Julian arrived at the office just as lunch was about to start. Julian walked into the building and Hale was already at the door to greet him. All employees who saw Julian's arrival immediately stood up and saluted him. Julian walked casually to the elevator and went up to his room."Sir, Mrs. Aurora is waiting in your room," Hale told him when they were in the elevator."What is she doing here?" Julian asked in a less than pleasant tone."Looks like she brought you lunch," Hale replied, who had seen a clear bag containing food in Aurora's hand.The elevator doors opened and Julian no longer responded to Hale. Julian immediately walked and entered his office. Sure enough, Aurora was sitting sweetly with food neatly arranged on the table. Julian unbuttoned his jacket while closing the door."I brought you lunch," Aurora said with a warm smile."You don't have to do this." Julian reprimanded her gently and walked over to Aurora.Julian and Aurora sat facing each other while looking at th
Since that day, Aurora decided to return to her parents' house. Meanwhile, Julian continues his life as usual. Julian was not at all bothered by Aurora's departure, who also decided to sue him for divorce. Now, Julian's mind is only focused on doing business and running the Montague business so that it is better known by the wider community."Everything is in the trunk," said Hale, telling Julian who had just left the house."All right," Julian said as he buttoned up his jacket. "Have the gifts for the Cavendish, Vanderbilt, and Beaumont families been brought?""They have, sir." Hale nodded his head with a big smile."Well, then let's get going!" Julian was very excited today.Julian jumped into the car with Hale by his side. Meanwhile, the car drove off with a driver who would take them to the airport. This time, Julian and all his coworkers were going to Hong Kong for a big party on a cruise ship. Julian took everyone and organized it with Hale."Hale, please make sure all the food
The cruise ship began to move away from the dock and towards the middle of the sea. The large ship that can be filled with approximately 5000 people was launched. The difference this time was that the cruise ship only had less than 50 people on board, making it look very spacious.Julian as the host walked past all the guests and climbed to the mini podium provided in the middle of the ship. Julian tapped his microphone three times to make sure it was on. Julian, with his heart pounding, began to greet his guests."Good afternoon, my honored guests." Julian's booming voice made all the guests stop their activities and gather around the podium.Julian flashed a faint smile when everyone appreciated the event he made. Julian felt happy and proud to be in the midst of these successful people. Julian did not expect that
A few days passed, and Julian was back to his routine. However, Julian's mind still couldn't get away from Serena. Serena's figure continues to overshadow Julian throughout the day. Julian even got unfocused with some of his office work, but did not dare to call Serena first.“Focus, Julian.” Julian shook his head and realized he had been sitting for fifteen minutes in front of his desk without doing anything.Suddenly his cell phone rang and Julian immediately picked it up. Julian hoped it was news from Serena, but unfortunately, it was not. The name that appeared on Julian's cell phone screen was none other than Aurora, his wife. Julian snorted in disappointment before finally sliding the green button and picking it up.“Hello,” Julian said first and continued the work before him.“Can we meet at the usual cafe?” Aurora asked in a flat tone.“What time? I still have a lot of work to do,” explained Julian who was completely plain.“After work, let me know if you are finished. I'll go
“Do you know that guy?” asked my friend who was looking at Julian. I didn't want to look back at all and just answered, “Just ignore him.” “Do you still like flirting with guys like that?” I didn't want to answer because I was a little offended by her words. I became a woman who was known for flirting with men, but that wasn't the case. I was once cheated on by my boyfriend and it drove me crazy. For years, I tried to move on from him by seeking release from other men. From there, I became known as a woman who liked to flirt with other men, both married and single. “I have to go, I have some business,” I lied to my friend because I felt uncomfortable with her attitude. “Serena, wait!” I tried to cover my ears and walked out of the cafe. I passed Julian unceremoniously and then got into the car. I immediately started the car engine and drove away from the cafe. I have no other purpose and no business, I just want to calm my mind. Suddenly, my cell phone lit up and a messag
Elijah, who had fallen on the floor quite hard, immediately got up. Now, several pairs of eyes began to stare at them. Serena, still surprised, could only stand and stare at the back of the man who saved her. Elijah, who did not accept it, pushed the body of Julian, the man who saved Serena.“Don't interfere! This is my business with Serena,” he said firmly.“But she doesn't want it,” replied Julian, who looked very defensive of Serena.Julian looked back and saw Serena still standing. Julian looked at Serena warmly and took her hand. Elijah, upon observing Julian's behavior, promptly removed Julian's shirt.“What are you doing holding her hand?” Elijah became angry. “You have nothing to do with this, let her go or I will.” Elijah's words were cut off.“Do what you want, but Serena is coming home with me.” Julian set his jaw hard as he stared intently at Elijah.Elijah, who was carried away by the atmosphere and the influence of alcohol, hit Julian's face quite hard. Julian's body alm
The next day, Julian came out of the lodging room and looked at Serena's closed door. Julian walked to the door of Serena's room and intended to say goodbye. However, Julian's hand stopped when he wanted to knock on the door. Julian undid his intention because he didn't want to disturb Serena and went straight home.“Mr. Julian is going home?” asked the aunt, who was sweeping the front yard of the inn."Yes, Auntie, thank you for the reception. I'll drop by again sometime,” Julian replied politely with a big smile.“Well, Auntie will be happy if Mr. Julian can visit again.” Auntie also replied with a smile. “Be careful on the road,” she continued.Julian nodded his head and got into the car. Julian left before the sun had come up, so the roads were still very quiet. Julian drove at an average speed of 80 km/h, accompanied by soothing music.Julian decided to stop at a cafe to buy an iced Americano. After that, Julian drove home. During the trip, Julian felt a little bad, but he tried
Julian was taken by two policemen into a car. Hale, who couldn't help him, insisted on going with Julian to the police station. However, the police detained him because they intended to search for evidence at Julian's house.“Let me come,” Hale said with emotion.“I'm sorry, but we need permission to examine this house.”Hale, who had no other choice, decided to stay at home. Hale stared at Julian's back who had disappeared in the crowd of media crews. Julian got into the police car without being able to do anything. Julian felt that the Kingsley family had gone too far for him to do something like this.The police car drove to the police station with Julian inside. Julian could only remain silent during the trip. Julian stared straight ahead without saying anything to the police officer. Julian was thinking of a plan to be free from this charge.“Get down!” A policeman opened the car door and told Julian to get off immediately.Julian obeyed without much rebellion or argument. Julian
