Chapter 218 Sit Back and Watch
Knowing that Nicole had her own strategy, Wendy obediently nodded and reassured, “Don’t worry, Miss Nicole. I will definitely keep this a secret.”
Nicole was right; anything could happen to the valuable jewelry from Triton Studio. She would be the embarrassed one if she had announced it earlier and failed to obtain it in the end, which meant that her plan had to be perfect.
Now that Wendy was aware of the importance of the matter, Nicole didn’t say anything and only said a few words before she bid her goodbye and left.
Nicole noticed the strange looks that everyone threw her way as soon as she returned to the Design Department. However, the other employees didn’t seem to be gossiping as she didn’t hear any whispers in the background.
Whitney, who happened to see her entering, quickly dragged her into the office.
Seeing her agitated behavior, Nicole couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
“What else can it be? I am so pissed from listening to all that earlier!” There was anger written all over Whitney’s face.
Nicole could almost guess what her friend had heard. In a lazy voice, she guessed, “Did they say that I can’t even compete with Joanna?”
“Exactly!” Whitney nodded with anger still evident on her face. She had no reservations at all when she plopped onto the couch and started complaining.
“Miss Nicole, as soon as that woman, Queenie, came back with Joanna earlier, she immediately babbled congratulations. It went along the lines of ‘Miss Joanna, I didn’t expect your design to be better than Nicole’s!’ and ‘Mrs. Gardner and Wendy both loved your design, Miss Joanna!'”
Whitney spoke in a high-pitched voice, her impression of Queenie sounding surprisingly similar to the woman she was impersonating.
Nicole couldn’t help laughing out loud as she looked at Whitney. Then, she relaxed in the seat she sat in.
She seemed pleased when she uttered, “Let them talk all they want.”

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
