The moment Julian stepped out of the boardroom, his secretary followed closely behind him.

“Transfer all the details and plans of our latest projects to Director Sebastian.”

His secretary was taken aback but obediently nodded.

As they both made their way to the exit, two bodyguards intercepted them.

“Director Julian, Mrs. Chairwoman requests your presence in her office.”

“Head over to the company without me,” Julian said before following the two bodyguards.

Upon arriving at Lorraine’s office, h

    Julian felt her breath pause the moment he closed the remaining gap between their lips.His lips moved gently against hers, careful not to scare her away, while she gripped his dress tightly.He slowly pulled away, resting his forehead against hers as he stared at Elara, whose chest rose and fell rapidly.Her eyes gently fluttered open, meeting his. Slowly, she brought her hands to his chest, tracing it until her hands found his hair. Then, she slammed her lips against his.That was all it took for him to lose control.Julian pulled her closer to him, her body pressing firmly against his chest as he deepened the kiss. He held her by the waist, pulling her closer and closer.His lips left hers, trailing kisses until they lingered longer than expected on the exposed skin of her cleavage. He felt her grip on his shoulder tighten when he kissed her there.His lips then found their way to the side of her neck, his hands moving to her bare back as his lips gently brushed against the sensiti

    The moment Julian stepped out of the boardroom, his secretary followed closely behind him.“Transfer all the details and plans of our latest projects to Director Sebastian.”His secretary was taken aback but obediently nodded.As they both made their way to the exit, two bodyguards intercepted them.“Director Julian, Mrs. Chairwoman requests your presence in her office.”“Head over to the company without me,” Julian said before following the two bodyguards.Upon arriving at Lorraine’s office, he found her standing in front of her late husband’s portrait, staring at it.“Mrs. Chairwoman,” Julian greeted with a respectful nod. “You requested my presence.”Lorraine turned to him, a displeased look clearly evident on her face.“What just happened earlier, Julian? I told you… I told you never to let your guard down.” Lorraine approached him.Julian sighed, looking away. “I have everything under control. Don’t worry.”“No, you don’t. You don’t seem to understand the gravity of things at the

    Julian stared at her briefly before his lips curved.“Why are you interested in knowing about my past?” He smirked, leaning closer to her. “Perhaps, is it what I'm thinking?”Elara shrugged. “We're getting married in two weeks, and apart from your name and family, I know nothing about the man I'm marrying,” she muttered.“What if my past isn't pleasing to the ears?” Julian raised a brow. “Would that change the way you see me?”“It can't possibly get worse, though,” Elara smirked.Julian chuckled, diverting his gaze to the moonlit sky.“I've always been popular, not in a good way, though. I spent the majority of my time gambling, drowning in alcohol, and chasing women,” Julian reminisced with a small smile.“All I did was travel around with no notion of responsibility. I spent my family's wealth recklessly on alcohol, partying, and women. And just as you know, I used to have a drinking problem. Seventy percent of the time, I was drunk, and I was honestly content with the way things wer

    The venue for the after-party was bustling with loud music and chatter. The air was fun and upbeat, with some celebrities and guests taking pictures and videos together while others drank and danced away their sorrows.Julian sat alone in the quieter corner of the venue, sipping on a glass of cold whiskey while his gaze swept across the hall.“J,” a lady smiled, holding a bottle of alcohol as she slumped onto the seat next to Julian.She had short hair and wore a gown that left little to nothing to the imagination, exposing the back tattoo that adorned her entire back.“What a surprise we have here. I thought I'd never get to see you in person again, Mr. Director,” she smiled as she leaned closer to Julian, her hand slowly caressing his thigh.“You're still the same, I can see. They never seem to find you missing at any party,” Julian smiled at her.The lady laughed too loudly before bringing her face closer to his. “I can't say the same thing for you, though. You stopped responding t

    Getting to their assigned room, Elara was stunned to see one of their models sitting weakly on the chair while Tristan fanned her.Isabel paced around, trying to get her emotions in check while Henry spoke on the phone at a corner.“What’s happening?” Elara muttered.Aria sighed. “She’s sick.”“It’s okay,” the model said immediately as she rose up. “I can still walk the runway. It’s not a—”Her body gave up, and Tristan quickly held her, guiding her back to her seat.“Gosh, this can’t be happening right now...” Elara pinched her brows. “Why didn’t you inform us on time?”“I’m sorry,” was all the model kept muttering as tears streaked down her cheek.Elara sighed loudly, running her hands through her hair. Her heart raced when she heard the sound of the microphone from the stage.The runway was about to begin.“There’s no available model who could come at such short notice to replace her,” Henry spoke, shaking his head.“I’ll see what I can do. There’s got to be a way.” Isabel walked o

    Morning...Elara slowly sat up in bed as she let out a sleepy yawn, grabbing her phone to check the time. Her brows furrowed when she saw it was eleven in the morning.Talking with Julian all night must have made her oversleep. Thankfully, she still had one more hour to get ready for the big event—the runway.Her lips curled as she made her way to the bathroom.Freshened and fully clothed, she walked downstairs while wearing her necklace when a sweet aroma wafted in the air.Making her way to the kitchen, her brows rose when she saw the bouquet of peonies lying next to a tray of freshly cooked meal.“When does he even have time to make all this?” Elara chuckled as she picked the bouquet, inhaling its sweet scent.“How does he know it’s my favorite?” Elara’s smile widened. Her gaze caught the note attached to the bouquet.She opened it.~Nothing better to start a day than your favorite flower and favorite meal, enjoy. Good luck, Kitten.~Elara scoffed. “So old-fashioned,” she grinned.
