Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 I’m Sorry

Meanwhile, Nicole went to Colton’s office with him, and she only spoke when the door was closed. “President Gardner, you don’t have to side with me so much, actually.”

Colton lifted his head at her without much change in his expression, and he lowered his head again as he chuckled softly. “Nicole,” he called out, while the look in his dark eyes were different from earlier as there was a hidden smirk in them. “This is a partnership between F&M Apparel and the Gardner Corporation, and your talent as the Chief Designer for F&M Apparel is unquestionable.”

Astonished, Nicole wasn’t expecting that he would say something like this to her. She lowered her gaze, and a smile spread across her face. He probably found out what Sabrina said to me earlier and is trying to console me with this now.

With a smile, she said casually, “President Gardner, as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, I’ve been through turbulent situations before as well. Although those were some mean criticisms, it’s still within my tolerance level.”

For a few seconds, Colton kept his eyes fixed on her before giving her a nod. “Okay.” He paused. “You can also tell me if there’s any issue.”

Without holding back, Nicole said straightforwardly, “Even though I had a small argument with Shaun from human resources last evening, there was no need to fire him. It’s inevitable to have some disagreements between colleagues, and I don’t wish to be an exception.”

It didn’t occur to Colton that she would speak up for Shaun, so a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Looking up, he pursed his lips and asked, “Is that really what you think?”

Nicole nodded. “I’m only going to be in Gardner Corporation for a few months, so there’s no need to cause such a big ruckus because of me. I joined Gardner Corporation with the idea of creating a clothing line for your company together with your other designers, not to cause the situation now,” she said, a bitter smile hanging on her face.

Fixing his gaze on her, he nodded. “It seems that I didn’t think it through properly.”
