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. Follow current novᴇls on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
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, I 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 .
This wasn’t a solution, but he had no better ideas.
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, I was originally thinking of letting you use 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, I was just joking, feel free to insult me with money!"
