Chapter 43 Keeping Her Poise

• Wearing a half-smile on her face, Nicole looked impassively at the woman before her, whose face had turned crimson with embarrassment. Instead of blowing up or doing anything, she merely stood up and ran her eyes over everyone in the office. "We'll probably be working together for several months after this. I'll be working with everyone here at Gardner Corporation, so if you have any problems, just talk them out. I don't like talking behind anyone's back." Her gaze swept over everyone before falling upon Sabrina's face. "If you hear any rumors about me, you're welcome to go to me directly about them. After all, we'll be working together, so I don't want any misunderstanding between us."
• Nicole's words were very well-said. Instead of lashing out at Sabrina, she dealt with the situation by being modest, but such a clever move put Sabrina on the spot. As a result, Sabrina had made a spectacle of herself in the Design Department.
• Nicole's words were met with a positive response from everyone else in the Design Department. After all, the department's focus would be on Nicole in the next few months.
