Julian hugged Nora before she could finish protesting. He then said in an extremely gentle voice, “Okay, don’t be angry anymore. It’s distressing to see a beautiful girl like you get angry. I was wrong. I will really respect your wishes in the future. Let’s go and eat quickly; otherwise, there will be more people in the cafeteria later.”Julian did not need a draft to say a bunch of sweet nothings. After he had coaxed her, Nora felt that she was really the one who was being unreasonable, so she obediently let him hold her hand as they went to the cafeteria together. As for Julian, he only thought that men should be able to give and take. He could compromise this time, but he would punish her properly when he had an opportunity to do so. If she made him angry some other day, he would let her coax him properly then.The two of them met many people along the way as they held hands. Every time they encountered someone, Nora’s first reaction was to raise her hand to pretend to straigh
Julian was speechless. ‘This lassie really knows how to push my buttons.’ When Nora saw his dark expression, she quickly ran away with the menu as she said, “I’m sorry! I was just concerned about your health.”Nora felt that she only had good intentions. After all, how could anyone drink so much water? He had chugged a whole jug of water. When Nora came back, she brought a big jug of water back with her and asked him to drink to his heart's desire.Julian did not know whether he should be mad at her or laugh at her. He was mad because she thought that there was something wrong with his body or that he was ill, but he also wanted to laugh because she was considerate and even prepared plenty of water for him when she saw that he kept drinking water. Julian thought that when it came to dating a young woman, once in a lifetime was enough. He also had to remind himself to never date someone younger in the future. He must find someone similar to his age so that there would be no ba
There was a strong hint of jealousy as soon as she spoke. Julian, who was behind Nora, had a slight frown. He glanced at Gina in the meantime. ‘This girl is really ugly. Her face looks mean and petty, and she does not have any temperament to speak of.’In fact, Gina was not ugly. On the contrary, she was a beauty and was considered one of the well-known beauties at Detroit University. Otherwise, she would not have been so proud and confident in front of Nora. Although Gina came from an ordinary family background, all of her pride stemmed from her beauty. However, a truly classy man with discerning taste would not only value a woman’s beauty. Although external beauty was important, a good personality was essential. However, Gina did not have a good character, so she was an extremely ugly existence to Julian. Nora glanced at Gina, smiled faintly at her as a courtesy, and intended to continue walking away, but Gina refused to let her go so easily. She noticed Julian, who was next
In the past few years, Gina had intentionally created many misunderstandings in order to cause these two people to hate Nora and isolate her, but she had always failed.Now that Julian had taught her a lesson, it did not even cross her mind that he would not have scolded her if she hadn’t been vicious first. After Julian and Nora left the cafeteria, Nora broke free from his arms and asked, “Why did you scold her so harshly?”Apart from him, there was no one else she knew who would scold a girl and call her trash directly. Julian shrugged, then leaned against a tall French plane tree behind him and replied lazily, “Why can’t I scold her if she deserves to be scolded?”Although Julian was a philanderer, the women he was interested in would still have some basic qualities and would never be as lowly as Gina was. Therefore, he had absolutely no sympathy for annoying women. There were villains like Gina everywhere in life, including in the business world, and he showed them no merc
Nora only had her thesis defense in her mind as she wanted to be able to graduate successfully. Furious, Julian snorted coldly. “Fine. We don’t have to meet up, then.”He was really pissed off. Nora blinked as she looked at him and asked, “Mr. Julian, are you angry?”He chuckled and said in anger, “Angry? Why would I be angry? It’s great if we don’t have to meet each other. In that case, I won’t have to waste my time and effort to teach you how to be in a relationship.”Julian only said these words in the heat of the moment to maintain his self-esteem and pride. He instantly felt guilty as soon as he said that because these words were quite hurtful after all. However, Nora showed no signs of being offended at all. Instead, she looked at him and said with a smile, “That’s great! I’m relieved that you’re not angry. I’ll get out of the car first, then. Goodbye.”She then got out of the car.Julian was furious and speechless. He was so annoyed that he simply stepped on the accel
As Julian’s secretary, Benjamin handled all of Julian’s tasks at the office every day. Benjamin was also in charge of scheduling his dates as well as sending flowers and gifts to his girlfriends in the past. He was the one who had been handling affairs regarding all of Julian’s girlfriends in the past. Julian was initially in a good mood, but when Benjamin mentioned dating, he remembered that Nora had asked to not meet him temporarily, and he suddenly felt very upset.Therefore, he directed all his anger at Benjamin. “Are you done with all your work? Mind your own business! Get out!”Benjamin eventually became a punching bag and was kicked out unceremoniously. This revelation allowed Benjamin to confirm that his boss had actually broken up. He wouldn't be in such a bad mood otherwise.Even though he was certain that his boss had dumped the lady, he still believed that since it was a breakup, his boss should be allowed to feel down.Julian and Ryan had dinner together at night.
It would be different if she joined Maton Group—she could hide her identity and be an ordinary employee.Besides, if she did not do well at Maton Group, others would only laugh at Julian, who brought her in, and not her brother. Julian had suggested for her to join his company, and she had agreed, so Ryan did not have any objections either. He only told her to work hard when she joined Maton Group, and Nora assured him. Ryan was still worried, so he emphasized at the last moment, “Don’t get involved with Julian too much aside from work matters after you join Maton Group. He’s not someone that you can afford to mess with!”Nora wanted to cry. She had already gotten involved with him, so what should she do?!When Ryan noticed that she did not reply to him, he raised his voice and asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”Nora laughed and said, “No, I was just digesting your advice.”“Okay, I’m going to hang up now. Good luck on your thesis.” Ryan hung up the phone after saying th
Yvonne tried to get some information out of Nathan on the way back. “Why was your boss in such a hurry just now?”Nathan could only laugh awkwardly as he replied, “As you can see just now, even I was completely unaware.”Nathan really did not know what was going on. He only saw a group of graduates. Yvonna could only change the topic and ask, “Has your boss gotten a girlfriend recently?”Nathan felt as if he was about to break down, but he could only pretend to be confused. “I’m not too sure about this.”Yvonne was dissatisfied as she complained, “You’re his personal secretary, but you don’t know this? Who will know about this, then?”Nathan explained innocently, “I’m sorry, but I’m the older brother, Nathan, and I’m Mr. Julian’s personal assistant. I’m responsible for the external work. My younger brother, Benjamin, knows more about aspects regarding Mr. Julian’s life.”When Nathan explained his identity, he wittily pushed the blame to Benjamin. After all, Benjamin was not p
