Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Establishing Her Superiority

Nicole looked up and darted an indifferent look at the woman before her. With a faint smile on her lips, she looked at Sabrina, saying, “Whatever you do, you have to face the consequences. If I didn’t come here today, were you going to act one way to my face and another behind my back?”

Nicole sounded extremely calm as she spoke, but her words rendered Sabrina lost for words. She turned crimson with embarrassment, but at the thought of her job, she grabbed the elevator doors tightly and pleaded in a humble tone, “Please forgive me, Miss Lisa. If I get fired by Gardner Corporation, I’ll never be able to work as a designer anymore.” Whatever the reason was, getting fired would be a black mark on a designer’s résumé.

Nicole stood in the elevator without moving as a smile appeared on her face. She said, “I won’t say anything to President Gardner.”

Sabrina had just let out a sigh of relief when she heard Nicole continue, “But do you think no one will tell him what happened today?”

Her words crushed Sabrina thoroughly. She’s right; everyone in the Design Department knows what happened today, so they know that I’ve offended Lisa, thought Sabrina to herself. If Lisa had been absent, she would still have Joanna backing her up, and those people wouldn’t dare to go around gossiping about her. But now that she had been caught in the act, even if Joanna were to side with her, it would be useless.

Nicole gave a light chuckle. Looking at the crestfallen woman before her, she joked, “Could you release your grip already, lady? It’s a little dangerous to do so after all.”
