Don’t Blame Me
After it was revealed that Whitney was Lisa’s assistant designer, the matter was taken to be resolved.
Lexi had no choice but to suffer in silence.
She had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish her authority in the Design
Department, but she ended up shooting herself in her foot.
Feeling dejected, she returned to her seat and she could sense that everyone was gloating over her.
She truly embarrassed herself this time!
After a while, her phone notified her that she had received a message from Joanna. She lowered her
head and checked the message—Joanna had asked her to enter her room.
Lexi’s face was instantly filled with despair after she read the message. She assumed that Joanna was
about to teach her a lesson for offending Lisa’s assistant earlier.
Her head lowered when she thought about these. After a few moments of hesitation, she eventually
walked at a tortoise’s pace toward Joanna’s room.
When she entered the room, Joanna was leaning against her chair with her eyes closed. She only
opened them when she heard someone coming in.
Lexi immediately apologized, “Miss Schmidt, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have offended her.”
Joanna heaved a deep breath, stood up and walked toward Lexi. When she arrived in front of Lexi, she
said softly, “Lexi, don’t take what I said outside to heart. After all, Lisa is a guest of Gardner’s
Corporation, and I’ve to show her some respect.”
Lexi was stunned when she heard what Joanna said. She had thought that Joanna had asked her in to
teach her a lesson, but to her surprise, Joanna comforted her instead.
Her eyes welled up with tears at that moment. She immediately shook her head and replied, “No, Miss
Schmidt. It’s within your authority to do so.”
Joanna responded with a shake of her head and a pat on Lexi’s shoulders. After taking a look at Lexi,
she continued softly, “It’s not your fault. However, Gardner Corporation is now collaborating with F&M
Apparel, and because of this, I need to follow Lisa’s wishes. I hope that you understand my dilemma.”
Lexi was flattered. She never expected that Joanna would talk to her in this manner, and she was so
moved that she didn’t know what to say.
Regaining her senses, she nodded her head and responded, “I understand, Miss Schmidt. I’m sorry to
put you in such a difficult position.”
Noticing that Lexi was moved, Joanna curved her lips and smiled. “It’s nothing. You can take whichever
seat you want after Lisa has left.”
“That’s not necessary, Miss Schmidt. My seat now is good enough.” Lexi shook her head and
answered. She was well aware that this incident arose entirely out of her own egoistic feelings.
“After Lisa leaves, there will be no one else using the room in which she’s sitting now. You can move
there then,” Joanna said casually.
After being surprised by Joanna’s words, Lexi immediately turned and looked at Joanna with pursed
lips. It was only after a while that she managed to say a few words. “Miss Schmidt, I—”
“That’s it. You may leave now. I need to further modify my design sketch,” Joanna said gently.
Moved by what Joanna said, Lexi nodded her head and couldn’t say anything more. It turned out that
Joanna was always on her side!
On the other hand, Joanna’s eyes dimmed as she looked at Lexi exiting the room. She wanted to invite
Sabrina back to Gardner Corporation once Lisa had left, but given the previous ruckus Sabrina had
caused, she might never have that chance again. As such, Joanna had no choice but to train a new
employee.
Although Lexi had a high self-esteem, she was mindless and easy to control. People like her were the
easiest to manipulate. All Joanna had to do was simply provide her with some benefits and she would
do whatever that Joanna wanted her to.
There were things that were inappropriate for Joanna to do herself and she would gladly make use of
someone else.
She was proud of herself for thinking of these. Lowering her head, she looked at her revised design
sketch and took a deep breath.
The gowns of Wendy and Anna were now the most important thing. Alterations had been made, and
the design sketch could be sent to them the following day. Joanna was hoping that nothing would
happen during this time.
