The next day, Nina Sinclair got up for work, and as she passed by Julian Lancaster’s house, she glanced over. She was always afraid of running into him but secretly hoped to see him.
It was at this moment that Nina realized she hadn’t forgotten Julian at all.
She still had feelings for Julian, but they had little chance of being together now. She forcefully suppressed her emotions deep down.
Upon arriving at the Sinclair Group, Nina saw a crowd gathered there. Ruby Sinclair and her assistant, Julia Lane, were surrounded by people, and whatever they were saying had everyone laughing and chatting, appearing very lively.
As Nina walked in, the employees suddenly fell silent.
Suddenly, an employee looked at Nina with malice and sarcastically asked, "Nina Sinclair, I heard you failed to meet with H Investments? Now they’ve chosen Manager Ruby, that’s too bad for you! Don’t be sad or upset."
Nina noticed the smile at the woman’s lips and her gaze turned cold immediately.
Yesterday, Ruby went directly to H Investments and snagged the deal from her, and now she was flaunting it.
Seeing Nina’s expression, Ruby smirked mockingly; all this success was due to her acquaintance with Howard Chase. To thank Howard, she had to grudgingly go out for dinner with him, nearly getting dragged to a hotel room, but luckily she found an excuse to avoid it.
Fortunately, the results were good.
Although Nina had previously worked at the Sinclair Group, coming back now was almost like being a newbie, and the employees didn’t show her much respect.
On the contrary, Ruby was more well-liked.

"Manager Sinclair, this time your press conference got such a big investment from H Investments. It’s bound to be impressive. I heard that H Investments never fails on projects they invest in. Their President Lennox has keen insight."
"Doesn’t that mean Manager Sinclair’s conference is going to be a hit?"
Ruby lightly laughed behind her hand, "Oh, come on, don’t overpraise me. Since there’s investment for the conference, I’ll give it my all. As for success, let’s leave it to fate."
The others continued, "Oh, don’t be so modest."
"Exactly, we’re looking forward to your big success!"
Suddenly, someone glanced at Nina standing nearby and said, "But... without investment, Nina’s press conference won’t be possible, right?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone’s eyes turned to Nina.
Nina had been intending to head to her office, but this group blocked her way, making it impossible to move past them.
Moreover, they were busy fawning over Ruby and nobody paid her any attention.
Now that everyone was looking at her, Nina finally spoke coldly, "Time hasn’t run out. How do you know I won’t find an investor? Please step aside, I need to work."
At Nina’s words, many secretly mocked her.
Ruby, however, kindly suggested, "Sister, why not go see President Rhodes? After all, your conference is on the same day as mine. If you don’t have any investment, it could look very shabby, and that would embarrass us at the Sinclair Group."
