Chapter 227: Chapter 227

Although Nina Sinclair didn’t say anything, Millie Langley already fantasized in her mind and finally sighed, "If I ever get to meet President Lancaster, I would definitely be very excited."

Nina Sinclair smiled but didn’t burst her bubble. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt

Millie Langley looked so expectant, yet she might be disappointed when she sees him.

After work, Nina Sinclair still hadn’t received a reply from Julian Lancaster. She finally couldn’t hold back any longer and called him.

Zenith’s high-level meeting room.

At this moment, all the Zenith executives were in a meeting, but the atmosphere was somewhat unpleasant.

Julian Lancaster at the head seat had a cold and intimidating demeanor. The executives exchanged glances, being cautious not to provoke President Lancaster.

Why was President Lancaster so frightening today?

It was after work hours already, yet he still hadn’t let them leave.

Standing at the back, Felix Ford silently lamented. Because Nina Sinclair refused to accept the flowers from President Lancaster, he had been in this mood the entire day.

Just then, a ring shattered the tense atmosphere.

The crowd looked terrified. Who dared not put their phone on silent today, knowing President Lancaster was in a bad mood?

While everyone was shocked, Julian Lancaster took out his phone from his pocket. He frowned at the phone for a moment, seemingly hesitating whether to answer it.

A moment later, he said two words, "Dismissed."

After speaking, Julian Lancaster stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

Nina Sinclair waited a long while, and Julian Lancaster still didn’t answer. She sensed something was off. Could something have happened to Julian?

Just as Nina was thinking of reaching out to someone else, the phone connected.

"Hello," Julian Lancaster’s voice came through.

"Ju...Julian, are you okay? Why aren’t you returning my messages or answering the phone? Were you too busy today? Are you still coming to pick me up after work today?" Nina Sinclair asked a series of questions.

There was a moment of silence on Julian’s end.

Just when Nina thought he had disconnected, he said, "I’m on my way."

After saying that, Julian hung up the call.

Nina Sinclair’s anxious heart slightly relaxed. She had thought something had happened to Julian. Then why didn’t he reply to her messages?

However, since he was on his way, she had to hurry downstairs.

With that in mind, she quickly grabbed her bag and went downstairs to wait for Julian.

When she got downstairs, she already saw Julian’s car there. She walked over and opened the car door.

After the car started, Nina Sinclair belatedly felt Julian’s unusual silence. Although he usually didn’t talk much, today he was exceptionally quiet.

She sneaked a glance at him, sensing that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Could it be...he was still angry about that matter?

Is his mind really that petty?

Nina recalled how she’d been worrying all day because he hadn’t responded to her messages and felt a bit angry herself.

She said with dissatisfaction, "Didn’t you say last night that you weren’t mad about the gift I sent? Today you deliberately didn’t reply to my messages, did you? Do you know I waited for your reply all day!"

Julian Lancaster frowned deeply.

He didn’t understand what Nina Sinclair was thinking. Her refusal to accept his gift felt to him like a rejection, yet she still acted as if nothing was wrong and even asked why he didn’t respond to her messages.

Isn’t this exactly what she wanted?

"Why did you refuse to accept the flowers I sent?" Julian asked.

Nina Sinclair was about to have a good talk with Julian but didn’t expect to hear him ask this question. Instantly, all her words of doubt were stuck in her throat.

That bouquet was actually from Julian?!
