Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Invited to Lunch

Nicole also noticed how nervous the young lady before her was. With an amiable smile on her face, she introduced herself politely, saying, “Just call me Nicole. I’m looking forward to working with you in the next three months.”

Looking at the smiling person before her, Scarlett realized that she didn’t seem to be as ferocious as described by those in the office. After being startled for a moment, she immediately nodded, saying, “Just call me if you need anything.”

“In that case, do you know where my office is?” Nicole asked with a smile.

Scarlett promptly pointed at a room, saying, “It’s over there. President Gardner has specially ordered that a separate office be arranged for you. Let me show you the way.”

Nicole followed behind Scarlett. Only the sound of them conversing could be heard in the entire Design Department, whereas the others didn’t say a word, as though they were mute.

Scarlett led Nicole to her office, which was as spacious as her office at F&M Apparel’s headquarters. It seemed that some care had been put into it, for everything in the office was brand new.

Nicole entered the office. After looking around with a nod, she turned her gaze to Scarlett. Suddenly, she asked, “How old are you this year?”

Upon hearing her question, Scarlett felt extremely flattered. She quickly answered, “Uh, I’m 23 years old. I just graduated this year.”

Nicole replied with a smile, “I’m 26 years old this year. You don’t have to be too reserved with me. Just call me Miss Nicole in the future, and I’ll call you Scarlett.” Even though she always sought to be meticulous in her work, she felt it would be better to have a more relaxed attitude when dealing with people.

“Alright, Miss Nicole,” Scarlett promptly replied.

Seeing the gentle smile on Nicole’s face, Scarlett was confused all of a sudden. As soon as she arrived this morning, she had been assigned to Nicole. At the time, her colleagues told her in all earnestness that Nicole had fired a designer directly when she last came. According to them, she might not even pass her internship if she were to work for Nicole. Because of that, she had her heart in her mouth when Nicole came in. But now, it seemed that Nicole wasn’t as described by her colleagues, for she was clearly quite affable.
