Chloe lowered her head in shame, not daring to meet his eyes.
"I was in a traffic jam on the way.That was why I was late."
Jared did not believe her excuses at all, nor did he want to argue with her.He just focused on what
mattered.
"You don't have to come here again, as we have decided not to use you for the new product
endorsement this time."
"Mr.Johnston, did I do something wrong?" Chloe looked at Jared with confusion.
"It's not your problem.This new product and your temperament don't match," Jared said.
Chloe's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Nicole, who had makeup on her face.
Combined with what the director said just now, she had guessed the reason: it must be Nicole who
stole her endorsement.
'I have not had time to settle the score with her for the last incident, and now she is trying to steal the
endorsement from me.She really takes me for a fool?"
Chloe gave Nicole a displeased look.
''I didn't know that you were here, too." Nicole said nothing but just nodded.
Seeing Nicole said not a word, Chloe was embarrassed but quickly found a way out of it.
"I think Mr.Johnston is right.This new product really doesn't match my aura, and it is also a bit of a
clash with my time slot.But I still hope Mr.Johnston's new product will be a big seller.I will leave you to it
then, as there are other things waiting for me to get over there." Chloe looked at Jared and said
goodbye.
"Kelly, stay here.You don't have to follow me anymore."
Chloe looked at Kelly, who was the assistant assigned to her by Johnston Group.
"Come here, Kelly."
Nicole beckoned Kelly to her side.Kelly left Chloe and went to Nicole.
Chloe had asked Kelly to stay, but seeing Kelly go with Nicole was still upsetting.
"You will follow me from now on," Nicole said before Chloe could walk out.
"Okay."
Kelly was a bit confused, as she thought she was going to be promoted instead of remaining as an
assistant.
But judging by Nicole's relationship with Jared, she suddenly felt that following Nicole might be even
more rewarding than being promoted to a minor position.
"Since the results are good, Miss Riddle will be the product spokesperson for the new product," Jared
told the director.
The director nodded his head vigorously in acknowledgment.Her identity aside, Nicole's outstanding
performance had already earned his approval.
"Let's go back and rest," Jared said to Nicole.
"Okay."
"Kelly, you are given the day off.Go home and get some rest," Nicole turned around and said to Kelly.
"Thank you, Miss Riddle."
"You can call me Nicole from now on."
"Okay, Nicole."
Nicole and Jared left the shooting scene.
"Mr.Johnston, your uncle is waiting for you in the office." Max walked over and reported.
‘Why did he not stay at the branch and come to the headquarters instead?" Jared thought as he
walked.
The office door was pushed open as Jared and Nicole walked in.Henry got up at once to say hello.
"Jared, Miss Riddle is here too?" Henry looked at them with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Henry, what's the matter with coming over here today again?"
Jared sat back in his chair and looked at him indifferently.Henry came to Jared's desk, his face slightly
grave.
"You know about the project that the branch is doing now, right?"
"Yeah.Why?"
Jared watched as Henry put on his show.Henry sighed and looked at Jared helplessly.
"The international price of raw materials has doubled again.We could barely purchase it last time.And
now, we are quite overwhelmed by the increase.If the price continues to rise, soon we won't be able to
purchase.If that really happens, I hope the headquarters can provide us some support."
Jared looked at Henry and understood the intention of his visit, which was to pre-empt his support.
"The prices now are soaring high." Jared did not dismiss him outright.
