Julien Baker Partner Novels & Stories

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?"

Julien runs his hands through his hair and slips out of her grip. The blonde’s mouth goes slack and her lips quiver, “Monsieur Julien co-“ Julien rolls his eyes,” Merde, prend le cinq cents et pars.” “D’accord,” Blondie says as she scurries off the bed. Julien doesn’t spare her a further glance, he stalks towards the bathroom, slamming the door in her face. What was I thinking last night? Julien muses. 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 looked so incredible, so striking, that he was left speechless. ''Adrian.'' Julian called softly, jolting him back to reality. Adrian’s gaze softened. ''You look amazing.'' 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.

"Elena doesn't care how rich or powerful someone is. If they're hurting innocent people, she'll go after them." Rebecca turned to Julian with interest. "And you're her business partner?" "Julian Gray," he said, shaking her hand. "I've been working with Elena for more than a year now. She's the most ethical businessperson I've ever met." "How did you two meet?" Julian looked at me, letting me decide how much to share. "We went to college together," I said. "Julian approached me about partnering on Phoenix Advisory when he saw what we were accomplishing."

said Jules, taking a deep breath, "is what I wanted to discuss with you. Scott wants me to be a consultant to his practice. When he has a male client, he will call me in to join them, and I'll, umm, offer my experience to the young man. Or old man, I guess. Whatever." Jules had no idea what Bryony's reaction would be, but she need not have worried. "Shit, Jules, what a brilliant idea! If you're not feeling well, or something, I'd be happy to step in for you. 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.”

I’d been to high society events before—my father used to drag me along before things fell apart—but I had never felt this kind of spotlight. Not until I was his. Someone tapped my arm. “Mrs. Blackwood?” I turned, trying not to flinch. A tall man in a velvet blazer smiled at me. Charming, a little too polished. His dark hair curled around his ears. Eyes that gleamed like trouble. “I’m Julian Hart,” he said, offering his hand. “Investor. Fan of hostile takeovers. And apparently, I’m your dance partner.” Lucien appeared beside me instantly. “She’s not dancing.”

AURELIA The new label was a project I worked on before becoming the CEO’s assistant. Mrs Juniper gave me full reign on the designs and sent them in a portfolio to popular celebrities for a possible collaboration. I had put the list together myself, and Ezekiel wasn’t on it. So of course it came to me as a shock when he appeared to be our new partner. Could it be a coincidence? Or did Mrs Juniper include him in the list while I was away?

Julian exclaimed, and Bastian chuckled. "Why?" asked Julian. "You think I can't kill you, Mr. Julian?" asked Bastian without calling Dad. "You're keeping me because I'm still useful to you, right?" Bastian sighed as he shoved his hands into his pants pockets. "Mr. Julian, let's work together this time as profitable partners," Bastian said. "What kind of partnership?" "You can ask me to kill anyone! But don't ever touch my people again, and stop interfering in my business. I'll still be your dog and kill all your competitors. As long as you stop meddling in my business and bothering my people!" raged Bastian.
