Nina Sinclair was having a hard ti holding it in.
Julian Lancaster simply didn’t have any money to give, and Joel Thatcher forcing him to pay up like this was undoubtedly making him lose face in public. She always protected her own and wouldn’t let Julian be put in a difficult position.
Although she had known Joel Thatcher for a long ti, now Julian was the man she would spend her life with, so of course, she had to side with her own man.
Nina Sinclair’s expression turned slightly stern, and she called out a bit unhappily, "Joel!"
She was just about to help Julian explain and pay with her own money when Julian suddenly smiled.
He looked at Sharon Lancaster and said unhurriedly, "Miss Lancaster, can I borrow so money from you? You can deduct it from my salary next month."
Sharon imdiately caught on and played along with him, "Of course! It’s just a little money, after all!"
After speaking, Sharon quickly took out her wallet, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Julian, saying generously, "Take it, feel free!"
"Thank you," Julian took it and glanced down at it; it was the card he had temporarily lent to Sharon.
He smiled lightly, so in the end, it was still his own money being used.
While the server was processing the card, Sharon glanced at Joel Thatcher and said loudly enough for him to hear, "Nina, you don’t need to pay back; consider it my treat."
She sneered and looked at Joel aningfully, "I’m not like so people who love to take advantage of others and still lack awareness!"
Nina Sinclair quickly declined, "Sharon, no need, I’ll pay you back when I get my salary."
"It’s okay, with our relationship, you don’t need to mind these things."
"Oh, you..."
Nina Sinclair and Sharon were politely pushing back and forth, while Joel Thatcher was nearly about to explode with anger.
He intended to expose Julian Lancaster’s true nature, but in Sharon’s words, it turned into him being the one who loves small gains!!
Nina Sinclair knew that wasn’t Joel’s intention. Although she did find Joel a bit odd, he usually wasn’t like this.
She quickly stepped in to say a few good words for Joel.
By this ti, the server had processed the card, recognizing its value, and respectfully returned it to Julian Lancaster.
After having their fill, the group left together.
Sharon Lancaster glanced at Julian Lancaster, her eyes flickering as if she thought of sothing. She turned to him and said, "Since we’ve t Nina, I’ll give you the rest of the day off. You don’t need to escort , I’ll go about my business, and you can accompany Nina."
With that, she waved goodbye and left swiftly, not giving anyone a chance to react.
Julian Lancaster’s expression remained calm. He looked at Nina Sinclair and softly asked, "Where are you heading next?"
"I’m going to spend so ti with my mom; I’m heading back to Veridia tomorrow."
"Alright, I’ll go see your mom with you."
At this point, Nina Sinclair rembered that Joel Thatcher was still behind them, "Joel, shouldn’t you be busy with work this afternoon?"
Julian Lancaster imdiately interrupted, "The Family Head of the Thatcher Family is very busy; he doesn’t have ti to hang around with you. Let’s not bother him, let’s go."
After saying this, Julian Lancaster wrapped his arm around Nina Sinclair’s shoulders and left.
Watching them leave, Joel Thatcher’s face darkened, and he couldn’t help but grit his teeth!
Who said he was busy?
If Nina Sinclair looked for him, he could drop everything for her, no problem!
Sharon Lancaster left together with Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster, but not before casting a sympathetic glance at Joel Thatcher.
Oh, you’re still too inexperienced.
