Chapter 221 Pry
Queenie couldn’t deny that Joanna’s words weren’t wrong in the least.
“Fine. I will just treat this as a means to become your friend, Director Schmidt.” Queenie swiftly hung up after finishing her words.
When afternoon came, Queenie arrived at the Gardner Corporation after she had packed up. With graceful steps, she first headed to Joanna’s office.
As she was helping Joanna this time, Joanna actually held back on being contemptuous toward her.
Queenie proceeded to sit on the sofa. She was wearing a bodycon dress today that hugged the curves of her voluptuous body. The slits on the side of her legs were near the base of her thighs, and it gave her a flirtatious look. The pair of high heels she had on, too, only made her look taller than she was.
She raised her eyes and glanced lazily at the person in front of her. “How rare of you to not complain about me now that I am here, Director Schmidt.”
Joanna didn’t pay attention to Queenie’s goading tone of voice. Instead, she stayed in her seat behind the desk as she looked over and stated, “Nicole is making clothes in her office. I want to know what she is up to.”
Queenie smiled and let out a laugh then. “Joanna Schmidt, what are you being so cautious about? What else do you have to worry about when Mrs. Gardner has already said yes to you?”
Pushing her chair back, Joanna stood up and demanded, “I can’t allow even one minor flaw in the things that I want to do!”
Seeing how serious she was, Queenie stopped joking around as she stood up as well.
“Do you want to come with me and check on what Nicole is doing?”
Joanna hesitated for a while after hearing Queenie’s suggestion. She initially only wanted Queenie to come forward. After all, she didn’t have the best reputation herself to not raise a flag if she were to do it herself.
Queenie looked at her hesitating, and she raised her chin with a proud look on her face. “Director Schmidt? Could it be that you want to get things done without dirtying your own hands and I am your tool to achieving your goals?”

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!!!...
