Chapter 378 Recruit

The day after Nicole left Gardner Corporation, she received a call from Pinnacle Group.

Mason was the one who made the call, and there was an obvious smile in his voice. He was here to recruit her.

“Long time no see, Pretty Lady. I heard you left Gardner Corporation.”

News traveled fast. She hadn’t even made an announcement, but Mason had already caught wind of it.

Nicole didn’t hide it as she replied, “Yes, I just resigned yesterday. I didn’t think you’d know about it this soon,

President Schumacher.”

Mason smiled and immediately said, “What do you think, Pretty Lady? Would you like to join Pinnacle Group?”

“No, thanks.” Nicole declined without so much as a thought.

Mason seemed to have guessed it as he sighed deeply, shaking his head and saying, “I knew you’d reject me, Pretty

Lady. I’m so sad.”

When she heard his pitiful tone, Nicole couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She said in a louder voice, “Pinnacle

Group is a prestigious place. I won’t be able to get in.”

Of course, Mason knew what Nicole was getting at. He cleared his throat and seemed to have remembered

something as he said, “Right, you’re still entering the Golden Brush Competition this time, right?”

Nicole nodded as she responded, “Yes, I’m still taking part. It’s still some time away, and I have more than a month

to prepare, so I’m not in a hurry. I still have some matters at hand, so I’ll settle those matters first.”

Mason knew that Aimee International had sued Nicole, so he extended a hand in kindness, asking, “Do you need my

help?”

“It’s okay, I don’t like owing people.” Nicole smiled as she spoke, declining the offer.

Mason didn’t insist as he only said, “Do reconsider, Pretty Lady. If you’re willing to come to Pinnacle Group, you’re

very welcome to.”

“I’ve considered it before, and I still think I should do it alone. We can partner up when the opportunity arises.”

Nicole didn’t give Mason any room for guesses as she declined straightaway.

The woman was a golden opportunity herself. Ever since she left Gardner Corporation, there were subsequently

many companies who inquired after her.

After all, everyone knew how well Ann was doing.

Even when Nicole was suspected of plagiarizing designs from Aimee International, such matters could easily be

resolved by some payment behind the scenes.

Nicole was frustrated by the calls she kept receiving, so she set her phone to reject all unknown numbers. With that,

she could finally rest.

Meanwhile, things were getting worse at Gardner Corporation.

They thought that Aimee International would let Gardner Corporation off the hook after Nicole was kicked out.

Unexpectedly, Aimee International wasn’t suing Nicole as an individual; they were suing the entire Gardner

Corporation.

Now that they had chased Nicole out and fired Joanna, there was none left to take responsibility.

As for Colton, he acted as if he didn’t care, so the board of directors was in a terrible mess.

Eventually, they were unable to bear the pressure coming from Aimee International, so they grabbed Colton and

held another meeting.

Colton sat at a distance at the side, his gaze lazy as he looked over at the crowd smilingly. With a curve on his lips,

he smiled and said, “What’s the matter? You guys keep holding rushed meetings so often that I think you might end

up holding one every single day. I’m not so free as to play along with your drama, you know.”

Colton’s words annoyed the directors, and they looked at him as they said harshly, “Aimee International has given

their final deadline now. If we don’t deal with it, we’d have to pay a large sum to compensate!”

“Yes, this money will impair the company greatly. We finally earned something this year, but we’re going to lose it

all again!”

They had invested lots of capital due to the partnership with Aimee International, so if they were found breaking the

contract, they had to pay a large sum as default penalty. Even though the company wouldn’t go bankrupt, they

wouldn’t be able to get any profit for at least a year!
