Chapter 262 There Is an Event

Nicole burst out in laughter when she heard Joanna’s interrogation.

She raised her eyes and looked at the overbearing woman in front of her, and she couldn’t comprehend how

Joanna could be so shamelessly complacent about herself.

“Wendy said that she likes my design more, yes?” Nicole stated bluntly.

Joanna might not even have had the chance to make the dress if Queenie hadn’t approached her with that fake

gemstone.

“And?” Joanna asked with her lips pursed. She didn’t answer the question.

Seeing her refusal to admit it, Nicole continued with a smile on her face. “Your design is nothing more than the

ornament to the jewelry Queenie borrowed. Do you really think that Mrs. Gardner would have chosen your dress if

there was no jewelry to begin with?”

Nicole had to explain clearly. It would be annoying if Joanna kept coming at her because of this.

“Wendy would have worn that fake one if I hadn’t gotten Mr. Freeman to bring the pink jewelry. The dress you

designed does match the fake, though.”

Fake? Joanna’s body immediately went stiff at that. “Are you saying that the jewelry was a fake?”

From her shocked reaction, it was clear to Nicole that Queenie hadn’t told Joanna the details.

Still smiling gently, Nicole threw out, “You can go ask Mrs. Gardner and see if I am lying to you. Also, you have

altered your dress so much to fit the jewelry that it is horrendous. Without the jewelry, I am sure that no one would

spare it another glance even if you threw it on the ground.”

Joanna was so angry that even her lungs seemed to throb when she listened to Nicole’s ridicule. However, she

couldn’t deny the truth in her words.

She knew how much of a clown she looked like standing in front of Nicole at this moment.

Gritting her teeth, Joanna hissed, “I will get to the bottom of this myself, but Miss Lisa, is this the kind of attitude you

should have as a designer? You are making fun of another designer and criticizing my work!”

Nicole wasn’t at all affected by Joanna’s probing. Instead, she stated, “I am an internationally recognized designer,

and I served as a judge during the global competition last year. Do you think I am qualified to criticize your work

now?”

Not knowing what else she could say, Joanna quickly turned around and went back the way she came from.

Nicole had never thought that the competition between women could be so fierce when she was in F&M Apparel.

She had now had the honor to experience it first-hand after returning to the country.

Nicole didn’t even have any intentions toward Colton, but everyone somehow seemed to think that she was trying

to get her hands on him.

She finally let out a sigh. Alas, Colton was the reason any of this was happening. She didn’t even know what went

through his head when he decided to kiss her out of nowhere.

All that she could do now was hope that time would pass by faster so that she could return to F&M Apparel after

two more months.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Wendy suddenly appeared with a smile.

She elegantly lifted the sides of her dress like a real princess.

“I knew you were here, Miss Nicole! I asked Colton just now, but he told me to not disturb you.”

As though she was complaining when she talked to Nicole, Wendy spoke in a displeased tone.

Hearing that, Nicole smiled in return and shook her head. “You are not disturbing me, but why did you come up

here? It is your birthday banquet. You are the reason everyone came.”

A mysterious air suddenly surrounded Wendy as she whispered to Nicole, “Let’s go downstairs, Miss Nicole. There

will be an event later. Let’s join it together.”

Nicole looked exhausted and even though she didn’t want to go, she didn’t want to make Wendy unhappy by

rejecting the girl. After all, it was Wendy’s birthday banquet, and the young lady had even personally invited her.

With a nod of her head, she stood up and said, “Sure.”

Wendy’s face was full of smiles the moment Nicole agreed to it, and she began to drag Nicole along with her as she

made her way downstairs.

Right as they were walking down the stairs, Nicole suddenly felt her eyelid jump twice. She let out a frown at that.

She had never had something good happen to her after her eyelid jumped.
