Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 201

Queenie didn’t even have her lunch as she hurried over to Joanna’s office, after somehow finding out that Joanna wanted to compare the design draft with Nicole’s.

Queenie was greeted by the sight of Joanna designing a draft with her head down right after she barged into the room. “Director Schmidt!” she interrupted. “Long time no see.”

Joanna lifted her gaze to look at the agitated woman. After all, she wasn’t deaf. She had heard all the commotion and noise Queenie made when she stomped her way into her office.

With an innocent gaze, Joanna didn’t look particularly welcoming as she said indifferently, “Please don’t come to the Design Department looking for me if there is nothing of importance, Miss Anderson. We are not close enough for you to do that!”

Queenie could tell instantly what was happening when she saw how distant Joanna behaved.

She had thought that she could bring Nicole down in one fell swoop, especially when so many things were happening all at once. She would never have imagined that Nicole would turn the situation around on her instead.

Joanna wasn’t directly involved, but she could guess that this situation was Queenie’s doing. In order to not get any dirt on herself, she naturally would want to stop her contact with Queenie.

“You can’t say that, Director Schmidt. Didn’t you promise to design a gown for me? Of course I have to come and see for myself what the progress is so far,” Queenie said with a smile as she took slow steps forward.

Then, her eyebrows slightly lifted when her gaze fell on the design draft on Joanna’s desk.

With the youthful elements included in the draft, it didn’t take much for her to figure out who the design was for.

Joanna had a small frown on her face after hearing Queenie’s words. She didn’t think Queenie would take the words Joanna had said to brush her off seriously.

With that, she randomly picked a file and placed it on the desk. “Here are the drafts I designed over the years. Take a look, Miss Anderson. I will ask the factory to produce it if there is one that catches your eye.”

Instead of getting angry at Joanna for her nonchalant attitude, Queenie only smiled before she stopped beating around the bush.

“I heard that Mrs. Gardner and Wendy came this morning, and they went directly to Nicole’s office.”
