Nora’s position was at a corner of the Finance Department, and her back was facing the door, so she could not see who came. She only heard the sounds of several colleagues behind her gasping, followed by the sound of them hurriedly pushing away their chairs and getting up. Someone finally exclaimed, “Hello, Mr. Maton!”The other employees in the Finance Department were also shocked as they turned to look at the man who had a serious expression as he came in from the door. Some employees even stood up respectfully to express their welcome.That man seemed to be born with the aura of an emperor. He received looks of admiration from the employees around him no matter where he went. After Nora came to Maton Group, she had learned from her colleagues that although Julian seemed very free and uninhibited, he was still very capable in leading Maton Group.He was resolute and decisive, and made wise decisions. Any project he took on was bound to be very profitable. In the past few years sin
When Nora saw his sinister smile, she hurriedly explained, “My mother is really ill. You can ask my brother about it if you don’t believe me. I think you know that my mother hasn’t been in a good mood lately.”Nora was referring to the situation where Rowan was back and had caused chaos for the Pierces. Julian ignored her. He was too angry to continue arguing with her, but he turned at the intersection ahead and headed directly to Ophelia’s apartment. Nora secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As it was the rush hour after work in the evening, the road was heavily congested. It seemed that there was an accident at the intersection ahead, causing the entire road to be congested. The two of them could only travel slowly in the congested traffic.When Nora saw that they had been stuck in traffic for nearly half an hour, she wondered how long it would take for them to get out of this congested road. She got a little impatient. It was fine for her as she could arrive at Ophelia’s place at a
Mrs. Maton replied to him in dissatisfaction, “I'm not very satisfied with her, but you are older now, and if there is a woman who likes you so wholeheartedly, you should stop being so picky. It doesn't matter whether I am satisfied as long as she can treat you well.”“There are so many women who love me wholeheartedly!” Julian emphasized righteously. What did she mean, he was too old? She made it sound as if he could not find a woman who wanted to marry him when in fact, he was not looking for a woman to marry. Mrs. Maton was urging him to get back together with his ex-girlfriend a few days ago, but she was now trying to set him up with Yvonne. Her stance had changed too quickly.He definitely would not understand the complex mentality of a mother who wanted her son to start a family, especially when she saw other people with their grandchildren running around. She could not wait for him to grab just any woman and get married.After saying this, he quickly changed the topic. “Is
She felt a little sad and a little aggrieved when she thought of this. He was the first and only man in her life, but she was among the most inconspicuous among his many women.It was unfair—it was really unfair. But what could she do? It was impossible for a man like him to settle down for her. Just look at how often he changed girlfriends. When Julian suddenly hugged Yvonne, Benjamin, who was behind him, was startled. His first reaction was to look at Nora, who was far away, fearfully. Nathan, who was relatively calm, wanted to step forward and separate his boss and Yvonne. After all, he knew that Julian was deliberately doing this to irritate Nora. Such behavior was too childish and risky. If Nora was agitated, she would think that he was a playboy and ignore him more. It would not be worth it at all. However, Julian’s original image was already that of a playboy. As for Julian and Yvonne, who were the parties involved, Julian was doing exactly what Nathan was thinking—he was
That unknown girl was the end of him.Nathan waited until Yvonne was tired of crying and venting, then he helped her get into the car before he took her home.This night was chaotic; it was so chaotic that Nathan, who had never been late for work in so many years, was late for work for the first time. He was half an hour late, and he was even wearing the same clothes he was wearing yesterday.Julian did not say anything, but Benjamin kept pestering Nathan for a long time and asked him what happened last night. Nathan never said a word, and Benjamin was so anxious that he almost jumped off the building.In the next few days, the employees of Maton Group were all discussing the scandal between Julian and Yvonne, and some people even pictured their wedding.Nora originally thought that Julian had a new girlfriend, so she could finally have peace. As a result, Julian stopped coming to look for her, but his name was constantly lingering in her ears all day long. Several colleagues arou
He always felt that she was still a little girl. Julian had to admit that Greg asking Nora to go on blind dates and what he was saying to her about marriage made Julian feel a little flustered. An inexplicable feeling of tension arose in his heart. After the break up, he had always believed that he was the perfect lover, and that no man could be compared to him.However, he had forgotten that there was a 10-year age difference between them. There were so many young, capable men in Detroit, and there were many outstanding men in every age group. If she kept to herself, he was indeed the most perfect among the limited people she knew, but if her parents intervened and helped to plan her marriage, she would have her choice among all the young bachelors in Detroit. It was Greg’s words that made Julian calm down a bit. She would eventually get married and have children, instead of always being the shy little girl who asked him to teach her how to be in a relationship.He felt even more
“Why are you here?”Julian sat down directly across from her and spoke up expressionlessly. “Benjamin went out on an errand. Just talk to me if you need anything.”Nora did not feel like talking to him at all. If she spoke to Benjamin about the same thing, it would feel like two friends helping each other, but if she spoke to Julian, she constantly felt as if something was not right. She pursed her lips and stopped talking. At the same time, she wondered why Julian was here when she had clearly made an appointment with Benjamin. Her head was spinning as she thought of ways to end this embarrassing meeting. She thought of saying that she was in a hurry to leave because she had something to do, so she smiled at him and said, “Mr. Julian—"As soon as her words fell, he interrupted her. “Benjamin mentioned that you wanted to sell your car.”Nora stopped talking. However, she had nothing to hide since he already knew everything, so she lowered her eyes and replied, “Yes, I want to sel
Regardless of whether Nora was the one who publicized this matter, Gina had no right to blame her. After all, she herself was a culprit as well. If she hadn’t told such lies, she wouldn't have ended up in such an embarrassing and awkward situation now.Furthermore, Julian believed that Nora was not the one who spread this rumor because he believed in her character. Gina was in pain, and she had a lost expression as she yelled angrily, “No one else knows about this but her! Who else could it be?!”Nora was initially sympathetic toward Gina after Julian kicked her to the ground, but when Gina continued insisting that she was the one who had spread the rumors about her, she suddenly lost all sympathy for Gina. She then declared her position righteously. “I’ll repeat myself: I didn’t spread any rumors about you. I can’t even be bothered to mention someone like you in my life, okay? It would only dirty my mouth!”This was the first time Nora had said such harsh words, but she was only
