Chapter 201 As Long as She Loses

Queenie didn’t even have her lunch as she hurried over to Joanna’s office, after somehow finding out that Joanna wanted to compare the design draft with Nicole’s.

Queenie was greeted by the sight of Joanna designing a draft with her head down right after she barged into the room. “Director Schmidt!” she interrupted. “Long time no see.”

Joanna lifted her gaze to look at the agitated woman. After all, she wasn’t deaf. She had heard all the commotion and noise Queenie made when she stomped her way into her office.

With an innocent gaze, Joanna didn’t look particularly welcoming as she said indifferently, “Please don’t come to the Design Department looking for me if there is nothing of importance, Miss Anderson. We are not close enough for you to do that!”

Queenie could tell instantly what was happening when she saw how distant Joanna behaved.

She had thought that she could bring Nicole down in one fell swoop, especially when so many things were happening all at once. She would never have imagined that Nicole would turn the situation around on her instead.

Joanna wasn’t directly involved, but she could guess that this situation was Queenie’s doing. In order to not get any dirt on herself, she naturally would want to stop her contact with Queenie.

“You can’t say that, Director Schmidt. Didn’t you promise to design a gown for me? Of course I have to come and see for myself what the progress is so far,” Queenie said with a smile as she took slow steps forward.

Then, her eyebrows slightly lifted when her gaze fell on the design draft on Joanna’s desk.

With the youthful elements included in the draft, it didn’t take much for her to figure out who the design was for.

Joanna had a small frown on her face after hearing Queenie’s words. She didn’t think Queenie would take the words Joanna had said to brush her off seriously.

With that, she randomly picked a file and placed it on the desk. “Here are the drafts I designed over the years. Take a look, Miss Anderson. I will ask the factory to produce it if there is one that catches your eye.”

Instead of getting angry at Joanna for her nonchalant attitude, Queenie only smiled before she stopped beating around the bush. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I heard that Mrs. Gardner and Wendy came this morning, and they went directly to Nicole’s office.”

Joanna stopped drawing and she lifted her chin to look at Queenie. Her eyes were narrowed as she stated in an unhappy tone, “It seems that you have also placed an informant in my Design Department.”

“Not really. After all, I will always be worried as long as Nicole is here. It will be hard for me to help you if something were to happen because no one is keeping watch,” Queenie replied with a smile.

“So? Are you here making a fuss because Mrs. Gardner and Wendy went to Nicole’s office?” Joanna sassed.

Queenie pressed her lips together and as she sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, she simply threw out, “Triton Studio.”

Joanna was stunned for a moment, and a hint of surprise appeared across her eyes. Not comprehending where the conversation was heading, she looked at Queenie and questioned, “What do

you mean?”

“I have contacted Triton Studio. The designer who works there is willing to lend me this year’s latest jewelry,” Queenie boasted with her head held high.

Joanna hadn’t expected Queenie to have the ability to get something like that done. She had thought about helping Wendy to search for a matching piece of jewelry before, but Triton Studio only produced jewelry exclusively for the royal family. She couldn’t even meet the designer even though she had gone to them as ‘Master Engler’s apprentice’.

“Is that true?” Suspicious, Joanna couldn’t help but ask.

Seeing that she was interested, Queenie didn’t hold back as she took out her phone and flipped through the chat history. She then held it directly in front of Joanna’s face. “I am sure you have seen this jewelry before, yes?”

Joanna looked at the photo of the jewelry, and she instantly recognized that it indeed was a new product released by Triton Studio. Even though it wasn’t the brand’s signature product, it was still extremely precious.

Triton Studio would announce their new products every year and this product happened to be one of those that could only be looked at, but not touched.

Joanna dropped her surprise and the corners of her lips were lifted as she praised, “You are pretty good, Miss Anderson.”

Queenie then kept her phone and looked at Joanna. “I will stop mincing my words. I have already gotten the jewelry and I will deliver it to the Gardner Residence early tomorrow morning. Wendy will definitely ask for your design if you can make clothes that match the jewelry.”

Joanna didn’t have much emotion on her face upon hearing that. She only asked a simple question, “What are you planning?”

Being able to wear a piece by Triton Studio was an honor everyone in the world would love to have. Hence, she was sure that Wendy would not give up.

Queenie’s eyes glinted dangerously as she smiled and exclaimed, “The only thing I want is for Nicole to lose!”
