Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 I Am Lisa

Nicole raised her head and subconsciously frowned at the sight of the two before her. Queenie and Joseph? Is the world that small that I’d bump into these two? “What does my whereabouts have anything to do with you?

“You’ve come here looking for Colton, haven’t you?” Queenie revealed a trace of anger on her face as she finally understood why Nicole would pretend to be Lisa. Someone must have told her that Colton is coming for F&M Apparel’s annual dinner, and now she’s pretending to be the company’s Chief Designer to meet him!

“You’re such a b*tch, Nicole! Slept with a man five years ago and now you’re eyeing for Colton. There’s no way he’d fall for a woman like you!” Queenie apathetically uttered as her eyes were filled with intense vexation.

“Hey, watch your mouth!” When Nicole heard her mindless jabbering, her eyebrows furrowed into a tight line. “It’s only natural that I’m here because I am Lisa, F&M Apparel’s Chief Designer.”

Hearing that, Joseph scoffed. “Oh, Miss Anderson. Who would’ve thought you’d be so persistent with your lie for the sake of your pride? Props to you for your determination.”

“Still, there should be limits to your nonsense, Nicole.” Queenie raised her head boastfully. And here I thought she was only posing as Lisa to act as if she was the superior one, but her ulterior motive was really only to get close to Colton! If that’s the case, I’ll tear her name apart!

Queenie snickered. “Since it has come to this, I shall tell you the truth, Nicole. I am, in fact, Lisa’s assistant in the country.”

Assistant? Nicole was baffled. No wonder her voice and number felt familiar… So it has been Queenie all along? And the friend she brought over today is Joseph?

Catching the brief confusion on her face, Queenie grinned even more complacently, assuming Nicole’s expression was the result of her exposure. Her speech, as well, grew more pompous. “I’ve no idea how you got in here, but I’d leave as soon as possible if I were you instead of embarrassing myself here.”

Joseph tacitly added, “I know right? Wouldn’t know how I’d recover from the shame if I were to get exposed publicly.”
