Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Did You Really Think I Let Her Go?

"Director Sinclair..." Although Millie Langley was relieved she didn’t have to resign, she was still worried that Nina Sinclair wouldn’t be able to resolve the issue, and she would end up being implicated.

Nina Sinclair gave her a reassuring look, "Don’t worry."

Then, she took Rebecca Lowell’s design draft.

Seeing that there was nothing more to see, everyone dispersed, except for Yvonne Crowe, who stood there unwillingly, her eyes dark with dissatisfaction.

Yvonne had thought she could gain some advantage, but unexpectedly Nina Sinclair managed to muddle through, leaving her with a feeling of discontent.

What a pity!

She leaned toward Rebecca Lowell and whispered, "Rebecca, how could you let Nina Sinclair off so easily? If you’d pushed her to resign just now, I could’ve become the director and helped you."

Yvonne’s words sounded nice, but in reality, it was for her own benefit to become the design director.

Rebecca Lowell let out a light snort and said, "Do you really think I let her off?"

Yvonne showed a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

Rebecca Lowell smiled mysteriously, without revealing her intentions to Yvonne, leaving Yvonne itching with curiosity. However, she knew that as long as she continued to curry favor with Rebecca Lowell, she would gain more benefits in the future.

Yvonne hurriedly flattered, "Rebecca, if you ever need anything from me, I’ll do my best to help."

Rebecca Lowell certainly knew Yvonne was trying to gain benefits from her. Whether or not she would give her any benefits, she relished in the servility showered upon her.

"Alright, since you’re so perceptive, I won’t forget your benefits."


Yvonne’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Thank you, Rebecca!"

After Nina Sinclair returned to her desk, she spread out the design draft. Although it was stained with coffee, the base draft was still clearly visible and only required minor touch-ups and redrawing, which was not difficult for her.

"Director Sinclair, can this be restored?" Millie Langley asked anxiously from the side.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Millie Langley’s tense brows finally relaxed, showing a relieved expression, "Great, if it can be restored, then I won’t be dismissed."

Hearing Millie’s words, Nina Sinclair smiled, "Rest assured, this isn’t a big deal, not enough for a resignation."

"Director Sinclair, you’re so kind, thank you!"

Moved, Millie Langley looked at Nina Sinclair with teary eyes, filled with heartfelt gratitude.

Nina Sinclair sighed softly and said, "This matter has passed for now, but things may not be peaceful in the future. Millie, you need to be careful not to let them find any leverage against you, and... forgive me for the inconvenience."

Although this issue was stirred up by Millie Langley, the real reason she was targeted was because she was Nina Sinclair’s assistant.

Hearing Nina Sinclair apologize to her, Millie Langley quickly waved her hands in a panic.

"Director Sinclair, I feel no grievance. I am your assistant, and these are things I should bear. It was my lack of caution, and I will be more careful in the future."

Nina Sinclair heard this and curled her lips slightly.


It seemed Millie Langley was a sensible young woman who didn’t resent being implicated.

"Alright, let’s work together to restore the draft."

"Okay!"

Suddenly, Nina Sinclair remembered something, her expression becoming slightly serious.

She said to Millie Langley, "By the way, starting today, record videos of me restoring the draft every day and post them online, without missing a single day."

"Huh? Why? These design drafts haven’t been officially released; it’s not good to make them public like this, right?" Millie Langley asked, full of doubts.

"Then post them on your private account, where no one will see them."

Nina Sinclair was not doing this intentionally; her past experiences forced her to be cautious, afraid of falling into any traps again.

"Alright, I do have a private account with no followers, just a place for me to vent and rant."

"Okay, let’s start."

Afterwards, the two of them began to restore Rebecca Lowell’s draft. The earlier incident quickly dissipated without leChapter 375: I Need to Think It Over

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: I Need to Think It Over

President of Zenith’s office.

Marcus Walsh stood respectfully in front of Julian Lancaster, reporting, "President Lancaster, it seems like Vincent Lancaster has been looking into your affairs recently."

Julian Lancaster paused his work and looked up at him.

"We found out that Vincent has been secretly offering a high price to buy your candid photos, but the reporters destroyed those photos long ago, and even if anyone kept them, no one dares to sell them to him."

Julian had always dismissed this inept nephew and wasn’t worried about Nina Sinclair going back to Vincent.

He snorted lightly, "Don’t bother with him."

Right now, Julian was thinking about another matter.

Sierra Sinclair had already resigned, and now the newly established jewelry department, Elysian, needed a leader. He wanted to appoint Nina Sinclair.

But his current status didn’t allow him to do it directly.

The best way was for Nina Sinclair to naturally take the position and gain everyone’s support.

He looked up at Marcus and instructed, "Elysian is currently lacking a leader. Spread the word and select someone from among all the employees at Elysian."

Marcus knew that Julian wanted to manipulate the situation from behind the scenes.

Although it was said to select from all employees, it essentially meant letting Nina Sinclair stand out and become the leader of Elysian.

He nodded immediately and said, "Yes."


After speaking, Marcus turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Julian called him back, "Marcus, wait a moment."

Marcus stopped and turned around, "President Lancaster, do you have any other instructions?"

Julian paused and asked, "I heard you’ve started dating?"

"Uh..." Marcus was a bit surprised that Julian would be interested in his personal affairs.

Recently, his relationship with Rebecca Lowell had progressed quickly. They confirmed their relationship just a couple of days ago, and he had told Walter Wyatt about it this morning. He didn’t expect that President Lancaster already knew, likely thanks to Walter’s big mouth!

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Marcus’s face as he said in a low voice, "Yes, I’ve just started dating someone, she’s also from our company, but don’t worry, President Lancaster, I won’t let it affect my work!"

Even though Zenith didn’t have rules against office romances, Marcus was still a bit nervous.

Julian initially wanted to remind Marcus to be mindful of the implications since Marcus represented him, but he thought it unnecessary and decided not to say anything.

He said, "Okay, go ahead."

Marcus breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the office.

...

The office fell silent once more.

Julian Lancaster’s brows furrowed tightly as he recalled the events of last night, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.


It was clear that Nina Sinclair was very resistant to him, keeping her heart closed, and as long as she refused to open up, they would remain stuck like this.

This wasn’t a solution, but he had no better ideas.

Ding—

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

Julian glanced down; it was a message from Sharon Lancaster.

Sharon: "Bro, what are you up to?"

"Need money?" Julian slowly typed his reply.

After a short wait, Sharon called him directly.

Julian swiped to answer, and before he could say anything, Sharon blurted out, "Bro! What do you mean by that? Who are you trying to insult with money? Can’t I, as your sister, just be concerned about you?"

"Hmm, I was originally thinking of letting you usChapter 376: Of Course, Get Closer to Her

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Of Course, Get Closer to Her

Normally, Julian is always generous with Sharon, never refusing her requests.

He whispered, "I’ll have Marcus give you the card."

After benefiting from him, Sharon felt she should do something for Julian.

She said, "Brother, is there anything you need me to do recently? I’ll definitely do my best to help!"

Julian’s eyes darkened slightly, somewhat troubled as he said, "Nina is a bit resistant to me now."

Although it was hard to speak about, he felt there was no need to hide it in front of Sharon.

Sharon exclaimed, "Oh? How long has this been going on?"

"Since the last time at Goldenleaf Manor."

"Ah... could it be that your extraordinary talents scare Nina? After all, for a girl, if her first impression is not good, it can indeed leave a psychological shadow."

Besides this reason, there seemed to be no other explanation.

Julian, hearing this, had a look of regret in his eyes, unclear if he had hurt Nina.

"Actually, it’s not unsolvable!" Sharon said with a serious tone, "Since Nina has a psychological shadow, you just have to dispel it!"

"How to dispel it?"

"Of course, by getting closer to her! Once she gets used to it, she won’t resist you anymore!" Although Sharon had little experience in love, she could rattle off dating tips thanks to her extensive reading of romance novels.


She had seen every trick in romancing a girl.

Now giving advice to Julian, she spoke with great confidence.

Julian felt that what she said made sense, and his doubts were immediately resolved.

...

The news that Elysian was holding elections for a new leader quickly spread throughout the department.

Many, upon hearing this, were excited and thrilled.

The announcement mentioned selecting from Elysian’s staff, with no specific qualifications required. Does that mean anyone can register to run?

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Many were eager to try.

Rebecca was also very happy. She had just tentatively complained to President Lancaster about the chaos in Elysian without leadership.

President Lancaster assured her that it would soon change.

She didn’t expect it to be like this!

By selecting a leader so broadly, it seems he wanted to avoid any talk about favoritism.


Rebecca smirked slightly, feeling sweetly pleased, thinking President Lancaster was really good to her!

She glanced at the faces around her, full of keen discussions, and chuckled inwardly: These people are daydreaming if they think just by participating, they’ll get selected?

They’re just going along for the ride and are overjoyed, it’s laughable!
