Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 58

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 58

“But at three in the evening, I have to go to Springlake Garden to meet Kayla.” Diana glanced at her watch and said apologetically, “We can’t be late.”

“I know,” Nina agreed verbally, but her mind was busy coming up with ways to buy time and stop Diana from going to the meeting.

If Kayla was going to such great lengths to meet Diana, it was surely ill–intentioned!

What if Diana saw how similar they look and collapsed?

“No way.” If the meeting was inevitable, then Nina had a proposal of her own. “Diana, why don’t I accompany you in the afternoon? I don’t feel at ease with you going alone.”

Diana immediately came to a realization. “I knew you wouldn’t make me go shopping with you on a workday for no reason!”

Nina was the editor–in–chief and was outstanding in her work. Who would be able to upset her at work?

“Please don’t worry about me,” Diana said to Nina. “What could happen to me in broad daylight? What’s more, I’m prepared. I bought a lot of personal defense items. What else are you worried about?”

Nina was deeply anxious. She wasn’t worried that Kayla would harm Diana physically. She was worried that Diana would have a mental breakdown the moment Kayla revealed her face!

She tugged Diana’s arm. “Diana, can’t you sense that something’s wrong the moment the Winningtons made you sign the contract? Kayla loves resorting to underhanded means. Shouldn’t we forget about meeting her?”

“Then what about the money?”

Nina felt helpless. She was unable to cover so large a gap.

“Go back, quick.” Diana glared at Nina. “Share your location with me in half an hour’s time. If you’re not in your office, our friendship’s over!”

Ultimately, Diana had to be the one to settle her own affairs.

Making Nina worry about her constantly would only add to her guilt.

Nina sighed resignedly. The last thing she could do was to pull Diana into a clothes shop. “You should wear something nicer.” She chose a black dress for Diana to try on. “This makes you look very classy.” After which, she pulled Diana to the make–up counter. “Full make–up, please. You can’t lose in your aura.”
