Chapter 204 Confidence

“Got it,” Nicole uttered while nodding.

Seeing how indifferent Nicole was, Scarlett hesitated for a while before she asked, “Are they going to do something

bad, Miss Nicole?”

Nicole lifted her gaze and glanced at Scarlett. Before she could speak, Whitney, who was beside her, didn’t hold

back as she blurted out, “See, even a young bud like Scarlett can tell that the 2 of them are up to no good, Miss

Nicole!”

Nicole immediately glared at Whitney and put her finger in front of her lips to make a shushing gesture.

“There are eyes everywhere. Lower your voice,” Nicole said quietly.

Whitney only started to calm down a little then. “Don’t worry,” she whispered. “Miss Nicole knows about it all. Just

look at how smart she is. Does she seem like someone who would be taken advantage of?”

Upon hearing that, Scarlett lowered her head slightly in agreement with Whitney.

Nicole didn’t know how she felt about what she was witnessing. Whitney would always end up in fights with other

people when they were still in F&M Apparel. Nicole never thought that there would come a day when Whitney could

harmoniously coexist with such a young lady in Gardner Apparel.

“Queenie must have come to Joanna because of the dress Wendy would wear for her 18th birthday celebration,”

Nicole pursed her lips and said in a soft and calm voice. “There is nothing much to say about it. It is all a battle

between our abilities. I don’t mind admitting defeat if she designs something better than mine.”

Even though she was saying this casually, she actually had the confidence that Joanna’s designs were incomparable

to her own.

Knowing that Nicole looked down on Joanna, Whitney only let out a low chuckle before the conversation ended.

The trio then went back to the office after they had lunch. Nicole picked up a file and flipped to the design draft she

had come up with. The clothes were almost done being modified. In fact, she had redone it many times in order to

match the dress with the jewelry.

Right then, her phone started to ring as soon as she placed the draft back on her desk. She glanced at it, only to

see that she was getting a call from Triton.

Triton Grant, the founder of Triton Studio, was a man in his thirties with a slightly eccentric temperament.

However, after Nicole had truly gotten to know him during their past collaboration in a project abroad, she realized

that peculiar wasn’t the right word to describe him. Instead, he was but a man who was firm about his own design.

Since Nicole and him were similar in some aspects, it only took them a short while to get close with each other.

After she pressed a button on her phone, she smilingly said into the phone, “I wonder why you are calling me.”

Triton’s raised voice came from the other end of the call then. “Didn’t you want to borrow the new jewelry from

me? Is it for the young miss of the Gardner Family?”

Nicole nodded and hummed before she bluntly told him, “That’s right. It will be her 18th birthday in a little more

than a week. I designed a set of clothes for her, but I keep feeling that something is missing. That is why I wanted to

borrow the jewelry from you.”

“You do know that the jewelry in that design is the main product this season, don’t you? We have always only made

jewelry for the royal family in my studio,” he bragged.

Nicole smiled soundlessly when she heard that. “How can I not know? We’ve worked together for three years.”

“I am only lending it because of you. I wouldn’t have left it in anyone else’s hands even if someone scary and

powerful were to ask for it!” Triton sounded like he was sulking as he spoke.

Nicole was aware of his temper, so she didn’t argue with him. “I know,” she cooed. “I owe you one.”

“What are you talking about?” Triton quickly cut her off. “We are appreciating each other’s work. I have also seen

the lady from the Gardner Family. She is classy and has good looks. I have also seen the clothes for the graduation

party last time. The jewelry was too low-class to be worthy of the clothes you design. It will definitely look a lot

better if you use my jewelry to accessorize your clothes this time.”

Nicole wasn’t at all surprised to hear his arrogant words. Triton had always regarded himself as someone better

than everyone else, which was why it didn’t matter how much money was being offered to him by the wealthy. They

couldn’t buy, or even borrow, the jewelry he designed as long as he wasn’t up for it.

This also indirectly made Triton Studio internationally notorious for being a tough nut to crack.
