Julian’s Stand-In Wife

He gave his assistant some instructions; very soon, a gift hamper was delivered to their doorstep.

“This is for Ms. Winngington. It’s packed full of items suitable for babies and pregnant ladies.”

Marcus said, “Don’t worry. Things will be different now that we’re officially together. Even if someone takes a photo of us, you don’t need to be scared of that.”

He added seriously, ‘TH always be standing right in front of you.”

“Ms. Ashlee, you’ve been in the workforce for so many years,” Marcus said with a charming smile.
