Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Did You Really Think | 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 sadvantage, 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, | could've becthe director and helped you."

Yvonne's words sounded nice, but in reality, it was for her own benefit to becthe 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, | 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.

"es."

Upon hearing this, Millie Langley’s tense brows finally relaxed, showing a relieved expression, "Great, if it can be

restored, then | 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... forgivefor 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, | feel no grievance. | am your assistant, and these are things | should bear. It was my lack of

caution, and | 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 ofrestoring 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, | do have a private account with no followers, just a place forto vent and rant."

"Okay, let's start."

Afterwards, the two of them began to restore Rebecca Lowell's draft. The earlier incident quickly dissipated

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, | 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, | 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 needto 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 tonow."

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 tat 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 .

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-lifetopportunity!

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-

lifetopportunity. If you becthe 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, | 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 cup, 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 sminor surprises, but it's okay, | 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 | 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 askedtoday if | 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 handsand 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 shto 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, | need to be around

you more."

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

She was greatly accustomed to Julian Lancaster's presence; her previous resistance was just fear of him finding

out about her past.

Julian Lancaster reached out and rested his hand on Nina Sinclair's shoulder, causing her body to tense. She

wanted to flee, but right now, where could she go?

"We... the vegetables will burn..." she mumbled incoherently.

Julian Lancaster chuckled, "You haven't even turned on the stove."

Nina Sinclair: "..."

"What?" Nina looked at him in surprise and asked, "You wantto run for the leadership?"

She didn’t expect Julian Lancaster to support her decision. Did he have such confidence in her?

"Of course, you're outstanding and definitely capable of excelling in this position."

It was impossible for Julian to tell Nina Sinclair what he had done in private, so he mixed truth with fiction in his

response.

She knew after Sierra was dismissed, a new leader would surely take over.

She thought someone would be directly appointed from above, but didn’t expect an internal selection, which

made her even more excited.

Nina was momentarily stunned, selecting a leader?

They want her to run?

Faced with such a rare opportunity, Nina unexpectedly remained silent.

e the black card for a couple more days, but it seems now that’s unnecessary."

Sharon's tone suddenly shifted, and she said with a placating smile, "Hehe, | was just joking, feel free to insult

aving any repercussions.
