Mrs. Sherman, Ethan Sherman’s mother, is Nina Sinclair’s aunt. After her own mother, Madeline Sherman, had an accident, Mrs. Sherman constantly helped her out and treated her genuinely well, almost like a second mother.
Nina Sinclair was very respectful to her and didn’t hesitate at all when she heard Mrs. Sherman asked Ethan to bring sothing to her.
Soon, Ethan Sherman’s car appeared downstairs at Zenith.
Nina Sinclair walked over, and Ethan opened the car door and got out, handing a delicate little box to Nina Sinclair.
After taking it, Nina Sinclair opened it curiously.
Inside the box lay an uncut gemstone about three fingers wide.
Sunlight stread through the box, illuminating the gemstone, making it crystal clear, dazzling, and splendidly vibrant.
Ethan Sherman said, "My mom saw this at an auction a few days ago. She thought it looked very fitting for you, so she bought it and is giving it to you."
Such a precious item, there was no way Nina Sinclair could accept it casually.
She closed the lid and handed the box back to Ethan, saying, "No, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it, you should take it back."
"Don’t be so distant! It’s not sothing particularly valuable. If my mom finds out I didn’t give it to you, she’d probably skin alive. Co on, just accept it!"
"No, I really can’t take it."
Just then, Julian Lancaster was coming down with Felix Ford, Marcus Walsh, and others.
He imdiately noticed Nina Sinclair and Ethan Sherman jostling at the door. Julian recognized the bag in Nina’s hand as the clothing brand she had specifically sought him out to try on yesterday.
She’s trying to give the clothes to Ethan, but he’s refusing?
Truly ungrateful!
Julian Lancaster pressed his thin lips tightly and didn’t linger, he simply walked away.
Felix Ford and Marcus Walsh exchanged a glance, seeing regret in each other’s eyes.
Why did they have to make the mistake of inviting President Lancaster out for a al?
The reason was, they heard a nearby newly opened restaurant had great food, so they dragged Julian Lancaster to check it out and see if there was anything to learn for Lancaster Group’s dining establishnts.
They didn’t expect to stumble upon such a dramatic scene.
If only they’d known, they would have gone by themselves.
Nina Sinclair and Ethan Sherman hesitated for quite a while, but finally, she couldn’t resist his persuasion and accepted the gemstone.
She could take the gemstone, create a design, and give the finished product to her aunt.
The day passed quickly, and at the end of the workday, Julian Lancaster appeared on ti downstairs at the company to pick Nina Sinclair up.
Nina Sinclair eagerly headed downstairs.
Behind a glass window upstairs, Rebecca Lowell watched Nina’s figure, a look of disdain in her eyes.
eting one man at noon, another man in the evening.
Nina Sinclair is really a master of ti managent, like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower—is this her secret to getting into Zenith and becoming the design director?
The clothing bag was large and hard to hide. Nina opened the rear car door to put the items away, then returned to sit in the front passenger seat.
Julian Lancaster glanced at the several bags in the back, and snorted coldly in his heart.
Once she settled in her seat, Nina Sinclair carefully considered her words, then said, "The outfit you tried on yesterday, I bought it for you."
For him?
Wasn’t it just sothing that Ethan didn’t want, now tossed to him?
Nina Sinclair dared to think he knew nothing, treating him as a garbage bin for unwanted stuff?
Julian Lancaster kept his lips tightly pressed, starting the car without saying a word.
On the road, Nina Sinclair sharply sensed that sothing was off in the car’s atmosphere. She cautiously glanced at Julian Lancaster.
His profile was handso, yet slightly tense, clearly not happy.
Why was he not as pleased as she imagined when she gave him the gift? What went wrong? It seems she needs to ask Ethan Sherman about it.
