Ever since that incident happened, Nina Sinclair started every day with a smile, feeling as if she were falling in love.
Julian Lancaster had been performing remarkably well these past couple of days, like a very qualified boyfriend.
He would reply to her ssages instantly and send her things in different ways every day.
Even the people at Elysian could tell she seed to be in a relationship; they were gossiping about her in private, but Nina didn’t care.
Today, another local delivery arrived.
Everyone curiously gathered around, chatting eagerly, wanting to see what goodies Nina received today.
This ti, it was afternoon tea, a large insulated box filled with various brands of desserts, ice creams, and other treats that girls love, perfectly hitting the mark, eliciting looks of envy from many.
Nina suspected that Julian must have had an expert advising him from behind the scenes.
Just coming up with sothing different to send her every day, things she never would have thought of, was not sothing an ordinary person could manage. Where did he get so many ideas?
Seeing there was so much, Nina generously handed them out, saying to the crowd, "I can’t finish these on my own, everyone, please help yourselves."
"Wow, Director Sinclair is so generous! Then we won’t be shy about it."
"Thank you, Director Sinclair, we’re lucky to share in this feast too."
Everyone eagerly divided up the treats, while Nina took a bottle of juice and went back to her seat.
That day at The Flavor Crucible, Rebecca Lowell had been severely embarrassed by Nina Sinclair, which deepened her resentnt. Now, seeing Nina show off so blatantly, her face darkened, almost grinding her teeth to dust.
A shadowy look flashed in her eyes.
She would let Nina enjoy her mont for a few more days; recently, she noticed President Lancaster was much more enthusiastic towards her, and they were chatting more frequently.
Once she snagged President Lancaster, she’d step over Nina!
After Nina returned to her seat, her assistant, Millie Langley, beca the target of everyone’s questions. Many were curiously dragging her around, wanting to know who was so lavishly pursuing Nina.
"Millie, hurry and tell us, who’s Director Sinclair’s admirer?"
"Yeah, satisfy our curiosity."
"Director Sinclair’s admirer is really mysterious. Sigh... why haven’t I encountered such an imaginative man?"
Listening to everyone’s chatter, Millie displayed a helpless expression, saying, "Oh my, I honestly don’t know, stop guessing wildly."
"Then go ask, aren’t you curious?" soone else goaded her.
If it were soone else, maybe Millie wouldn’t dare to ask, but Nina was different; she had a good temper. She probably wouldn’t get angry if she asked, right?
In the end, carrying everyone’s gossip-filled hearts, Millie quietly approached Nina’s workstation.
"Director Sinclair..." she smiled awkwardly.
Nina paused her work, looked up, and said, "Is there sothing you need?"
"They... they’re very curious about you, so they sent to ask. Is it okay to ask you these things?" Millie whispered uneasily.
Nina, in a good mood recently, didn’t mind what Millie said. She smiled and generously replied, "Go ahead and ask."
Millie’s eyes lit up and she asked eagerly, "Director Sinclair, I’ve noticed you’ve been in a great mood every day and seem to receive gifts, almost never repeating. Is soone pursuing you?"
Nina glanced at Millie and said, "You could put it that way."
Although it was for Julian Lancaster’s friend’s experint, finding out the fastest way to win over a girl, Nina just assud Julian was pursuing her. She was even imrsing herself in the role, not only enjoying it but also feeling a bit shy.
Millie exclaid and asked continuously, "Wow, really? What’s that man like? What does he do for a living? He must be handso and wealthy, right?"
