Chapter 92 Joanna Schmidt Is Back

By the time Colton walked out, Nicole was bickering with Hayden.

“Mom, I have already said that Joseph, the foolish bum, can’t possibly be my dad! I’m sure my dad is someone like

Mr. Handsome.”

“Stop it. You’re already shameless at such a young age!”

“Hmph! If you don’t believe me, you can check out his DNA paternity test report,” Hayden grumbled indignantly

with a pout.

The moment Colton walked out, he overheard the conversation between the mother and son, and the gloom on his

face was slightly dismissed. Holding the paternity report, he waved it at Nicole and asked, “Miss Anderson, do you

want to check this report?”

As she looked downward, she pressed her lips and shook her head with a faint smile. “It’s okay. Regardless of the

content in it, it doesn’t matter to me.”

Assuming that she did not wish to comment further on the topic, he kept the report away and said, “I’ll send you

guys back.”

“Thanks a lot for your help today, President Gardner.” Nicole expressed her genuine gratitude as she knew she

must have caused Colton, a dignified president, a dilemma by asking him to do such a sneaky task.

Colton smiled nonchalantly and did not continue with the topic since Hayden was still around. “My pleasure.”

…

By the time they arrived home at night, Zachary was already home with a weary expression.

Seeing his exhausted countenance, Nicole bit her tongue and remained silent for a moment, but she eventually

said, “Zachary, if you have any matters to settle, please go ahead. I’m still able to handle my affairs so far.”

Shaking his head, Zachary pressed his brows and hummed gently, “It’s all settled now.”

She nodded and did not probe further. Thereafter, she brought Hayden upstairs.

When she arrived at the office the next day, Nicole noticed the originally quiet Design Department was much livelier

and even heard people whispering the moment she entered.

However, the murmurs ceased moments after she went in.

She was not surprised by this because she had been transferred from F&M Apparel after all, and the staff still

deemed her as an outsider.

As soon as she entered her room, Scarlett followed her in.

“Miss Nicole, Director Schmidt is back,” Scarlett said with a low voice. Although she was an employee of Gardner

Corporation, she had been working under Nicole since joining the company. Meanwhile, Nicole was protective

toward her subordinate and treated Scarlett well.

“You mean Joanna Schmidt?” Nicole raised her brow and asked. She had heard of such a name from Queenie when

she first came to Gardner Corporation.

“Yeah.” Scarlett nodded. Looking hesitant, she still spoke up after a while. “Miss Nicole, about this… I heard from

colleagues that Sabrina is exceptionally close to Joanna and was fired from Gardner Corporation…”

Nicole knew what Scarlett wanted to say. She lifted her head to gaze at the cautious young lady in front of her, who

was obviously on her side despite the timid appearance.

After giving an unconcerned smile, Nicole nodded. “I see, alright. There’s always a solution to a problem. She can’t

possibly declare a war the moment she returns.”

Seeing Nicole’s confident smile, Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief.

Rumor had it in the Design Department that it was Nicole who chased Sabrina out of the company and Joanna

would surely teach Nicole a lesson upon her return.

However, judging from Nicole’s calm look, Scarlett reckoned that she was already prepared. “Alright then. Have a

good day, Miss Nicole. I shall excuse myself first.”

A knock at the door emerged out of the blue at around 10:00AM.

Ever since Nicole started working here, no one had entered her office besides Scarlett.

Seeing that the visitor had not entered the room after a while, Nicole guessed it must be the Joanna Schmidt whom

everyone was talking about.

In fact, Nicole did not find Joanna’s name to be strange. Not only was Joanna a well-known designer in the country,

she was also a student of Master Engler. As such, she thought that it would be awesome to have an opportunity to

meet Joanna.

“Please come in.”

After Nicole said that, the door was opened to reveal a tall woman walking in.

The woman was dressed in a light-colored one-piece dress while her hair was kept at shoulder length. With her

optimum makeup, she made a first impression of gentleness and elegance and did not seem to be someone who

came to seek trouble.

“You must be Ms. Lisa.” The woman’s gaze fell on Nicole the moment she entered the room while her warm voice

that resembled the spring breeze was pleasing to the ears.

A courteous Nicole stood up and nodded. “Yes, you can call me Nicole.”

“Hi, Nicole. I’m Joanna Schmidt, the design director of Gardner Corporation.”
