Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1406

There were some developments on Julian’s end, and at a crucial moment, Noel was needed to handle some important matters.

Julian wasn’t too confident if someone else did it; he preferred Noel’s involvement.

After some thought, Julian sent a message to Noel.

[How’s the blind date? Are you done with it?]

In the past, Julian would never use such a tone. Ever since he remarried Diana and started raising children together, his empathy had improved.

Even when giving orders, he would first consider the other person’s situation and convenience.

Such was the power of love. It could soften one’s edges.

Noel couldn’t help but think about the conversation he had just had with his blind date. They agreed that love was a good thing, but unfortunately, they might not be lucky enough to experience it.

Perhaps it was inaccurate to say that maybe…

Noel was sure he wouldn’t experience it again.

He didn’t believe that a blind date could solve the pain caused by love. Besides, it was just a casual conversation. How could one determine so quickly whether the other person was suitable?

He came here because Diana had kindly arranged it. He didn’t want to disappoint Diana. The significance of Diana and Julian’s existence to him wasn’t as simple as being his bosses who provided him with his salary to survive.

Julian valued him. In turn, Noel also valued Julian. Caring for Julian also meant that Noel cared for Julian’s family.

[It’s over. Any instructions, sir?] Noel replied.

Without much thought, Julian quickly texted the tasks Noel needed to do.

[Within an hour, I need you to collect this information and synchronize it with the technical department. Can you do it?]

Noel read through the requirements quickly. Soon, he nodded and replied, [I can do it.]

The difficulty of this task wasn’t in its complexity, but in its meticulous nature. It required someone to be attentive, careful, and delicate.

If he started now, he could definitely complete it in time.

Noel looked around at the coffee shop. Suddenly, he realized that it was an ideal place. Except for the second floor, where the blind dates were taking place, there were many available seats on the first floor.

Despite the crowd, when he focused on his work, he couldn’t hear the noisy chatter. Now, what he needed was to shake off the identity of someone on a blind date and return to his normal persona—a diligent worker. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He was about to leave.

But then, he paused.

Should he say something to the girl across from him?

Noel pondered. The girl had changed back to the childish voice, and maybe she had a favorable impression of him.

Upon careful consideration, he dismissed the idea. Even if there was a good impression, was he really going to pursue a relationship with someone else when Cecilia was in his heart?

Developing a relationship with someone else in such circumstances would be disrespectful to the girl.

Stopping here was fine.

With this in mind, Noel stood up and made his way to the first floor. The place was crowded, with lines extending outside onto the main street. Fortunately, there was a person just getting up in a corner. Noel quickly took the seat, and opened the laptop that he carried with him.

Today, Ginny was mainly in charge of the blind date on the second floor. There were many people, and she hadn’t noticed Noel leaving.

She waited for another five minutes to see everyone’s intentions towards each other. If both sides were interested, she would help lift the bamboo curtain.

As for whether the two parties could develop a relationship, that was beyond her responsibility.

Another man was sitting diagonally across from Cecilia, next to Noel.

His name was Larry Webb. He was slightly overweight, and was a local in Richburgh. He had a decent job in this first-tier city, and his family conditions were considered comfortable.
