Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282 A Warning

After discussing the cooperation with Mason, Nicole left the cafe. When she returned to the company, she found Joanna in her office.

Nicole’s initial thought was that she was here to look for trouble again. Instead, with a slight smile, she put her bag on the stool, looked at her, and said, “Director Schmidt, I haven’t done anything to offend you recently. If you’re here to argue, I won’t play along with you.”

When Joanna noticed that Nicole was back, Joanna stood up directly and stared at Nicole for a long time before calmly saying, “I was at a cafe today and saw that you were with Mason Schumacher of Pinnacle Group.”

However, Nicole did not feel weirded out for being spotted. After all, she had openly invited him to a cafe, and there was nothing shady about that.

“Oh? And, what?” She questioned with interest.

Joanna squinted her eyes and looked at the calm person in front of her. It was strange that Nicole could still remain so calm after being caught.

Nicole noticed how Joanna looked and immediately knew what she was thinking. She chuckled.

“Director Schmidt, you must be thinking that I should panic after being caught meeting up with our competitor, right?”

Nicole had spoken Joanna’s mind, saying everything she wanted to say, so she could only purse her lips and did not make a sound as she continued to stare at Nicole.

Without missing a beat, Nicole continued, “Director Schmidt, you need to understand that I am working under F&M Apparel and not the Gardner Corporation. It’s my personal freedom to cooperate with any companies.”

Joanna naturally knew that and retorted, “But you’re still cooperating with Gardner Corporation now. You can’t be so half-hearted. Lisa, you’re not trying to sell your work with Gardner Corporation to Pinnacle Group, are you?”

“You’re unfairly judging me. Do you think there’s a need for me to sell it?” Nicole questioned.

“Don’t you know that Ann managed to achieve such great success because it was designed by Lisa and not because of the cooperation between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel?” Nicole said truthfully with a smile.
