Nina Sinclair’s face was full of embarrassment. She never expected her good friend to catch her and Julian Lancaster making out, and he even... even got handsy!
It was truly embarrassing; her cheeks were as red as a peach.
Julian Lancaster’s expression turned slightly cold, and he looked displeased as he stared at Sharon Lancaster, seemingly annoyed at her interruption.
Catching them was one thing, but couldn’t she have slipped away quietly? No awareness at all!
Sharon, realizing she was in trouble from Julian’s look, shrank back a bit. "I’ll just be on my way then. I’ll come find you once you’re done."
"Come here," Julian said coldly.
Sharon’s steps, intent on leaving, turned back towards them.
Nina watched Julian scold Sharon with his icy demeanor and was afraid he’ll get fired for opposing his employer. She quickly whispered to him, "Don’t be so fierce. Sharon is your employer, you need to be polite to her."
Julian then remembered that he was just a driver for the Lancaster Family now.
Suppressing his displeasure, he addressed Sharon, "Missy."
Sharon, having just approached, was startled by this shocking title and nearly stumbled to the ground in front of them.
Ha? Her brother actually called her "Missy"? That’s truly amusing.
All her life, she’d been suppressed by their bloodline, always the one to obediently admit her mistakes. Never had he been humble to her.
Now, it’s finally time for revenge!
Sharon gave a coy hum, looking smug, and ordered Julian, "Say it again."
Julian’s deep eyes swept over her lightly, exerting natural authority without anger, his presence formidable.
Without saying anything, Sharon instantly chickened out.
Afraid Julian would confront her later, she dared not act up any further and hastily said, "Ahem, my brother seems quite busy today. You should hurry up and pick him up." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
"I’m leaving," Julian turned and left.
Nina felt awkward and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Sharon, why did you come over so early?"
"Oh, I heard you weren’t feeling well, so I came to check on you," Sharon said casually. In truth, Julian had messaged her, asking her to watch over Nina in case anything happened.
Sharon was a bit speechless; after all, it was just period pain. What was there to be so anxious about?
But didn’t this mean someone was already quite taken with Nina?
After saying that, Sharon chuckled, "I didn’t expect to get a free show. If I hadn’t come, were you two about to set the bed on fire with your passion?"
She never imagined the medicine she gave was so effective, her brother already acting on his urges after taking it.
"Stop talking nonsense, come in quickly," Nina pulled her inside.
The two returned inside and sat down. Nina poured a glass of water for Sharon.
Seeing Nina holding the cup with one hand, Sharon quickly took it from her, asking, "When do you think your hand will heal? You can’t be at the engagement party for that jerk and Beatrice Sinclair."
Nina said, "The doctor said it’s just a muscle strain, should recover in over ten days. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine before their engagement party."
Hearing this, Sharon relaxed quite a bit.
She seemed to have thought of something and said, "When the time comes, I’ll take you to get a custom gown. You’ll absolutely steal the show!"
Nina laughed, Sharon, her good friend, was more anxious than she was.
She thought of the main person, Julian Lancaster, and asked worriedly, "Sharon, when’s your brother going on a business trip? I’m worried we’ll run into him if he’s still around."
"Uh... these couple of days, he’s going on a business trip!" Sharon blatantly lied without blinking.
"That’s great!" Nina was thoroughly relieved.
Suddenly remembering what Julian had told her, she curiously asked, "Sharon, have you ever met Julian’s pretend sister?"
"Hmm? What about his sister?"
Sharon paused, looking guiltily at Nina.
If Nina knew that his so-called sister was sitting right in front of her, she wondered what her expression would be.
"He said he’s an orphan and that his only family left is his sister, who has five kids and is a very hardworking stay-at-home mom."
Sharon suddenly spat a mouthful of water.
She choked and coughed violently, turning red from holding her breath.
