Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1526

The black SUV was entirely covered in dark-tinted windows, offering excellent privacy. One couldn't see inside from the outside, but from within, the outside was clear as day.

Watching Nina instruct the driver to place items at the back of their vehicle, Marcus's assistant was baffled. "Mr. Jensen..."

Marcus knew what he was about to say. His exquisite eyes revealed a hint of amusement as he glanced toward the woman outside the window.

She was a well-known entertainment journalist whom many celebrities despised.

Without exaggeration, her instincts were as sharp as a dog's nose. Though occasionally making mistakes like with him this time, most of her reports had been spot-on since she began her career.

Each revelation sent shockwaves through the entertainment world.

While everyone despised and relied on her simultaneously, Marcus was different. He neither revered nor detested her. He acted purely based on his mood.

Giving a subtle nod to his assistant, who had been by his side for years, the assistant instantly understood. Reluctantly, he rolled down the window.

Just as Nina was about to knock on the window, she caught a glimpse of Marcus. Surprise flashing in her eyes.

This man...seemed like he knew what she was up to.

"I'll admit my mistake in leaking that information. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Jensen," Nina said.

"If you recognize your mistake, you should correct it," Marcus said, feigning sleep, his beautiful eyes still closed.

Yet, Nina sensed his teasing undertone—he spoke to her like she was a child.

But she wasn't that young anymore.

She just appeared...a bit youthful.

Involuntarily, Nina straightened up, attempting to appear taller. However, her petite stature combined with the oversized hoodie made her seem even more undersized.

Her ponytail swayed with every movement she made, giving her a youthful vibrancy. It made her look like a recent college graduate.

Even Marcus's assistant was momentarily stunned by the scene. His expression softened a bit, mainly because he hadn't expected Nina Ashlee, the person everyone in the entertainment industry was wary of, to appear so diminutive.
