Upstairs.
After taking a shower and changing into his suit, Julian stepped out of the walk-in closet just as his phone, resting on the table, began to ring.
His expression was still cold, and he frowned in annoyance before walking over to the table and picking up the phone to check.
It was a call from Seraphina.
After hesitating for a moment, he answered.
"Hello, what's wrong, Sera?"
"Julian, are you busy right now?" Seraphina asked sweetly.
Julian: "Not busy. What is it? Just tell me."
Seraphina: "Ah, I just wanted to ask about the competition slot..."
Julian understood. "About the slot, I've already spoken to the manager. It's definitely yours. Don't worry, just prepare well."
This sentence gave Seraphina a reassurance that finally settled her heart, which had been hanging in suspense all night.
She was exceptionally thrilled. "Okay, thank you, Julian..."
Hearing her joyful voice.
Julian suddenly thought of the little girl from years ago who dreamed of becoming the world's top designer...
So pure.
So beautiful.
...
His heart suddenly felt as comfortable as if it had been ironed out, suppressing the irritation he felt just moments ago... suppressing everything!
He said gently, "You're welcome. Prepare well for the competition."
He hung up the phone.
He looked up at the pristine white snow outside the window, thinking, *Two days have passed, there should be news from Arthur by now...*
Ever since he saw that sachet at the hospital that day, there had been a voice in his heart over the past few days, urging him to look into the events of that year again.
If he didn't investigate.
His heart wouldn't be at peace.
...
At the same time.
At Lowell Industries.
