Julian’s Stand-In Wife

“When will you tell your parents about the annulment?” Julian asked, standing at the doorway. He didn’t enter the room.

Cecilia, on the other hand, approached him willingly. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She suddenly pulled Julian forcefully into the room.

With a loud slam, she closed the door.

Being alone in a room with a woman other than Diana made Julian somewhat uncomfortable, especially when this woman was someone Noel held dear.

Noel had been with Julian for so long, and had only offered to leave because of Cecilia.

Noel had been by Julian’s side when he needed it the most. Noel had helped him build the foundation of Fulcher Inc., which had grown into what it was today.

Julian wasn’t an ungrateful person, and remembered Noel’s contributions well. Despite Noel’s resignation letter and his continued absence, Julian hadn’t hired a new assistant to replace him.

Even though Noel had no blood ties to him, the man was more family to Julian than Simon, who was his half-brother. Noel was also the only person Julian wanted as his assistant.

Julian looked at Cecilia, and took a few silent steps backward. However, Cecilia continued to advance relentlessly. It wasn’t until Julian had backed up against the wall that she finally stopped.
