The next day, Nina Sinclair drowsily got out of bed.
She had tossed and turned all night and eventually fell into a hazy sleep, not even knowing if Julian Lancaster had returned.
She glanced at the spot next to her; the sheets showed slight creases, proving Julian had slept there.
After washing up, Nina walked out of the room and immediately saw Julian sitting in a chair in the living room.
He was still wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, the contrast of black and white was striking, giving him an invisible coldness that made people hesitant to approach.
For some reason, Nina felt that there was something off about his mood.
Could it be that he got up too early and was feeling cranky?
Nina greeted, "Morning, good morning..."
Julian looked up at Nina, and she noticed the faint shadows under his eyes, making him look exhausted.
It seemed like he hadn’t slept well last night.
Nina collected her thoughts and sat down on the chair next to Julian.
At this moment, she noticed a variety of exquisite breakfasts on the dining table, looking nutritious and seemingly store-bought.
Did Julian get up early to buy breakfast?
Could he be concerned about her, sparing her the trouble?
Warmth filled Nina’s heart as she turned to look at his handsome yet weary face, feeling more and more pity for him.
In Elysian’s manager office, Sierra Sinclair sat in the chair with a grim face.
Every time she saw Nina, it felt like a stab to her heart.
Everything originally prepared for the newly appointed design director at Zenith was enjoyed by Nina instead—what right did she have!
Rhonda, beside her, didn’t dare to breathe heavily, fearing to provoke Sierra.
After a moment, she cautiously said, "Manager Sinclair, there seems to be a rumor that Nina and Rebecca Lowell knew each other before..."
Sierra turned her head, "How could anyone from Sinclair Group know Nina? Are you mistaken?"
"I just overheard them; they saw Nina talking with Rebecca. I’m not very clear about the details."
Upon hearing this, a cunning gleam flashed in Sierra’s eyes.
Judging from Rebecca’s demeanor yesterday, she didn’t seem to be in good terms with Nina. If there were any grudges between them, she’d be happy to exploit it without dirtying her own hands, wouldn’t it be killing two birds with one stone?
"Go and find out immediately."
Soon, Rhonda went out and got close to Rebecca, finding out about Nina’s issue, and quickly reported back.
Sierra asked: "Nina used to work for Sinclair Group. Why was she fired?"
Rhonda nodded immediately, "Yes, but what exactly happened, Rebecca didn’t tell me. She seems somewhat apprehensive."
Byron Sinclair had once ordered that this matter not be publicized.
Though Rebecca had come to Zenith, she was still part of Sinclair Group. She dared to suppress Nina but didn’t dare to speak too much about this issue.
Sierra’s eyes flickered with calculation. "You quickly go and find out what’s going on!"
"Okay." Rhonda went out again.
Sierra sneered, curling her lips.
She never expected Nina to have such a past; she hadn’t even mentioned these things to her. Now that she had a handle on it, she couldn’t blame anyone else; Nina just attracted too much dislike!
At this moment, Nina was resting her chin in her hand, absent-mindedly sitting in her place.
Last night, her plan of concern had failed.
Failing on her first attempt really left her feeling frustrated. The most update n0vels are published on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
What else could she do?
Suddenly, she thought of Sharon Lancaster, who loved reading novels and surely had lots of great ideas. With this in mind, Nina took out her phone to send a message to Sharon.
