In the evening, after dinner, they returned to the bedroom.
Nina Sinclair eagerly waited for Julian Lancaster to finish his shower. She wanted to ask him if he knew anyone who could possibly be more influential than Master Skylar.
Julian Lancaster walked out of the bathroom with water still clinging to him. Recently, the relationship between Old Master Lancaster and him had improved greatly, and he had been given quite a bit of important work, so Julian had been rather busy lately and seldom had ti to spend with Nina.
Today was already considered an early day off work for him.
As he stepped out, Julian saw Nina sitting on the bed, looking at him with expectation.
Julian walked over, sat down, and asked, "What’s up? Do you have sothing to say to ? Or are you waiting to spend ti as husband and wife?"
After speaking, he tried to pin Nina onto the bed.
Nina lightly coughed, quickly pushing him away, "Stop ssing around. I actually have sothing important to tell you. This Saturday, I need to return to Crestfall for a visit to the Sinclair Family house. It’s my grandpa’s birthday."
Julian furrowed his brows slightly, thinking that Nina wanted him to accompany her, "I have an important eting this Saturday."
Nina imdiately said, "You’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t asking you to co with . It’s regarding my grandpa’s birthday gift..."
Then, Nina told Julian all about how Leah Sinclair ca looking for her today.
After explaining, she sighed in distress, "Ugh... I really don’t know who I would need to find in order to surpass this so-called Master Skylar. He has such a high status."
She reached out and hugged Julian’s arm, smiling, "You should know so capable people, right? Can you help out?"
She thought back to when she was in trouble previously, Julian always reassured her, saying he had ways to resolve it. She used to scoff, thinking as just a driver, what solutions he could offer.
Little did she know that Julian was the President of Zenith, and of course, he had plenty of solutions.
Julian gave a sly smile, helplessly saying, "Did such a small issue trouble you all day?"
Upon hearing Julian’s words, Nina was at a loss for words.
What do you an, "small issue"!
"Do you know about this Master Skylar? He’s very impressive!" Nina, afraid Julian was unaware, made sure to emphasize it.
"Yes, I know." Julian curved his lips into a smile and said, "Rest assured, I’ll prepare the gift for you. You just go and attend the birthday banquet with peace of mind."
Nina’s eyes lit up, and she excitedly leaned over to give him a kiss, "You’re the best!"
She knew that turning to Julian, he was bound to have a solution. Now, wasn’t everything easily resolved? Had she known there was such an easy shortcut with Julian, she wouldn’t have spent a whole day fretting.
Julian smiled, holding her waist gently, enjoying Nina’s proactive kisses. His eyes darkened as he pulled Nina close, quickly pinning her down, "Just a kiss? Isn’t that too simple?"
"Then what do you want?" Nina knew exactly what he intended but feigned ignorance.
"You’ll find out soon enough."
With that, Julian lowered his head.
The bedroom instantly filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
In the end, Nina was thoroughly claid by the man, unable to resist, and even had to cooperate to please him. After all, having a favor to ask of Julian ant yielding to him, even if he demanded everything from her.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before Old Master Sinclair’s birthday.
The maid had packed Nina’s things as she planned to take an earlier flight to Crestfall, so she could attend Old Master’s birthday banquet on ti the next day.
"Madam, your and President Lancaster’s luggage are all packed."
Upon hearing this, Nina showed a surprised expression, "Wait, weren’t you only supposed to pack my things? Why are Julian’s things packed too?"
The maid looked innocent, "President Lancaster instructed it."
Seeing her clueless expression, Nina recalled that it was Julian’s day off today. This morning, when she told Julian about her departure, he seed indifferent, making her feel sowhat disappointed, thinking Julian was neglecting her.
She never expected him to surprise her like this—it was just too much!
Nina couldn’t hold back anymore and imdiately turned around to go back to the room.
