Chapter 58 - 55 Don't Be So Cruel To Me

"We have to go." Seeing that Julian did not take his eyes off Nora the whole time, Asher was a little annoyed for no reason. After saying goodbye to Julian, he took Nora into the box.

Nora sat down at the table and asked calmly, "You know Julian Spencer?"

Asher said lightly, "Childhood neighbor."

"Are you close?" Nora asked.

Asher narrowed his eyes, "What? You seem interested in him."

"Of course not." Nora denied it quickly, "It's just that I have a friend who is a fan of Julian's. I didn't expect that the two of you know each other, so maybe you can ask him for an autographed photo for me later."

"Is that so?" Asher smiled noncommittally.

"Yeah." Nora nodded, lacking in self-confidence.

Asher minded it so much and reminded her several times of her own identity when she and Levi were nothing.

What would Asher do if he knew that Julian had been pursuing her for two whole years?

"What do you like to eat?" Asher handed the menu to Nora and asked in a clear voice.

"I have no preference. Just order whatever you like." Thinking of Julian, Nora was a little distracted, so she pushed the menu back to Asher.

Asher took the menu with his long and slender hands and ordered without thinking, "Beef tataki, soft shell crab, sweet shrimp sashimi…"

Nora was surprised that all these dishes were her favorites.

There was no way that she wouldn't know if something had happened to Star Entertainment.

"Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom." Nora stood up, and somehow, she suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach.

Asher answered lightly, his eyebrows furrowing in a frown.

He had a feeling that there was something wrong with Nora, especially when she kept talking about Julian.

Just as Nora reached the door to the bathroom, she suddenly saw a tall figure standing over there, which was no other than Julian.

Julian was wearing sunglasses. His tall body was leaning against the wall, his fingers were holding a cigar, and the smoke at his fingertips was flickering.

In the smoke, his handsome face was filled with light sadness.

As soon as Julian saw Nora, he immediately put out the cigarette between his fingers.

It was because Nora did not like the smell of smoke.

"Nora, why are you avoiding me? Why didn't you answer my phone calls? Why didn't you reply to my emails?" Julian's eyes were tinged with a bit of melancholy, staring intently at the woman in front of him.

"No. I have been so busy that I haven't checked my emails at all these days." Nora said with a smile.

In fact, Nora knew what the contents of the email were without having to read it.

Over the past two years, Julian had written countless love letters to her.

However, she was not attracted to him.

To Nora, Julian was a good workmate as well as a good friend, but he could never be her lover.

Because he was not her type.

"Is that so?" Julian's eyes darkened.

Nora nodded her head hastily, raised the corners of her lips as she asked, "Aren't you in Hollywood? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Is it business? Or is it personal?"

"If I don't come back soon, you'll be someone else's wife." Julian suddenly straightened his body and said slowly.

Looking at the girl in front of him that he had been loving for two whole years, Julian's heart was filled with deep emotion.

Two years ago, the Spencer Group had been in a financial crisis and the entertainment company of the Spencer Group had been between the beetle and the block, while Julian had also been in a state of collapse.

Julian had met Nora by chance one day.

At that time, Nora had still been studying in France. She had been interested in the entertainment industry, so she had invested in the Spencer Group and had set up the new Star Entertainment.

To the public, Julian was the boss of Star Entertainment and the number one movie star.

Only a few senior leaders of the company knew that Nora was actually the big boss behind the scenes.

In the beginning, it had been Nora who had encouraged Julian to pull himself together and had brought the Spencer Group from a dangerous situation to the right track, and it had also been Nora who had encouraged him to act and had given him a lot of resources, making him a popular movie star.

When Julian thought of this, his heart that loved Nora so much was beating unusually fast.

He stepped forward and approached Nora, his deep eyes staring into her eyes, "Nora, are you really engaged to Asher?"

Nora sighed softly, not knowing what to say to Julian.

In fact, she had made it very clear to him before that they were not suitable for each other.

But Julian didn't listen to her and still did what he wanted, "You don't have to love me, but you can't stop me from loving you."

Nora thought about it and said, "This matter is a bit complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. How about this, let's set up a time to talk about it."

"I just need an answer. Are you really engaged to Asher?" Julian insisted on asking.

"Yes." Nora pressed her lips together before opening her mouth to answer it.

Although she and Asher had only signed a three-month contract, at this moment, her identity was indeed Asher's fiancée.

So, it was not a lie to Julian, was it?

She didn't want to give Julian any more hope. Since Julian and Asher were good friends... he would let go of her, wouldn't he?

Nora's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Julian incredibly hurt, "Why? Is Asher better than me?"

"There is no good or bad, but only suitable or unsuitable." After thinking about it, Nora said in a deep voice, "Julian, I have already said that we are not right for each other."

"No, it can't be!" An unspeakable bitterness passed across Julian's handsome face. He suddenly reached out his hands and grabbed Nora's shoulders, "Nora, will you give me a chance? I will definitely do better than Asher and I will prove to you that I am more perfect for you than he is!"

"Julian, let go of me!" Nora struggled, but Julian held on to her even tighter.

"Nora, don't be so cruel to me, okay?" Julian's voice was slightly trembling.

Nora shook Julian off fiercely and said in exasperation, "Why don't you just get it?"

Asher waited in the box for a long time but did not see Nora return, so he stood up and walked straight to the bathroom.

From a distance, he saw Nora and Julian together and the two of them were in such an intimate position....
