Julian Lancaster walked over to Nina Sinclair, subsequently trapping her between the sink and his chest. He chuckled softly, speaking with deep aning, "Earlier, I said you should go first, and I’ll join you later."
"..." Nina Sinclair realized she was still too naive; she hadn’t understood it that way at all.
She couldn’t believe Julian Lancaster ant this.
However, now that she understood, it was too late, as if she had fallen into a trap like a little lamb.
Did this an they were going to take a shower together?
At the thought of this, her face reddened. Even though they had already been more intimate, she still couldn’t face him calmly now.
Unfortunately, she was now trapped against Julian Lancaster’s chest, enveloped in his clear, crisp scent, with no escape. Inhaling his scent, Nina Sinclair felt like she was becoming intoxicated.
Nina Sinclair lifted her head to et Julian Lancaster’s gaze, clearly seeing the burning fla in his eyes as if he wanted to consu her entirely.
"Lu... Lu..." Suddenly, she felt a bit nervous.
The last ti she was drugged, and her ti with Julian Lancaster had injured her. Recently, she had sowhat recovered, but there’s still a shadow in her heart.
But soon, under Julian Lancaster’s assertive advance, she surrendered and he conquered all her defenses.
The next day, Nina Sinclair got up rubbing her waist, unable to resist inwardly cursing a certain man.
Just as she was feeling discontented, Julian Lancaster pushed open the door and entered.
Nina Sinclair snorted softly, not really wanting to engage with him.
Julian Lancaster approached and sat by the bed, asking gently, "Breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat first, or freshen up?"
Knowing he was trying to atone for his actions by getting up earlier than her to prepare breakfast, Nina Sinclair’s initial discontent faded, as did the bit of resentnt in her heart.
Seeing Nina Sinclair getting up slowly, Julian Lancaster asked, "Do you want to carry you?"
"No need."
Nina Sinclair felt she wasn’t that weak. She could endure.
Julian Lancaster didn’t force the issue when he saw her refusal.
...
After breakfast, the two went out to work.
Upon arriving at Elysian, Millie Langley imdiately approached to report the latest information. She said, "Manager Sinclair, I went to see Nia’s people just now and told them we agreed to the dinner gathering this weekend."
Only then did Nina Sinclair rember the situation between Rebecca Lowell and President Lancaster.
She curled her lips into a aningful smile, waiting to watch Rebecca Lowell sabotage herself this weekend.
However, before the weekend arrived, a rumor about Nina Sinclair suddenly spread within Zenith.
Millie Langley directly gossiped, "Manager Sinclair, did you once work at Sinclair Group?"
"How did you find out?" Nina Sinclair looked at her with confusion.
"It’s being talked about in the company’s internal group," Millie Langley noted. "No wonder Rebecca Lowell doesn’t get along with you. She also ca from Sinclair Group; you were colleagues before!"
Soone in the company’s internal group exposed her past?
Nina Sinclair frowned slightly.
She wasn’t part of the company’s big internal group, so she didn’t know about this. "Let see your phone."
Millie Langley imdiately handed her phone to Nina Sinclair, who scanned the chat logs. An unfamiliar person had shared her previous position at Sinclair Group, but not much more.
Currently, many in the group were discussing it, surprised at Nina Sinclair’s past.
Nina Sinclair furrowed her brow slightly.
Her past in Crestfall, except for her title as the Sinclair family’s daughter, wasn’t exactly a well-hidden secret. It was bound to be discovered eventually.
Yet... thinking of sothing, her expression turned a bit heavier, with a hint of concern in her eyes.
The matters from back then were mostly settled. There shouldn’t be any further trouble.
With that thought, Nina Sinclair ceased worrying about it.
