Chapter 190 Having a Spat

“You have to leave today!” Lexi yelled in a high tone. If this lady before her didn’t leave, she’d never be able to

assert herself in the Design Department again!

“To where?” At this moment, Nicole walked out and swept her gaze over Lexi who was shouting.

Upon seeing Nicole, Lexi tried to restrain her arrogance and politely addressed Nicole, “Miss Lisa.”

Nicole slowly strode toward them. Whitney’s crossed arms and cold smile gave her a good idea of what was going

on.

“What happened?” she asked with her brows furrowed.

Before Whitney could say anything, Lexi, who was standing nearby, began acting like a thief who cried foul, saying,

“Miss Lisa, this new assistant was sitting here earlier. I requested her to change her seat but she refused and even

scolded me!”

Looking at Lexi being pre-emptive, Whitney did not say anything but merely sneered.

Nicole looked at Whitney and asked again, “What went on?”

This time, Whitney replied in an idle manner, “I was sitting here quietly, minding my own business, when a mad dog

appeared out of nowhere and started barking at me. I was annoyed, so I talked back.”

Lexi’s face turned ashen with rage when she heard Whitney referring to her as a mad dog. She immediately

pointed her finger at Whitney and questioned, “Who’s the mad dog you’re referring to?”

“The one who replied to me!”

Nicole almost burst out laughing when she heard Whitney’s reply. Whitney was her assistant designer in F&M

Apparel, someone who had command over others. Of course she wouldn’t let herself be bullied.

“Look, Miss Lisa. Despite being a mere assistant, she can be this arrogant. What’s more in the future?”

Knowing Nicole was there, Lexi suppressed her desire to retaliate and turned to complain to Nicole.

However, Nicole was someone who would always side with her own people; she had no intention of siding with

outsiders.

So, she nodded and responded, “Whitney knows what she is doing. Since you were the one who was mean with

your words first, please refrain from such spats in the future. I’m not going to hold anyone accountable this time.”

Lexi’s expression changed as Nicole finished her words. Why was Nicole unconditionally on this new assistant’s

side?

Just as she was about to open her mouth and explain further, Nicole interrupted. “If we’re to pursue this further, we

would need to check the surveillance footage. Things would become even more disgraceful if more details were

revealed then.”

Nicole’s words rendered Lexi speechless. She knew that if they really were to check the surveillance footage, it

would clearly show that she was the one who started the argument first.

While she was still stunned from what Nicole said, Joanna walked out after noticing the commotion outside her

room. She looked at the crowd, strode toward them and asked, “What is going on?”

Lexi, seemingly aggrieved, answered, “Miss Schmidt, this new assistant scolded me.”

“New assistant?” Joanna fixed her gaze on Whitney.

“Yes. She is my assistant designer in F&M Apparel, and she’s here now to assist me in our collaboration with

Gardner Corporation.” Nicole, who was standing beside, explained.

Lexi’s expression changed after she heard Nicole introducing Whitney. There was a world of difference between an

assistant and an assistant designer.

And Whitney was Lisa’s assistant designer from F&M Apparel. Designers like Lexi might not even be able to work as

an assistant in F&M Apparel…

Whitney continued at a leisurely pace, “Yes. I’m here to assist Miss Lisa. I was sitting here peacefully when this lady

walked over and said this seat is hers. However, this seat doesn’t appear to be occupied; it’s empty.”

Joanna figured out what was happening. She turned and looked at Lexi, and with her brows furrowed, she asked,

“Are you planning to quit now? Or, are you dissatisfied with your seat? Why don’t I give you mine?”

Hearing what Joanna said, Lexi started having cold feet. She shook her head and said, “No, Miss Schmidt. I don’t

mean that. I…”

The more she wanted to explain, the more she found it difficult to express herself.

Without waiting for Lexi’s reply, Joanna retracted her gaze and looked apologetically at Nicole.

“My apology for the inconvenience caused, Miss Lisa and Whitney. There’s no one occupying this seat. You can have

it if you want.”

With that, Nicole pursed her lips and nodded. She didn’t pursue further and replied, “Sure. Thank you, Director

Schmidt.”
