CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54: VINCENT LANCASTER PROPOSES

Julian Lancaster looked at Nina Sinclair and asked, "Why are you here instead of resting at home? Zenith hasn’t bought insurance for you."

His words implied that if Nina had an accident, there would be no compensation.

Upon hearing this, Nina felt a little wronged.

Sullenly, she said, "It’s all because of Yvette Thompson. She said if I didn’t complete her order on time, she’d make my life miserable, so I came over to shut her up."

Who would have thought she’d bump into Vincent Lancaster, that confident and arrogant man? Truly unlucky.

Recalling what he had said earlier, Nina still felt a bit disgusted.

Seeing her troubled expression, Julian’s heart softened, and he said gently, "Go back and rest; I’ll take care of your leave."

Nina nodded, "Got it."

Suddenly, she remembered Vincent’s insistence on knowing who her boyfriend was and curiously asked, "Do you often drive President Lancaster to Zenith?"

Julian raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"Earlier, Vincent said he wanted to see you; you can’t reveal your ace before their engagement party, so if we bump into each other at Zenith, let’s pretend we don’t know each other."

After all, she planned to bring Julian to Vincent’s engagement party for a bit of a show, and Vincent mustn’t discover him.

"Enough said, Vincent might see us together at any moment. I’m leaving first."

Nina waved her good hand and quickly turned to leave.

Julian actually wanted to say that Vincent had just gone upstairs to find him, so he wouldn’t be coming down to see them, but Nina’s figure had already disappeared. He thought for a moment and took the elevator upstairs.

The elevator doors opened, and Julian walked out.

Felix Ford immediately approached, asking ingratiatingly, "President Lancaster, she didn’t suspect anything, did she?"

Julian glanced at him coolly, "No."

Felix patted his chest, "Thankfully, my mind is sharp, and my acting skills are decent."

"Is James Aldridge’s matter taken care of?"

Hearing Julian’s question, Felix immediately responded, "It’s arranged as per your instructions. Also..." He hesitated before saying, "Vincent Lancaster wants to see you and is waiting in the conference room."

At the mention of Vincent, Julian felt a little irritated.

Impatiently, he said, "I’m not meeting him. Tell him I’m busy."

In the conference room, upon hearing that Julian was unavailable, Vincent’s face immediately turned dark.

After Felix left, he slammed his notebook angrily on the table, his entire demeanor agitated.

He had waited so long; every time Julian said he was busy, Vincent wondered if he was being messed around with on purpose!

Who does Julian think he is, just because he is favored by the old man?

Once he marries Sierra Sinclair and is acknowledged as the prospective son-in-law by the Sinclair Family, he’ll certainly gain favor with the old man, and won’t have to face Julian’s attitude anymore.

Furiously leaving, Vincent decided to focus his efforts on Sierra instead of wasting time on Julian.

While Nina was still doodling, she suddenly saw some people make a grand entrance, one holding a huge bouquet of roses, with others arranging petals into a heart shape at the entrance of Zenith Group.

A crowd quickly gathered, envious voices rising one after another.

"Wow, is someone proposing?"

"So many roses, it looks so romantic."

"The girl being proposed to must feel so lucky. Who’s making such a grand gesture? It’s enough to make the single ones envious!"

Amidst the chatter, Sierra Sinclair came down from the upper floor, clapping her hands over her mouth in surprise upon seeing the sea of roses, tears of joy welling up.

Vincent Lancaster walked out from the side, slowly approaching Sierra.

Standing firmly in front of her, Vincent took out a velvet box from his trouser pocket, opened it, and kneeled on one knee before Sierra.
