Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 254

Nicole's words had completely stopped Joanna from retorting. Still, Joanna would never admit defeat, and neither would she acknowledge that the problem lay with her.

"There's nothing wrong with my design!" she roared.

Nicole let out a light chuckle, and a mocking smile hung from her lips. "Have you thought about why Wendy chose your dress?"

Joanna jolted to a stop when she quietly thought to herself, Because of the jewelry Queenie borrowed?

Even though she had the answer, Joanna couldn't possibly admit that she and Queenie were partners in crime.

"Of course it is because she likes my dress!"

Listening to her confident words, Nicole couldn't help but chuckle. "Why are you here interrogating me if you are so confident about your work? I shouldn't be able to change her mind no matter how many dresses I make if she likes your design, right?"

Even though there was no fault in what Nicole said,

Wendy had mentioned before that she would have chosen Nicole's dress if it wasn't for the jewelry Queenie borrowed.

A flash of doubt instantly appeared in Joanna's eyes when she considered the possibility that it was because of Queenie that her dress was replaced.

"What do you mean? Wendy chose my design, but you were secretly making the dress and you even brought it over. Wendy would have chosen my dress if it wasn't because of you!"

Nicole couldn't help laughing again at Joanna's words. "Director Schmidt, if you have the time to question me here, you might as well go to Queenie and ask her what is going on!"

Joanna could feel her heart drop when Nicole said that. Just as I thought! It is because of Queenie that Mrs. Gardner decided against my dress. That useless, unreliable woman!

Despite realizing that Nicole wasn't the one she should be blaming, Joanna continued to stubbornly pester Nicole in order to not be seen as a joke. "The person Queenie got is from Triton Studio! How could anything go wrong with that?!"

Nicole, on the other hand, started smiling as she looked at Joanna's retreating back. Dog-eat-dog scenarios like this were her favorite kind to watch.

After Joanna returned to her own office, her body began to turn cold at the thought of Queenie being the reason her dress was switched out.

She swiftly took out her phone and gave Queenie a call, and as soon as the call was picked up, she blurted out, "Did something happen on your side, Queenie?!"

As Queenie listened to Joanna's questioning voice, she suddenly remembered that she had gone home in despair after Kevin was exposed. She had completely forgotten to explain the situation to Joanna.

Now that she had gotten Colton's distrust, the only way she could turn all this around was with Joanna's help. After gathering herself, she suggested, "Director

Schmidt, let's meet at Blossoms Steakhouse for lunch if you can make time. We will talk face-to-face then."

Joanna only replied through gritted teeth, "What the hell are you doing, Queenie?!"
