Chapter 50 Nicole Starts Working at Gardner Corporation

Hayden looked up at his mother, whose face looked somewhat pale. He shook her arm and comforted

her, saying, “Mom, what are you worried about? Joseph isn’t my dad, anyway.”

His voice snapped Nicole out of her thoughts. Looking down at her son’s tender cheeks, she swept him

up in her arms and pinched his cheek gently with her fingers as her lips curled into a forced smile. “I

was just angry because I thought someone’s trying to snatch you away from me.”

“Don’t be angry, Mom. I’m yours; no one can snatch me away from you,” Hayden replied in all

seriousness while hugging Nicole.

Thanks to Hayden’s words, Nicole’s gloomy expression finally eased somewhat. Walking on with her

son in her arms, her tone turned jolly, and she said, “You’re right, Hayden. Let’s go home. I’ll make

something delicious for you to eat.”

“Okay! I want to eat noodles.”

Although Hayden refused to admit that Joseph was his father, Nicole knew that she had spent a night

with Joseph five years ago. Joseph was the only man she had ever slept with. There was no light in the

room that night, and she didn’t get to see what the person on top of her looked like, but Queenie had

had Joseph intoxicated and sent into the hotel room at the time in order to attach herself to the Mann

Family. Nicole knew the whole process, which was why she refused Joseph so fiercely when he said

those words. If Joseph learned that Hayden was his son, someone like him would definitely use

Hayden to intimidate her into helping Mann Clothing Co.

…

To Nicole, this year’s mid-winter holiday wasn’t any different than ordinary days, for she only spent the

holiday hanging out everywhere with her son. This was the first time Hayden returned to the country

with her, so he was very curious about everything in the country and the country’s customs.

Nicole had thought that she would be able to leave the country after the mid-winter holiday. However,

after doing some mental calculations, she now realized that she had to stay in the country for at least

another three months. Hayden’s school was about to reopen. Nicole had wanted to send him back to

school, but he refused to go to school and insisted on staying in the country. Having no other option,

she could only let him stay in the country with her for the time being.

After the mid-winter holiday, the companies had begun to resume business one after another. There

was a nanny in the villa to look after Hayden, who was a smart and mischievous boy himself. Hence,

with nothing to worry about, Nicole went to work at Gardner Corporation right away.

Even though Nicole didn’t have a work badge, the front desk lady was already very familiar with her, so

she received Nicole with a bright smile.

Nicole went all the way up to the Design Department. Today was the first day she officially joined

Gardner Corporation, where she would be staying for three months.

At 9:00AM sharp, Nicole stepped into Gardner Corporation’s Design Department. Thanks to her arrival,

the originally boisterous office instantly fell silent.

Today, Nicole wasn’t dressed as casually as she did when she came to the department for the first

time. Wearing exquisite makeup, she was dressed in a light-colored overcoat that made her look

especially radiant, matched with a tulle skirt and a pair of high heels. When she walked, her skirt would

swish, creating an air current. The way she dressed today made her look like a successful

businesswoman at first glance.

When she glanced around the office, no one looked up at her; everyone was lowering their heads and

busying themselves with their own stuff. She darted a glance at where Sabrina was previously seated,

and sure enough, the woman was no longer there, and her desk had been cleared. Seems like she has

really been sent packing.

Shortly after Nicole came in, a young lady wearing a white down coat suddenly came to her side with a

timid expression. She said in a whisper, “Hi, Miss Lisa. I’m Scarlett Lockhart, your assistant at Gardner

Corporation. If you need anything, I’m at your service.”

Inwardly, Scarlett was in a state of nerves. She happened to join the company before the turn of the

year. However, after the mid-winter holiday, she was suddenly informed by her superior that she would

be working as an assistant for Lisa, the woman at the apex of the entire fashion design industry. Now

that her first job out of college was to be Lisa’s assistant, she inevitably felt somewhat nervous.
