Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 140

Clara watched the two of them with great interest, anticipating how Julian would handle Seraphina... Would he reprimand her? Or, to secure his cooperation with Shaw Enterprises, would he directly strip her of her position?

It was really something to look forward to!

However.

Julian's expression remained indifferent as he merely said, "The spoiled girl is a bit headstrong. Please don't mind her, Ms. Shaw."

A blatant defense.

Clara's mind went blank for a moment. Then, as her gaze met the triumphant curve of Seraphina's lips, it felt as if she had been ruthlessly slapped, her face burning hot.

Phoebe was also taken aback. She didn't expect Julian to dote on Seraphina to such an extent, not even caring that Seraphina had schemed against Clara.

As a fellow woman, she cast a sympathetic glance at Clara...

Clara understood what her look meant.

She offered a pale smile, her heart severely chilled.

But that was reality.

She had no other choice. It was her own fault for getting involved with a man like this. Shaking her head sorrowfully, she didn't want to stay any longer. She murmured to Phoebe, "Let's just leave this matter as it is. Please keep the cufflinks safe, Ms. Shaw. I see the rain outside has stopped, so I'll be leaving first."

Phoebe didn't stop her. She sighed softly, "Be careful on the road."

Clara gave a knowing smile. Taking a sideways glance at the balcony, she then stepped forward to leave.

Julian's expression was composed. As she passed by him, he raised his hand to touch her fingers, a very subtle movement...

Clara frowned and evaded his touch, running out of the bedroom.

Seraphina noticed this, and the smile on her lips froze slightly.

Phoebe saw it too. She smiled faintly and remarked mockingly, "It's quite peculiar. Mr. Lowell rushed all the way over here late at night just for this minor matter. But if my memory serves me right, Manager Vance is merely your subordinate..."

Julian pressed his lips together. The overhead light shone on his sharply contoured profile, casting a deep, unfathomable shadow.

He didn't explain. A few seconds later, he said in a low voice, "Sorry for the intrusion. It's late; I'll be taking my leave."

Phoebe's expression paused slightly, and then she smiled. Gesturing with her hand, she said, "After you..."

Julian strode away, walking fast. His straight back exuded an unparalleled grace.

And behind him.

Seraphina looked as if she had lost her soul, the smile completely gone from her face.

In the past, whenever encountering such things, he would always refute them!

Now...

Seraphina bit her lip, her mind in a chaotic mess. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Phoebe, she chased after him.
