In the kitchen, Julian Lancaster lightly smirked.
He was just testing her earlier.
The result left him very satisfied.
Even though Nina Sinclair seemed somewhat resistant, she didn’t actually reject him; maybe it’s just a psychological shadow that she will eventually get over.
He believed that over time, she would gradually begin to accept him again.
At night, they were getting ready for bed.
After the little episode during cooking, Nina Sinclair really felt uneasy, worried that Julian Lancaster might act unpredictably.
She hesitated in the bathroom for a long time and finally couldn’t stay in there any longer, so she opened the bathroom door and went out.
Julian Lancaster was lying in bed reading, with only the bedside lamp on.
When he saw Nina Sinclair come out, he closed the book and looked over at her.
Nina Sinclair immediately froze like a cat with its neck gripped, not daring to move.
Seemingly aware of her reluctance, Julian Lancaster gently said, "Why are you standing there? Come here." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
Nina Sinclair continued nervously, walking over cautiously and lying down beside him.
Suddenly, Julian Lancaster reached out his hand, and she immediately clutched the blanket tightly, holding her breath, feeling very tense.
Unexpectedly, he just turned off the light, then patted her head gently and whispered, "Good night, sleep well."
Goodness, she thought Julian Lancaster was going to do something.
It scared her half to death.
Nina Sinclair gradually relaxed, and as her muscles loosened, sleepiness overcame her, and she slowly drifted off.
The next day, after arriving at the office, Nina Sinclair instructed Millie Langley to go register for the Elysian manager competition.
Millie Langley looked at Nina Sinclair in shock and asked, "Director Sinclair, yesterday you didn’t seem interested in participating. Why the change in decision today?"
Such a drastic change overnight was indeed surprising.
Nina Sinclair smiled casually and said, "Because suddenly, I’m interested again, and since there are no constraints, hurry and sign me up."
"Got it!" Millie Langley cheerfully went.
She is Nina Sinclair’s assistant now, and if Nina Sinclair gets promoted, she would naturally benefit from it, so she was very invested.
The registration forms were collected by specialists sent from Zenith Headquarters and then uniformly submitted up the ranks.
Almost half of the Elysian staff signed up.
Rebecca Lowell had just submitted her form and was still with a specialist when she saw Millie Langley approaching, immediately frowning slightly.
Yvonne Crowe was following Rebecca Lowell around, under the guise of accompanying her, but really hoping to try her luck.
And Rebecca Lowell knew this election was announced from above, secretly thinking it was surely meant to let her rise openly to power; otherwise, they wouldn’t make such a big fuss.
A woman dressed in a designer outfit accompanying her asked, "Millie Langley, you don’t also plan to run, do you?"
"Of course not me, it’s Director Sinclair who’s running!"
Upon hearing that Nina Sinclair was entering, Rebecca Lowell snorted coldly, clearly not considering Nina Sinclair a threat.
"She’s entering the election? Has she finished the manuscript restoration? To think she has the leisure to participate, truly laughable!"
Millie Langley ignored Rebecca Lowell and handed over her documents.
She then turned and left.
Seeing Millie Langley’s arrogant demeanor, Rebecca Lowell was so angry her face turned green.
Damn it, once she rises to power, she will definitely get rid of Nina Sinclair and this troublesome assistant.
