<h4>Chapter 212: Chapter 212: The Secret to Bing Design Director</h4>
Mrs. Sherman, Ethan Sherman’s mother, is Nina Sinir’s aunt. After her own mother, Madeline Sherman, had an ident, Mrs. Sherman constantly helped her out and treated her genuinely well, almost like a second mother.
Nina Sinir was very respectful to her and didn’t hesitate at all when she heard Mrs. Sherman asked Ethan to bring something to her.
Soon, Ethan Sherman’s car appeared downstairs at Zenith.
Nina Sinir walked over, and Ethan opened the car door and got out, handing a delicate little box to Nina Sinir.
After taking it, Nina Sinir opened it curiously.
Inside the boxy an uncut gemstone about three fingers wide.
Sunlight streamed through the box, illuminating the gemstone, making it crystal clear, dazzling, and splendidly vibrant.
Ethan Sherman said, "My mom saw this at an auction a few days ago. She thought it looked very fitting for you, so she bought it and is giving it to you."
Such a precious item, there was no way Nina Sinir could ept it casually.
She closed the lid and handed the box back to Ethan, saying, "No, this is too valuable. I can’t ept it, you should take it back."
"Don’t be so distant! It’s not something particrly valuable. If my mom finds out I didn’t give it to you, she’d probably skin me alive. Come on, just ept it!"
"No, I really can’t take it."
Just then, Julian Lancaster wasing down with Felix Ford, Marcus Walsh, and others.
He immediately noticed Nina Sinir and Ethan Sherman jostling at the door. Julian recognized the bag in Nina’s hand as the clothing brand she had specifically sought him out to try on yesterday.
She’s trying to give the clothes to Ethan, but he’s refusing?
Truly ungrateful!
Julian Lancaster pressed his thin lips tightly and didn’t linger, he simply walked away.
Felix Ford and Marcus Walsh exchanged a nce, seeing regret in each other’s eyes.
Why did they have to make the mistake of inviting President Lancaster out for a meal?
The reason was, they heard a nearby newly opened restaurant had great food, so they dragged Julian Lancaster to check it out and see if there was anything to learn for Lancaster Group’s dining establishments.
They didn’t expect to stumble upon such a dramatic scene.
If only they’d known, they would have gone by themselves.
Nina Sinir and Ethan Sherman hesitated for quite a while, but finally, she couldn’t resist his persuasion and epted the gemstone.
She could take the gemstone, create a design, and give the finished product to her aunt.
The day passed quickly, and at the end of the workday, Julian Lancaster appeared on time downstairs at thepany to pick Nina Sinir up.
Nina Sinir eagerly headed downstairs.
Behind a ss window upstairs, Reba Lowell watched Nina’s figure, a look of disdain in her eyes.
Meeting one man at noon, another man in the evening.
Nina Sinir is really a master of time management, like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower—is this her secret to getting into Zenith and bing the design director?
The clothing bag wasrge and hard to hide. Nina opened the rear car door to put the items away, then returned to sit in the front passenger seat.
Julian Lancaster nced at the several bags in the back, and snorted coldly in his heart.
Once she settled in her seat, Nina Sinir carefully considered her words, then said, "The outfit you tried on yesterday, I bought it for you."
For him?
Wasn’t it just something that Ethan didn’t want, now tossed to him?
Nina Sinir dared to think he knew nothing, treating him as a garbage bin for unwanted stuff?
Julian Lancaster kept his lips tightly pressed, starting the car without saying a word.
On the road, Nina Sinir sharply sensed that something was off in the car’s atmosphere. She cautiously nced at Julian Lancaster.
His profile was handsome, yet slightly tense, clearly not happy.
Why was he not as pleased as she imagined when she gave him the gift? What went wrong? It seems she needs to ask Ethan Sherman about it.
