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
“He’s really trying hard to impress others by pretending to be rich. He’s only driving a car that costs 25,000; how could he afford to treat the whole group of us to all these?”Gina had a gloomy expression as she started to slander Nora and Julian after Nora had left the private room.One boy replied to Gina’s remark nonchalantly, “Do you think Nora would get an average guy with her family background?”Gina clenched her teeth in anger and looked away. After Nora had left the private room, a waiter came over to her and said with a smile, “Excuse me. Are you Miss Nora?”Nora nodded. The waiter then said to her respectfully, “Mr. Julian is already waiting for you. Please come with me.”Nora followed the waiter to another private room. She saw Julian sitting there alone after the door was opened. Julian was dressed formally because of his dinner with Yvonne tonight. He was wearing a pure black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie, and he looked extremely well-dressed. Nora though
At the end of the day, it was just wrong for him to hug another woman when he had a girlfriend, whether it was out of a desire to humiliate others or for some other purpose. She felt the same way too. Julian was helpless, and he finally apologized. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have hugged another woman, and I shouldn’t have acted ambiguously with another woman.” At the same time, he made her a promise. “I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again during the duration of our relationship.”Julian thought that their relationship would not last long anyway, so there was no harm in him giving her such a guarantee. Anyway, he was already accustomed to saying such sweet nothings.Nora was not the kind of person with an unreasonable and unforgiving character, so she would forgive a person if the person made a mistake and admitted it. She really felt that Julian was wrong. If Julian was not in a relationship with her, he could hug whomever and as many women as he wanted, and she
