Chapter 113 Calm and Composed
After the meeting, Nicole went up to Colton’s office.
Colton appeared calm, and he didn’t seem anxious because of the leaked design drafts. When he saw Nicole coming in, there was a gentle smile on his face.
“You’re here. Would you like to try some coffee I recently bought?”
Nicole shook her head. “No, thanks.”
Dressed in a white suit, Colton had a tall figure and a handsome face, which made him look like a prince who had walked out of a fairy tale.
“The matter this time is really as you predicted. The design drafts were leaked before our new product launch,” Colton uttered slowly, his dark eyes gleaming.
“It’s just as well. Just think of it as a warm-up for the new product launch.” Nicole laughed.
Her office didn’t have surveillance cameras because it was newly renovated, but after the first time Henry came to her office, she had secretly installed one in a hidden corner.
At that time, she wished that it was just her overthinking, but she didn’t expect… in the surveillance footage, she actually saw Henry making a backup of her designs…
However, she didn’t expose him on the spot, but played dumb instead. She figured there must be someone else manipulating him behind the scenes, so she couldn’t wait to find out who they were.
“Are you suspecting Joanna?” Colton suddenly asked.
Previously, after Joanna left the factory, Nicole made changes to the previous designs. Although the materials required were the same, the styles were completely different.
“I don’t suspect her, but I’ll be more certain if one less person knows.”
Colton nodded, not having much to say about Nicole’s approach. This time, the public was closely monitoring the cooperation between the Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel, so there could be no mistakes.
The person who leaked the design must be watching the show. They didn’t need to spend any money for the public to cause an uproar for them.
Joanna frowned when she heard Nicole’s nonchalant voice, and she said sharply, “Miss Lisa, I’m not joking. As the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, do you not know the seriousness of this matter?”
When she saw how unperturbed Nicole was, her tone became more solemn.
“It’s a taboo for a company to have their design leaked before it’s launched!”
Nicole quietly listened to her, then took small sips of coffee from the cup in her hands. Putting down the cup, she said slowly, “I know. So now, even if we know who leaked it, it’s useless.”
Joanna narrowed her eyes, unable to understand Nicole. She’s obviously in deep trouble, but why is she still so calm?
Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Nicole continued, “Tomorrow will be the day for the new product launch, and most of the clothes in the factory have been made. What we have to do now is to promote the new products well and ensure this launch gets the public’s attention.”
When Joanna saw how calm Nicole was, she couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “We don’t have to worry about the attention. The leaked design drafts gave our launching event enough attention before it started.”
