Nina Sinclair’s face was pale, and she was completely devastated.
Sierra Sinclair glanced at her and hummed triumphantly, "Nina, you heard it too, right? Vincent’s uncle is back from his business trip. Vincent is definitely going to be promoted."
Her eyes were full of pride, as if saying: Such an outstanding man is mine; you can only envy me.
After speaking, Sierra seemed to remember something.
She deliberately asked, "By the way, I saw you leave in a man’s car the other day. Is that man your new boyfriend? Where does he work? How much is his monthly salary?"
Among the men Sierra had met, Vincent Lancaster was already the richest and had the highest status, so she didn’t believe Nina’s new boyfriend would be any better.
Nina had no time to deal with Sierra. All she could think about was how to handle the actual return of Julian Lancaster.
She walked to a nearby corner, took out her phone, and dialed Julian’s number. The call was quickly connected.
A man’s deep, magnetic voice came through, "Hello."
"Oh no! Did you know that the real Julian is back? Didn’t you say he would return in half a year? What should we do now?" Nina’s voice was slightly trembling, full of tension and panic.
At that moment, Julian was sitting in his office watching surveillance footage. On the screen, Vincent was sitting on the sofa, smiling and waiting expectantly.
Julian’s mouth curled slightly, "I know, I was the one who picked him up from the airport."
"So... what should we do..." Nina was at a loss.
She originally thought she could bring the driver, Julian, to confront them during Vincent and Sierra’s engagement. Everything would be resolved perfectly, and the real Julian wasn’t back yet, so no one would know about this.
Now that the actual person is back, what should she do?
"I’ll handle it," Julian said.
Handle it? How does he plan to handle it?
Before Nina could ask, Julian had already hung up the phone.
Nina returned to her spot. Since Vincent and Sierra were causing trouble, the painting matters could only be temporarily halted, and she would wait until they reached an agreement to continue.
She collected her things and headed back to the apartment. Sierra kept pressing her about her new boyfriend, but Nina didn’t answer.
Sierra thought Nina was guilty, sure she had hit a sore spot, and her smug grin reached her ears.
Inside the Zenith conference room.
Vincent had been waiting for Julian. He hadn’t expected it to be quitting time without seeing Julian, and at last, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Assistant Ford, didn’t you say my uncle is back? I want to see him."
Felix Ford responded without changing his expression, "Vincent, President Lancaster is very busy. There are many people recently negotiating contracts with him. He’s hosting guests; is there anything urgent you need?"
His implication was that Julian could close million-dollar deals in minutes, so if Vincent didn’t have anything important, he shouldn’t bother him with small matters.
Vincent hesitated for a while; he just wanted to assert his presence.
Compared to clients, he indeed wasn’t that important.
Felix said, "Perhaps if you come tomorrow, President Lancaster will have time to see you."
Vincent’s disappointment vanished. Since Julian doesn’t have time to see him today, he would come again tomorrow.
With that thought, he cheerfully got up and left.
Watching his back, Felix couldn’t help but sigh. It seems Vincent still doesn’t know what kind of trouble he’s really gotten himself into, without realizing he’s being dealt with by President Lancaster.
