Recently, work at Zenith has been piling up, and Julian Lancaster is getting busy.
Every day there’s a never-ending stream of etings, plus the complicated matters over in Crestfall, so Julian Lancaster doesn’t have ti to act as Nina Sinclair’s chauffeur anymore.
Before getting off work today, Nina Sinclair received a ssage from Julian Lancaster, saying he needs to work overti tonight and has already asked Felix Ford to take her ho.
Although Nina Sinclair is familiar with Felix Ford, she still finds it a bit strange to have another man take her ho. She quickly declined, saying she’d take a cab instead, and that she’d also stop by to buy groceries on the way. Julian didn’t press further.
As Nina Sinclair left work, she walked to the roadside, ready to call for a ride-share with her phone, only to have a car stop right in front of her.
The window rolled down slowly, revealing the handso face of the man in the driver’s seat.
"Ethan?" Nina Sinclair was surprised.
Hadn’t he gone back to Crestfall? How did he suddenly appear in Veridia? And was waiting for her right outside the company.
Ethan Sherman mocked, "You finally got off work. I’ve been waiting for you for an hour! Get in the car."
Nina Sinclair opened the door and got in, and soon the car drove off.
In the car, Nina Sinclair asked Ethan Sherman why he ca over.
Upon hearing this, Ethan Sherman rolled his eyes and huffed, "My mom told to help you more, so she sent on a business trip to Veridia."
Actually, it’s to discuss business cooperation with Julian Lancaster.
Since Ethan Sherman hasn’t fully taken over the Sherman Family business yet, the Sherman Group is mostly managed by his father, and he’s assisting and learning alongside him. His father should be handling this matter.
But Ethan’s mother, because of Nina Sinclair, sent Ethan here to Veridia instead. He could only miserably co to find Nina Sinclair, but misjudged the timing and waited for an hour in vain at Zenith’s entrance.
After hearing this, Nina Sinclair nodded repeatedly and laughed, "Aunt is really wonderful. She’s been a great help to all along. I should really thank her properly when I get the chance."
"Alright then, she’ll be at peace as long as you’re doing well."
Speaking of this, Ethan Sherman’s eyes shifted, and he asked, "By the way, how are things between you and Julian? Didn’t you say last ti you wanted to pursue him? Have you managed to catch him?"
"No." Nina Sinclair shook her head.
Ethan Sherman showed a disdainful expression and sneered, "How co you’re so inept? Can’t even chase after a guy?"
Nina Sinclair snorted back, "Like you should talk! Last ti Shi Yi was mad at you, did you manage to appease her? Wasn’t it because of my help that you two reconciled? So ’capable,’ why couldn’t you fix it yourself?"
Exposed by Nina Sinclair about past embarrassing events, Ethan Sherman didn’t boast anymore.
He said, "Let’s go have dinner, and you can invite Julian Lancaster along."
Ethan Sherman thought in his heart, by pleasing Julian Lancaster before discussing cooperation, maybe the contract negotiation would go smoother.
Unexpectedly, Nina Sinclair shook her head and said, "He’s working late and can’t make it, let’s just go."
Hearing that Julian couldn’t co, Ethan Sherman showed a lack of enthusiasm on his face.
Looks like the chance to cozy up to my cousin-in-law was missed.
Suddenly, Ethan Sherman thought of sothing and asked, "Didn’t you say last ti you moved into the Royal Vista Estates? That developnt is quite famous, I’m curious about it, let check it out."
He also wants to buy property in Veridia, naturally first considering the top-tier developnt Royal Vista Estates, co-developed by Lancaster Group and Quinn Group. But was told he’s not eligible to buy, making him itch with curiosity.
Might as well take a look to see how good it is, and if it’s impressive, wait until Nina Sinclair gets things sorted with Julian, then he might try to cozy up to his cousin-in-law to pull so strings.
Nina Sinclair didn’t refuse and nodded, "Alright, let’s just have sothing simple to eat at ho, no need to eat out."
With that said, she asked Ethan Sherman to drive to the market for groceries.
Ethan Sherman could only resign himself to the duty of being a diligent chauffeur.
Unbeknownst to them, ever since Nina Sinclair got in the car, a low-profile vehicle has been silently following them.
