Flirting Mistake: I Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Overnight

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!

Busy repairing a draft, Nina didn’t know about this.

It was Millie, curious about the noise from outside, who went out to investigate and returned excitedly with the great news.

"Director Sinclair, Elysian is selecting a leader!!" Millie said, beaming with excitement, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you become the leader, you won’t have to fear them anymore."

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: President Lancaster Wants to Help His Girlfriend Rise to Power

Millie Langley’s excitement gradually cooled down. She looked at Nina Sinclair, and asked in surprise, "What’s wrong? Don’t you want to be a leader?"

Nina Sinclair gathered her thoughts and put on a faint smile.

"No, I just need to think about it."

Upon hearing this, Millie Langley was a bit curious. Most people would be eager to take up such an opportunity immediately, yet Nina Sinclair said she needed to think it over. What was there to consider?

Nina Sinclair didn’t say much more, just continued her restoration work earnestly.

But during the breaks, she couldn’t help but think of her past at the Sinclair Group. Back then, she entered the Sinclair Group and held a leadership position.

However, not long after, an incident occurred that caused half a year’s effort of the whole group to go to waste.

Although the issue was resolved in time, it left a significant impact on her, so hearing about being a leader again didn’t excite her as it might others.

After work, Nina Sinclair received a message from Julian Lancaster saying he would pick her up.

She had just walked downstairs when she saw his car appear before her.

Nina Sinclair opened the car door and got in.

"How was work today?" Julian Lancaster asked casually.

Nina Sinclair recalled the minor issues that had come up, feeling a faint headache again. Rebecca Lowell’s draft might take about three days to restore, and only then would this matter be concluded.

"There were some minor surprises, but it’s okay, I can handle it."


She didn’t want to worry Julian Lancaster, so she downplayed it.

But she then thought about the leadership election in Elysian, so she added, "Also, Sierra Sinclair has been dismissed, and now Elysian is leaderless. The senior management has given a notice saying they’ll choose a leader from among us..."

After pausing for a moment, Nina sighed helplessly, "I feel like President Lancaster is probably trying to promote his girlfriend."

Julian Lancaster: "..."

If he didn’t know that Nina was unaware of his identity, he might have thought that she already knew what he was secretly doing to elevate her.

But in Nina’s eyes, President Lancaster was actually Marcus Walsh.

Plus, Marcus Walsh had just started dating, and the woman he was seeing seemed to be a designer from Elysian.

No wonder Nina would think this way.

Julian Lancaster cleared his throat uneasily and said, "President Lancaster did make that decision, but I believe he’s a fair and just person who wouldn’t engage in favoritism."

He secretly praised himself a bit.

Nina Sinclair, however, was unconvinced. She said, "You never know, people always support their girlfriends, right? My assistant asked me today if I wanted to participate, and I’m still hesitating."

Apart from the impact of the past incident, she was also afraid that this was a selection process set up by President Lancaster for Rebecca Lowell, and all other participants were just foils. If that’s the case, she didn’t want to waste her efforts participating.

Before Nina Sinclair could say anything more, Julian Lancaster said, "You should participate."Chapter 378: Deciding to Sign Up

Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Deciding to Sign Up

"But..." Nina Sinclair hesitated.

She was worried she might not be able to lead the team properly, and feared that any mistakes she made could affect her team members.

Unexpectedly, Julian Lancaster continued, "Managers at Zenith have the qualification to purchase property at Royal Vista Estates, and they get a ten percent discount."

Nina Sinclair stared in shock.

What!?

The qualification to purchase at Royal Vista Estates, and with a ten percent discount?

Is this for real? She never imagined the leadership benefits at Zenith would be so great, considering Royal Vista Estates is one of Veridia’s most sought-after developments. Even if ordinary people have money, lacking status means they might not be able to buy a place there!

She was tempted!

Nina Sinclair had always wanted to buy a property at Royal Vista Estates, as it’s filled with memories of her and Julian Lancaster.

Even though she was uncertain about her and Julian Lancaster’s future.

But she secretly wished to own the place where they had shared their lives.

Julian Lancaster coolly glanced at Nina Sinclair, aware of her little penchant; she had once told him she really liked Royal Vista Estates. However, now that he’s just a driver and assistant, he couldn’t directly gift her a property.

On the surface, letting her make an effort while secretly gifting it later seemed like a good idea.

Seeing Nina Sinclair’s expression change repeatedly, Julian Lancaster knew she had agreed.


Sure enough, Nina Sinclair made up her mind without further hesitation, "I’ve decided! I’m going to register!"

Julian Lancaster’s lips curved slightly, "Alright, go for it."

They went grocery shopping at the market along the way, and once back at Royal Vista Estates, Nina Sinclair got busy in the kitchen.

Nina Sinclair was responsible for the main tasks, while Julian Lancaster assisted her, their teamwork was seamless.

She turned and glanced at Julian Lancaster. His long, slender fingers were skillfully mixing the eggs with chopsticks, his movements practiced and agile.

The incandescent light cast shadows from above, highlighting his handsome and charming features.

Nina Sinclair couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, captivated.

He wasn’t making mistakes like he used to, which was why they could cooperate so perfectly. It seemed she had transformed this man well; it would be such a shame to pass him onto another woman.

Julian Lancaster noticed Nina Sinclair staring at him with a look of admiration and felt extremely pleased.

So she did have feelings for him, she was only avoiding him due to psychological shadows he’d cast?

Recalling Sharon Lancaster’s words, perhaps he ought to give it a try.

Julian Lancaster put down the bowl in his hand and walked over to Nina Sinclair.

Nina Sinclair’s heart raced as Julian Lancaster approached, unsure of his intentions, and when he was suddenly very close, she realized their posture was too intimate.


Her lower back pressed against the counter, leaving no room for retreat, feeling enveloped in his embrace.

"Lu... Julian, what are you trying to do?"

Julian Lancaster lowered his eyes, gazing at her delicate face, "To help you get used to me, I need to be around you more."

Nina Sinclair heard these words, and her heart skipped a beat.

She was greatly accustomed to Julian LancasterChapter 379: Don’t Resist Me

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Don’t Resist Me

"Nina, don’t resist me."

Hearing Julian Lancaster’s words, Nina Sinclair inexplicably felt guilty.

She really didn’t do it on purpose, but because fear and worry gathered together, causing panic inside her, she instinctively rejected his approach.

Julian Lancaster seemed determined to get close to Nina Sinclair, to make her adapt to his presence quickly, and he gently lifted Nina Sinclair’s chin.

Then, slowly covered her soft lips.

Nina Sinclair’s body was resistant, but her heart longed for his closeness. With such conflicting feelings, she allowed the man to kiss her deeper.

Perceiving Nina Sinclair gradually relaxing, Julian Lancaster couldn’t help but get closer to her.

The successive kisses made Nina Sinclair’s whole body go soft, and she could only collapse in his arms.

A moment later, Julian Lancaster released Nina Sinclair.

Because of shortness of breath, her cheeks were flushed red, making her look as tempting as a peach, which made Julian Lancaster want to kiss her again.

But Nina Sinclair detected his intention and reached out to block his chest.

"Julian... let’s eat."

If this goes on, they won’t be able to hide it anymore.

Julian Lancaster replied hoarsely, "Okay."


Freed, Nina Sinclair avoided him, embarrassed, and started busying herself with cooking, silently wanting to cry without tears.

Why does it feel so difficult, moving in together?

She needs to hurry and investigate Goldenleaf Manor!

During dinner, Nina Sinclair felt uneasy, which Julian Lancaster naturally noticed. After they finished eating, he said, "Nina, shall we have a good talk?"

Nina Sinclair was briefly stunned.

She felt Julian Lancaster was going to be upfront with her. Was her behavior too obvious? Normal men have needs, she can’t keep going on like this.

She gently closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

Forget it, she decided to tell him everything. She was throwing caution to the wind!

The two sat on the sofa, Nina Sinclair hung her head low, looking particularly downcast.

She thought about where to start...

"Julian, that day I..."

Before Nina Sinclair finished speaking, a bank card was handed to her.

Her words came to an abrupt stop.


"What’s this?"

"A bank card."

"I know, what are you giving me a bank card for?"

Julian Lancaster smiled and said, "I know you want to buy a house. This is my salary card; I’ll leave it to you from now on."

He had already set up monthly deposits into the card, equivalent to Felix Ford, Marcus Walsh, and others’ salaries.

Nina Sinclair was surprised, opened her mouth in disbelief, thinking Julian Lancaster wanted to talk about... giving her household money?!

My goodness! His interruption made the courage rising in her heart disappear instantly.

Now she felt she couldn’t speak further.

Julian Lancaster said, "My salary isn’t very high, but apart from the regular salary, there’s extra bonuses and benefits. It should be decent."

"Uh..." Nina Sinclair was somewhat bewildered; she spoke softly, "You don’t have to give me the entire card. You should deduct your expenses first and then transfer the rest to me."

"No need, Zenith covers meals. I don’t have many personal expenses."

Nina Sinclair was speechless, struggling not to cry. Where could one find such a perfect man!

He’s simply a walking ATM, submitting all he earns, which is truly touching.


After speaking, Julian Lancaster stood up, "You’ve worked hard cooking. Take a good rest; I’ll go wash the dishes."

After he said this, he walked towards the kitchenChapter 380: Signing Up for the Election

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Signing Up for the Election

In the kitchen, Julian Lancaster lightly smirked.

He was just testing her earlier.

The result left him very satisfied.

Even though Nina Sinclair seemed somewhat resistant, she didn’t actually reject him; maybe it’s just a psychological shadow that she will eventually get over.

He believed that over time, she would gradually begin to accept him again.

At night, they were getting ready for bed.

After the little episode during cooking, Nina Sinclair really felt uneasy, worried that Julian Lancaster might act unpredictably.

She hesitated in the bathroom for a long time and finally couldn’t stay in there any longer, so she opened the bathroom door and went out.

Julian Lancaster was lying in bed reading, with only the bedside lamp on.

When he saw Nina Sinclair come out, he closed the book and looked over at her.

Nina Sinclair immediately froze like a cat with its neck gripped, not daring to move.

Seemingly aware of her reluctance, Julian Lancaster gently said, "Why are you standing there? Come here."

"Oh..."

Nina Sinclair continued nervously, walking over cautiously and lying down beside him.


Suddenly, Julian Lancaster reached out his hand, and she immediately clutched the blanket tightly, holding her breath, feeling very tense.

Unexpectedly, he just turned off the light, then patted her head gently and whispered, "Good night, sleep well."

Goodness, she thought Julian Lancaster was going to do something.

It scared her half to death.

Nina Sinclair gradually relaxed, and as her muscles loosened, sleepiness overcame her, and she slowly drifted off.
