Julian Lancaster calmly said, "I was drunk last night. Did I make things difficult for you? If I did, I’m very sorry."
"...No, not at all!" Nina Sinclair forced a stiff smile.
She originally intended to ask whether Julian remembered what he had said last night.
But from the looks of it, he obviously doesn’t remember!
After thinking about it, Nina ultimately decided not to ask.
If he was just babbling drunkenly, and she asked, what would she do if he suddenly remembered and really agreed?
So it’s better to pretend to know nothing.
At this moment, Julian also felt a bit regretful.
Not only did Nina sleep poorly last night, but he also didn’t rest well, and as soon as he spoke those words, he regretted it.
But what’s done is done; a gentleman’s word is his bond.
Luckily, he had been drinking last night, so he could attribute everything to being drunk.
Nina didn’t bring up the incident again, and he also tacitly acted as if he didn’t know.
The two of them finished breakfast with a mind full of thoughts, and Julian took Nina to Zenith.
In the office, Julian was on a call with Sharon Lancaster.
Although Sharon realized she had misunderstood something last night, she was still a bit worried and specially called to check on Julian and Nina.
"We’re fine," Julian’s voice was calm.
"That’s good! That’s good!" Sharon breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Brother, since you like Nina too, then go ahead and win her over. That Ethan Sherman is no match for you."
Upon hearing this, Julian’s eyes flashed with sharpness.
Last night, there was a moment he considered giving up, but after sobering up, he dismissed the idea.
Now, his desire was growing stronger—to win over Nina Sinclair!
"Hmm." He responded nonchalantly.
Upon hearing that, Sharon burst into laughter.
She immediately said excitedly, "Is there anything I can do for you? I’m ready to serve you at any time."
Julian was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Teach me how to pursue a girl."
Sharon instantly became animated.
She promptly said, "Oh, I’m really good at this, I have all of the 360 tactics you could want!"
In the past, she always took the initiative to teach, and it was rare for Julian to actually want to pursue a girl, especially her ideal sister-in-law candidate, Nina Sinclair.
She had to reveal all her secrets!
"Brother, when it comes to courting a girl, I have the most experience, you know. Girls love romance—flowers, jewelry, handbags, and so forth..."
"Give all the best things to Nina Sinclair and she’ll change her view of you. Then, when you confess, won’t things be much easier?"
After hanging up, Julian pressed the intercom button.
Shortly after, Felix Ford came in, "President Lancaster, what can I do for you?"
Julian Lancaster: "Order a bouquet of roses."

In the Elysian Jewels Division.
Nina Sinclair sat at her desk, resting her chin on her hand, looking pensive.
Her mind was filled with thoughts about what Julian Lancaster had said last night about letting her be free.
Inexplicably, a sense of crisis arose within her heart.
She realized the surprise was indeed her fault, and she must quickly win over Julian Lancaster and make him fall for her.
But what exactly should she do?
This was the first time Nina Sinclair felt so at a loss over such matters, and no matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t find a solution.
Finally, she sighed softly, stood up with her water cup, and went to the pantry.
When Nina reached the door and was about to enter, she heard some slightly harsh voices coming from inside...
