Chapter 102 Utterly Disappointed
The security guards immediately came running when they heard the cold threat. With one of them holding Sabrina by the arms and the other grabbing her legs, they attempted to manhandle her out of the building.
She kept letting out sounds of protest as she struggled out of their holds. Never could she have imagined that Colton would take Nicole’s side without knowing the whole story.
Her attempt to break free finally succeeded after she relentlessly moved against their grips.
“President Gardner! President Gardner!” she howled as she stumbled her way back toward Colton. “Nicole was the one who attacked me! She hit me first!”
Colton’s expression only further hardened. With his tightly pursed lips and eyes that had dimmed, anyone could see that he wasn’t in his best mood at that moment.
Looking at the scene, Joanna’s palms began to sweat. Then, she stepped forward before Colton had responded, and she lowered her head to peer at the pathetic woman.
Even though they always had a close relationship, Joanna couldn’t just overlook how embarrassing Sabrina was behaving.
“Stop sticking around and causing trouble, Sabrina. You have been fired. How dare you show up at your former workplace and cause this mess!” Joanna chided coldly.
Sabrina froze again out of surprise. With tears in her eyes, she looked up at Joanna like a scolded puppy, and her lips began to quiver pitifully. “Miss Schmidt…” she muttered in an equally shaky voice.
She couldn’t understand why Joanna was treating her this way when all she did was siding with Joanna!
Instead of taking pity on Sabrina, Joanna continued coldly, “Who the hell do you think you are?! Lisa is the representative sent by F&M Apparel for the collaboration with Gardner Corporation. Continue with your silly antics if you have no intention of staying in Goldwick!”
Those words seemed to work as they finally broke Sabrina out of her delusions. Nicole was indeed a representative from F&M Apparel, and if Gardner Apparel had any intention of becoming a top brand in the country, they should definitely try to get on Nicole’s good side.
Joanna had promised to get Sabrina back into Gardner Corporation, but the plan seemed to have backfired all because of Nicole’s refusal to say anything.
On top of that, Sabrina had come across Queenie after learning that Shaun had been sacked by the company. She must have been so blinded by rage for her to cause such commotion at the company.
Sabrina began to pale as she thought about the consequences of her behavior. She wanted to explain herself, yet, she couldn’t possibly say anything about Queenie, who was the Mrs. Gardner-to-be. Like a fish gasping for air, her mouth opened and slammed shut multiple times as she fought her internal conflict.
Thinking that Queenie would probably not let Sabrina off if she were to snitch on her, Sabrina’s fists began to tighten again.
“President Gardner, Miss Lisa, this was my fault. I’m sorry,” Sabrina confessed to the crime with great difficulty. Her fists were still tightly balled as she looked at the floor.
After hearing the apology, Nicole sauntered in front of Sabrina, and with a dark expression on her face, she coldly spat, “Not all apologies deserve forgiveness. You are an adult, and I want you to be held responsible for your actions. I will be releasing a statement as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel. Good luck finding a job within the fashion industry.”
Hearing those words was like a death sentence to Sabrina. There was no room to doubt F&M Apparel’s influence in the industry. They were a global leading brand, after all.
A nervous expression soon replaced the pitiful mask she had on just moments ago. Fashion design was the one thing she wanted to do. She had only ever worked as a designer ever since she had graduated from school. “Miss Schmidt!” Sabrina cried.
She turned to Joanna in hopes for her to lend a helping hand, but Joanna was in no position to save anyone since Joanna could lose her own job any moment now.
“What are you waiting for? Want me to bring her out myself?” Colton’s icy glare stayed on the guards the entire time.
The security personnels quickly reacted by seizing Sabrina and pulling her out of the office. They had covered her mouth this time to stop her from spewing more nonsense.
And just like that, the office immediately returned to its quiet state in the morning. And yet, no one dared to break the stern atmosphere in the room even after witnessing the gossip-worthy scene unfold before them.
Joanna finally broke the silence when she told the rest of the employees to resume with their work. It was only then that the crowd dispersed as they each went back to their own desks.
