Chapter 247: Chapter 247

Nina Sinclair didn’t sleep all night. She wanted to wait for Julian Lancaster to come back, but he never did. By the time dawn broke and it was her usual time to leave for work, she still hadn’t seen any sign of Julian.

She felt that this matter needed to be laid out openly and made clear with Julian Lancaster.

But Julian wouldn’t answer her calls, nor would he reply to her messages.

She had absolutely no way to communicate with him.

Seeing that she was about to be late for work, Nina washed her face to perk up a bit and headed to Zenith for work.

Upon arriving at Zenith, Nina first reported to Elysian before taking the elevator straight to the top floor to go to the president’s office.

At that time, Felix Ford and Marcus Walsh in the management office had just started their workday.

Marcus was sitting at his desk having breakfast when he unexpectedly saw Nina show up. She looked at Marcus with some curiosity, "Good morning, President Lancaster."

In actuality, Nina was somewhat puzzled inside.

Why did President Lancaster like to go outside for breakfast? Could it be that he found the taste too strong?

Marcus nearly choked on a bun and had to gulp down some water to recover, turning red in the face.

Felix, standing nearby, reacted quickly. He got up to walk over and distract Nina, asking, "Miss Sinclair, why are you here? Is there something you need?"

Nina asked, "I... Is Julian here? I have something to discuss with him."

Felix was taken aback, not knowing what to say.

Wasn’t Julian living with Nina? Why would she ask him to find someone?

He had left work early last night and was unaware of what had happened later; at this moment, he was utterly baffled.

Suppressing his curiosity, Felix spoke naturally, "He hasn’t come to work yet. Is there something Miss Sinclair needs to relay? Should I pass a message for you?"

Nina shook her head, "If he comes, please have him contact me."

With that said, Nina turned and walked away.

After taking two steps, she seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned back, "Oh, by the way, Assistant Ford, thank you for renting the Royal Vista Estates house to us."

Once Nina had really left, Marcus clicked his tongue and said to Felix, "Felix, I didn’t know you were so wealthy, able to afford a place at Royal Vista Estates."

"You’re overthinking it—that’s President Lancaster’s! I wish it were mine." Felix rolled his eyes at him and said, "You’re sitting in a dangerous spot here. From now on, you should move to the small conference room for work." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt

Marcus also felt it was too risky to sit outside. What if Nina came up again in the future? It was safer to move.

Thinking about how Nina had looked earlier, it seemed something had happened with Julian.

Marcus, gossiping, lowered his voice and asked, "Felix, do you think something happened between President Lancaster and Miss Sinclair? Could they have had a fight?"

"That’s none of our business; even if they did fight, there’s nothing we can do about it. Hurry up and pack your things; I’ll help you move."

Nina waited all day at Zenith but never received any notice from Felix.

It seemed Julian didn’t come to work today.

He appeared to have completely gone missing.

At the end of the workday, Nina went downstairs with Millie Langley.

Julian hadn’t come to pick her up, so today she needed to go home by herself. Nina chose to take public transportation. Coincidentally, Millie’s route was quite similar to hers, so they went back together, keeping each other company.

Millie asked curiously, "Director Sinclair, didn’t you sleep well last night? I noticed you seemed listless all day."

Nina smiled, "Yeah, stayed up all night watching a drama."

She didn’t want to let everyone know about her issues with Julian, turning it into gossip fodder at Elysian, so she casually made up an excuse.

"Wow, I didn’t expect you to be into dramas too, Director Sinclair. Which one are you watching? Is it the one that’s trending right now?"

Just as Nina was about to speak, a black car suddenly stopped in front of them.

Soon after, a few burly men got out of the car and quickly surrounded Nina, "Nina Sinclair, our lady wishes to see you."
