Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time

Chapter 17

"As I said... Wait, w-what?" Queenie opened her eyes wide. "W-What do you mean, President Yates?"

Zachary walked to Nicole's side and defended her before every observing eye. "This Nicole lady, who's standing right beside me, is F&M Apparel's one and only Chief Designer, Miss Lisa!" As he voiced his words, silence filled the room. The sudden change of situation left those who were disparaging Nicole stunned.

Nicole is Lisa? But everyone said that Ms. Lisa from F&M Apparel is a woman in her forties! Queenie was in dismay. "That's impossible!"

"Do you think I'm lying to you, miss?" Zachary stared at her with a hostile gaze. Given his tactfulness, he could sense that the woman before him was highly antagonistic toward Nicole. Although Nicole rejected him, he was still in love with her, and he would not allow anyone to condescend her!

Queenie's body trembled as her eyes reddened. Yet, unable to express her frustration, she clenched her fists tightly. She was thoroughly disconcerted.
