Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time

Chapter 284
However, the leaders of F&M Apparel couldn't believe that a day before they dismissed Nicole, they received a letter of
resignation from her!
In general, people in major positions like her would not be able to take up the same job for five years if they were to resign. Of
course, it would be a different story if they were fired.
Yet, here was Nicole, unexpectedly resigning from her job. Was it that she wasn't ready to continue to develop in the clothing
industry?
Nevertheless, the answer was quickly revealed;
Nicole's contract was signed five years ago and had already expired at the beginning of this year. Later, the renewal contract
was drafted by Zachary, and this clause was not marked on the contract.
In other words, her resignation would only result in the loss of a few months' worth of compensation salary.
Zachary had already thought ahead about Nicole's resignation and drafted this contract for her.
As the executive president of F&M Apparel, no one
looked into the contract he drafted. Because of that, Nicole could resign without taking any severe repercussions.

On the other end, the shareholders couldn't hear the pressure from Benjamin for long. There was not much difference between
Nicole getting dismissed, or if she resigned anyway, so they agreed directly.
Zachary did not say anything as he signed the resignation approval.
'Lisa left F&M Apparel.'
Nicole had deliberately hyped up the news; she acknowledged it immediately once the turmoil started.
Zachary had initially also wanted to leave F&M Apparel as F&M Apparel was nothing to him without her. So, there was no need
for him to continue staying there.
Despite that, he was stopped by Nicole.

"You enjoy being in this industry. There's no need for you to give it up for anyone. Maybe I can cooperate with F&M Apparel
personally in the future, and I'd have to rely on you more then."
After he listened to her advice, he felt that what she said made sense. If he were to resign from F&M Apparel, he would no
longer be able to help her in the future.
As the news of Nicole's resignation from F&M Apparel blew up, the news that was released before started to show up as well.
Gardner Corporation and Pinnacle Group were fighting over Lisa's work.
Everyone began to think that she had resigned because she was poached by the two companies.
Now, because of Ann's great success, Nicole was still a star in the clothing industry, even without her title in F&M Apparel.
The Pinnacle Group was buzzing with excitement after the news of Lisa's departure, alongside all sorts of gossip, was released

on the internet. They were discussing the recruitment of Lisa as the Chief Designer of Pinnacle Group.
Naturally, this request was rejected by Olivia.
"Absolutely not! A woman with such a bad character can not be allowed to join the Pinnacle Group!"
Although the shareholders had long been dissatisfied with her strong opposition, Bradley Schumacher, Mason's biological father,
had long given his rights to Olivia. It was no use, even if they were unhappy.
Mason, who was usually quiet
during board meetings, suddenly
spoke up, "We know how high Lisa's
net worth is right now. So, if you think it's risky, I suggest that we use the Pinnacle Group's spot too participate in the Golden
Brush Award as an offer to collaborate
with Lisa once and see how the outcome will be."
Olivia shot him an angry glare as soon as he spoke, sneered, and said
sarcastically, "When did you get the rights to speak here?!"

Despite her demeaning words, his
expression remained indifferent, and he showed no signs of anger. Instead, he smiled gently in the face of her arrogance and
explained, "Although Lisa has resigned from F&M Apparel, she is still working with Gardner Corporation Gardner Apparel is
getting increasingly more popular by the day. If Lisa continues working with them, they will surpass Pinnacle Group within a year.
So, I'm suggesting that we strive and pull Lisa into the Pinnacle Group and allow her to be the Chief Designer of Pinnacle
Group."
Mason paused a moment before continuing, "But if President Gardner does not have his trust in Lisa, we can recommend her to
participate in the Golden Brush Award first. If Lisa successfully wins the award it's not too late for us to hire her."
