed with their

way in handling Daniella’s body, he had no choice as it was a murder case.

After Nicole was cleared of being a suspect, she returned to Gardner Corporation right away.

All the recent happenings led the employees in the Design Department to suspect that she had been targeted by

someone unknown…

However, since everything had been explained, they shut their mouths and said nothing more.

It was the same for Nicole as well. She didn’t say anything further and merely worked on her designs.

On the other hand, Joanna felt uneasy seeing that Nicole was able to clear herself every time. Though she knew

that those were done by Queenie and she was not involved, her unease remained.

However, her priority now was to design Wendy’s gown for her eighteenth birthday banquet.

Anna had previously asked Joanna to assist in designing a gown for Wendy. She only had two weeks left, and she

must seize this opportunity to prove herself.

She hadn’t been sleeping well these few days as all she could think about was the design sketch.

After numerous revisions and giving it her all, she finally managed to come up with her first sketch.

As she massaged her eye bags, she felt like she wasn’t in a very clear mind as she had been burning the midnight

oil for the past few days. Dark circles surfaced underneath her eyes and even acne revealed themselves on her

face.

“Miss Schmidt, are you still on your design sketch?” A lady entered the room with a cup of coffee in her hand.

Putting the cup of coffee carefully on the table, she continued with a smile, “You’ve put in so much effort for Miss

Gardner and Mrs. Gardner. They will be moved once they learn what you did.”

Joanna raised her head and after noticing that it was Lexi who was speaking, she smiled warmly and took the

coffee. Taking a sip of it, she continued, “That’s not worth mentioning. It’s what I should do since it’s Wendy’s

eighteen-year-old birthday banquet.”

“You better take some rest, Miss Schmidt. Look, even applying make-up can’t conceal your dark circles now,” Lexi

said with concern.

She was also a designer in the Design Department, but when Sabrina was here, Lexi was too busy licking her boots

and thus, she never had the chance to work with Joanna. Now that Sabrina was no longer around, she immediately

took this chance to fawn over Joanna.

“I know. You can leave first.” Joanna nodded. After finishing half of the coffee, she again focused her gaze at her

design sketch.

Seeing that Joanna was occupied, Lexi was preparing to leave. Just as she was about to step out of the room,

Joanna stopped her. “Wait a second. The launch of our new designs is approaching. Collect all sketches in the

Design Department and hand it to me for my checking before I hand them over to Lisa.”

Lexi’s heart sparked joy after she heard Joanna’s instructions. Although this task seemed like a miscellaneous one, it

practically gave her the authority to decide which sketch to accept.

“Sure. I’ll do it now,” she replied happily and left the room.

Joanna, in fact, knew what thoughts Lexi was harboring. Sabrina was once her capable assistant, but now that she

was no longer here, Joanna had to find someone else to do all the work that she didn’t have the time to do.

…

Meanwhile, Whitney followed Nicole to the Design Department of Gardner Corporation. Nicole initially wanted

Whitney to just stay in Nicole’s office, but using the excuse of wanting to find out more about the opposing side,

Whitney refused Nicole’s offer and walked around.

Nicole didn’t think it was a big deal, so she let her wander around.

The employees in the Design Department were always skeptical of those whom Nicole brought in. Hence, toward

Whitney, they also looked at her inquisitively.

That didn’t bother Whitney, though. Instead, she greeted all of them on her own initiative. “Hello, I’m Whitney,

Lisa’s assistant at F&M Apparel. I’m not very good at designing, but I’ve no problem with doing menial tasks.”
