Chapter 283 Dismissal

In the afternoon, Nicole headed over to Colton’s office.

He was a little taken aback by her arrival. After all, they now have an ambiguous relationship.

He raised his eyebrow and looked at her, asking with a smile, “Is everything alright, Nicole?”

However, Nicole did not beat around the bush and immediately dived straight into it.

“Well, it’s almost that time of the year for the Golden Brush Award. I want Gardner Corporation to recommend me

as a participant in the competition, so I am here to ask for your opinion.”

Colton did not even question her and agreed, “Okay.”

This took her by surprise as she was ready to explain why he should recommend her. Unexpectedly, he did not

even ask and just readily agreed to her demands.

Because of this, she lowered her gaze. She didn’t know how to react to his decisiveness.

Colton took the opportunity to study the woman in front of him. Nicole was beautiful, with her chubby cheeks.

Although she might not have a stunning face at first glance, she was indeed still lovely.

She did not like using makeup except for important occasions. She would either put on lipstick or some light make-

up. There were days when she would even go out bare-faced.

All of these could not deflect the confidence and beauty that she exuded.

After he discovered that Nicole was the woman he had slept with five years ago, he felt that his mood had changed

significantly. He became eager to get the woman in front of him.

Nevertheless, he was good at concealing his feelings. After all, it was better to take things slow regarding things like

these.

“If you have any other requests, just tell me. I owe them to you, after all,” Colton said generously.

Nicole remained silent. To be honest, he did not owe her anything at all. Although she had saved him by mistake,

she would not have gone if Queenie did not give her the money…

At this moment, Nicole let out a sigh of relief. Whatever it was, there was nothing left for her to say now that she

had achieved the goal.

“Thank you, President Gardner. There’s nothing else from me. I shall leave you be,” she said respectfully with a

slight bow.

Colton smiled and said nothing, watching her walk away until she was out of sight.

The timing was perfect, for the Golden Brush Award was about a week away.

She wanted to resign before F&M Apparel could dismiss her. That way, she could leave with a flair to her name

since she did not need the severance pay anyway.

When Nicole returned home, she got Whitney to release some rumors on the Internet. Unfortunately, it was nothing

more than how the Pinnacle Group and Gardner Corporation were scrambling to fight for Lisa’s work.

Whitney did as Nicole instructed, and because of Nicole’s outstanding reputation, the little bit of news spread like

wildfire.

That night at Wendy’s birthday party, it was rumored that Nicole had lost to Joanna and that the future Mrs.

Gardner would wear the dress that Joanna had designed. Once the dress was shown, the unsuspecting audience

immediately complimented Joanna.

Nonetheless, after hearing Gardner Corporation’s explanation of how Nicole designed the dress, the audience was

once again impressed by her talent.

As a great designer would always come up on top, no piece of clothing would not be sold. Any designs would be a

highlight.

With Nicole’s reputation, its popularity in the country grew even more popular than F&M Apparel.

Because of this, some shareholders of F&M Apparel were reluctant to fire her and wanted her to continue as the

Chief Designer of F&M Apparel.

After all, she had the capability and the fame; these were all excellent attributes for F&M Apparel.

Regardless, without Zachary’s obstruction, those shareholders would have no way to compete with Benjamin.

Compared to the Gardner Corporation, F&M Apparel was the size of an ant next to an elephant, so there was no

hope for her continued presence in F&M Apparel.

The internal executives could not do anything to stop it. They could only go through layers after layers of

procedures and began Nicole’s dismissal.
