Chloe found Thomas’ phone call very strange.
She sent a message to ask if something had happened.
Thomas told her to check Julia’s social media posts.
Chloe looked.
And after she finished, she was stunned for a long time.
So that was the relationship between Miss Land and Brother Thompson?
She just hadn’t expected it at all.
Chloe asked Thomas for Julia’s WeChat ID and that evening, she sent a friend request to Julia.
After her request was accepted, Chloe sent Julia a message.
Chloe, “Miss Land, may I invite you for afternoon tea tomorrow?
Are you available?”
Julia read the message, somewhat curious about what Chloe wanted, “Sure.”
Chloe, “I’ll come to your brother’s company to find you tomorrow.”

The next morning when she woke up, Julia took a shower to freshen up.
She planned to make breakfast today, so she got up half an hour early on purpose.
Right after she opened her bedroom door, she saw James Thompson walking in the door.
He was dressed in a white shirt and black suit pants, carrying a bag in his hand.
But most noticeable was the key in his right hand.
Julia crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame, her brows slightly raised, “Keys, where did those come from?
Huh?”
James bent down to change into slippers, “Sophia made a copy for me.”
Julia huffed, sure that Sophia had been tricked.
“I bought breakfast, soy milk, and buns,” he lifted the bag, placing the breakfast on the table, “This place’s soy milk is famous.”
Julia walked over, about to say thanks, but then James encircled her waist and pinned her against the wall.
His fingers traced her eyebrows and eyes, his gaze darkening.
Julia blinked, lowering her voice, “Sophia’s at home.”
He tightened his grip around her waist, pressing her closer to him, “To your room.”
Julia smiled, “Make it quick, you only have twenty minutes, I need to go to work.”
James…
“”

By the time Julia arrived at work, she was already two hours late.
She carried coffee into Thomas’.
Thomas was boxing at the moment, with a punching bag in the office.
Lifting his gaze, he saw her, “Secretary Land, there’s something I need to discuss with you later.”
His voice was slightly breathless; he must have been at it for a while.
His muscular arms were well-defined.
His fists hit the punching bag forcefully.
Julia placed the coffee on the table and stood there for a moment until Thomas stopped.
He grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat from his neck, his suntanned skin exuding even more power after the exercise.
He sat on the sofa and lazily lifted his eyelids to look at Julia.
“My cousin asked me for your WeChat ID yesterday, and I gave it to her.”
Julia looked at him, “Mm, I had guessed as much.”
“If my cousin asks me to fire you, I will agree to her,” Thomas said seriously, his eyes stern.
“I understand.”
Julia raised her eyebrows and smiled; she found it reasonable.
Thomas and Chloe were cousins, and she was just a secretary, an outsider.
“As long as you understand.”
Julia nodded and went to the desk to take the signed documents, then walked out of the office to work.
During her break, Julia sent a message to Austin, inquiring about the progress of his album recording.
Julia was a capable Hunter; she patiently awaited the day Arabella Shaw would fall from her pedestal.
However, Austin’s situation was in fact not looking great.
When he saw Julia’s message, it was like grasping at a lifeline.
“Hannah, I think I need Miss Land’s help,” Austin said tiredly, rubbing his forehead and seeking Hannah’s opinion, “I think Miss Land will have a way.”
He had successfully bought the rights to record Julia’s song, and everything had been going smoothly until yesterday when the company informed him to postpone the album release.
Winchester Place was simply not leaving him any room to breathe.
Hannah paced back and forth, undecided, and said, “I think Miss Land probably plans to go against Arabella Shaw.
If you keep asking her for help, you might have to stand on her side in the future.”
“You have to know that standing behind Arabella Shaw is the Quarter Family.”
Austin Langston chuckled, “Hannah, in this world, there’s no such thing as only wanting benefits without having to give something in return.”
Hannah stopped walking, “Are you sure?”
Austin Langston nodded, “And I’m not even sure if Miss Land will help me.”
After all, she was just a little-known actress at the moment.
Austin Langston called Julia Land.
When Julia Land received Austin Langston’s call, she raised an eyebrow.
She answered the call, asking the person on the other line to wait a moment as she rode the elevator to the rooftop, which was currently deserted.
“Miss Langston, what can I do for you?” Julia Land’s voice was casual yet gentle.
Austin Langston took a deep breath and said, “Miss Land, Winchester Place has put my album release on hold.
Can you help me?”
Julia Land said with a smile, “Miss Langston, I’m no philanthropist.”
Although she still adhered to her own ethical bottom line, she had no desire to play the saint.
Austin Langston asked softly, “What are your terms?”
“In a couple of days, an agency will go to Winchester Place to negotiate your contract termination, and then you will become an artist under that agency.”
Austin Langston paused for a moment, “Okay, thank you.”
Austin Langston had agreed to Julia Land’s demands.
After hanging up the phone, Julia Land paid Austin Langston’s penalty fee for breaching the contract, which amounted to a substantial sum of money.
Sometimes, Julia Land found the whole thing rather amusing.
She had never imagined that her divorce settlement could be used against Arabella Shaw, the future Mrs.
Quarter.
Chloe Sullivan came to the company at four in the afternoon to find Julia Land.
She smiled at Julia Land, “Secretary Land, do you have a moment?
If you’re busy, I can wait for you.”
Julia Land checked the time, “I can leave work at five-thirty.”
Chloe Sullivan blinked, “That’s easy.
I’ll just have a word with Thomas.”
Julia Land nodded and started to gather her things.
Chloe Sullivan went into Thomas Sullivan’s office, let him know, “I’ve got a chat scheduled with Secretary Land, we’re off work now.”
Thomas Sullivan took a glance at her, waved his hand, and didn’t refuse.
They found an open-air café.
Chloe Sullivan didn’t drink coffee and ordered a glass of milk.
Julia Land ordered a cup of unsweetened coffee, bitter to the taste.
Chloe Sullivan quietly observed Julia Land.
She had to admit, Julia Land was truly beautiful.
Not just her appearance, but her aura too—an aura that was not ladylike, not gentle, not cold, but somewhat enchanting and languorous.
Chloe Sullivan took a few sips of her milk, put down the cup, and grabbed a napkin to wipe her lips.
She said, “I saw on Weibo, did you start going out with Brother Thompson?”
Upon hearing this, Julia Land looked up and smiled, “Yes.”
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Chloe Sullivan nodded, “I really didn’t expect it to be you.”
After all, Julia Land was a woman who had been divorced.
“The Quarter Family is no match for the Thompson Family, and even our Sullivan Family falls short when compared to the Thompsons.”
Julia Land crossed her legs and looked at Chloe Sullivan, “A boyfriend and girlfriend being together doesn’t necessarily mean they have to get married.”
Chloe Sullivan was surprised for a moment, then her expressive eyes sparkled with an alluring smile.
Just then.
Julia Land’s phone on the table rang.
The caller ID showed James Thompson.
Julia Land excused herself to Chloe Sullivan and answered the call.
A man’s voice came through, slightly husky, “I wanted to have dinner with you tonight, but I won’t be able to get off work until late.”
“Little Pear,” the man suddenly lowered his voice.
Julia Land, “Yes?”
James Thompson asked with a chuckle, “Would you bring me a love-filled bento box?”
“Sure.”
After hanging up the phone, Julia Land said to Chloe Sullivan, “Sorry, I need to go grocery shopping; I can’t keep chatting.”
Chloe Sullivan nodded, glancing at Julia Land’s phone in her hand and said with a smile, “Alright, we’ll chat more another time.”
