As bespoke, he reached over Julie to pick up the bowl of hangown soupon the kitchen counter and took a gulp of it.
“It’s pretty decent. Did you make it often in the past?” he asked casually

Lucian pinned her with his gaze, causing her heart to thump will in her chest.
She really was not good at hing
She looked now, attempting to change the topic. “I’ve delivered you your clothes, so I–I’ll be lowing first

For sometime after that, Julie and Amaya worked together to prepare for starting up a business
Once they had nailed down the location for their office, they started applying for the various documentation required without pause. It took nearly half a month for them to get all their documents in order.
As Amarawatched an employee install the last computer in their office, she excitedly reached out to hug li
“This place is going to be our future battlefield, Jules!” she exclaimed proudly
Julie swept her gare over the office space that boasted a space of less than 50 square meters. She could not help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.
“When do we open for business?” she asked eagerly.
“I got an expert to help find us a lucky day for opening a business,” Amaya replied with a smile. “It’s tomorrow. Oh, right! Do you need to inform your friends about it?” Julie paused for a moment, Lucian’s figure subconsciously surfacing in her mind.
Ever since she led his place with her tail tucked between her legs, she had found herself unable to face him and had thus been wolding him for the better half of a month. Now, she was starting to feel conflictedagain

She sighed softly, feeling a little disappointed.
Right at that moment, someone pushed open the door of the studio
She looked up, her eyes boming in on the doorway, only to see Zachary approaching her. He had a bouquet of flowers in his arms and a gentle smile on his face.
“This is for you, files,” he said softly, presenting the bouquet to her.
Julie did not accept the bouquet immediately, instead looking at him with confusion.
She was bewildered, not understanding why he was suddenly giving her flowers.
Zachary smiled helplessly and explained, “I don’t mean anything else by it. I just wanted to wish you all the best in starting your business.”
Jube was stunned for a moment before she smiled faintly and reached out to take the bouquet from him.
She angled her body slightly and said in a quiet voice, “Thank you How did you know we were opening for business today?
Zachary smiled faintly, replying in an equally soft voice, “I saw your Instagram post”
A trash of astonishment flashed across Julie’s eyes.
She might have made an ingtagram post, but she had not included an address.
As it sensing het doubt, Zachary elaborated, “Amaya told me ”
