Julien Baker Partner Novels & Stories

"You work for Nol?" "Of course!" Jules responds brightly. "We’re business partners, you see. We both built this company from the ground up." "That’s," I begin, but stop as Blaine eyes us suspiciously. Shit, had I screwed up already by speaking so casually with Jules? "Sorry, I think I should..."

Julian wouldn’t mess around with her so-called sister… would he? “Mom.” Diana had to stop her imagination from running wild, given that she had no evidence at this point. “I’ll receive the earrings when they arrive. I can also give you two more days to talk to James about the money, but you must tell me this: Who was the partner that Julian brought along on that day of the banquet at the Fulcher Manor and Kayla’s reception banquet?” Kate hesitated for a long time as silence ensued over the phone as if she had hung up.

Julian flashes him a brilliant, entirely fake smile. "I’ll be joining my friend," Julian tells the kid. "I'll have an espresso. And a smoked salmon bagel. No capers. If I see a single caper I’m making you eat it." The waiter nods nervously and vanishes. I glare at Julian. "So," Julian says, leaning forward and resting his elbows on the table. "It must be a bit weird having Nathanial joining you as the Co-director at Stein M&A. Sitting right across the hall from you. Things can get terribly cozy if you end up working late together. How’s that going?"

It was a long night, he had just closed a deal with a group of investors that his father had quite literally been stalking for almost a year. They were immensely bureaucratic with their ordeals and. hesitated in doing business with the Benoits.

There were quite popular faces. Victor cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention. “Ladies and gentlemen, before we dive into the Nexus Project, I’d like to introduce one of our key collaborators.” He gestured toward me, his hand lingering in the air as if presenting a prized artifact. “Julia Wilson, CEO of Julison Tech Company.”

Julian gave a small smile. ''It’s all thanks to you.'' Adrian extended his arm. ''Let’s go.'' Julian stared at it, hesitating. ''I don’t think I should.'' ''You’re accompanying me as my partner, Julian. Come on.'' Adrian said, firm yet calm. Julian didn’t argue further. He walked to him and linked his hand with Adrian’s arm, and together they stepped out.

I asked. "I was never more sure of anything in my life," Julian said. "Then yes," I said. "Welcome to Phoenix Advisory, partner." Julian's smile could have lit up the entire lobby. "Partner.

Actually, I think it's really hot, and I'm getting quite worked up thinking about it." Well, thought Jules, as they raced upstairs together, ripping off their clothes, that went better than I thought it might. The reception area of Scott

Now he was holding me, stroking my hair gently. “I love you,” he told me. “I love you too,” I replied. Then I looked into his eyes, “But what is going on between you and Martinez Brown? I want to know, will you tell me?” Julian was flustered upon hearing this, “It is just business. She is the CEO of Banda Inc and we are their partners over a big project. Until that project is over, we are partners and we can have lunch together. It's really nothing.”

A reputation. "Alexandra Montgomery," Juliana said, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. "I've heard so much about you." Alexandra nodded politely. "Mrs. Cadwell. A pleasure." "Is it?" Juliana laughed.“Actually, I have a question for you,” she said. “Just one. I’d like to see whether you’re really capable of handling a partnership A few people shifted uncomfortably in their seats.
