In the afternoon, Juliet and Karen signed a cooperation agreement with JAX. From now on, both parties are legal partners.
Juliet creates her own designs and can attach her own brand to promote them under the JAX name. Juliet is very flattered by the contents of this contract.
Meanwhile, in the current top-level office, Nick Huston appears to be sitting in a chair and talking on the phone with someone else.
"The cooperation has been established, but there is one thing I don't understand." Nick said, "You're the President of the City J business empire, and you care so much for a beginner designer like this. It's not like your style. I want to know why."
On the other side of the phone, Justin smiled lightly, answering him calmly but surely, "She will likely become my wife in the future."
On the way home from the JAX company, Juliet and Karen seemed to be in a good mood. There was upbeat music in the car, and the two of them sat smiling in the car, singing loudly.
"I already expected it! A man is just a stumbling block for you to succeed. Fuck Edward! Thanks to his cheating, you will become a successful designer!" Karen pouted in annoyance, "Well, just wait. He would definitely regret it! You will definitely get better and better!"
"Don't mention that unlucky star. Come on, keep having fun!" Juliet answered with a smile on her face.
As night drew near, the sky was full of orange, and the clouds seemed to be burning with fire.
"By the way, Juliet…." Karen calmed herself down first before suddenly asking in a hesitant tone, "You're not hiding anything from me, are you?"
"…." Juliet's excitement gradually waned at Karen's question, and she looked into her best friend's eyes with a hint of guilt. 'Did Karen notice anything?'
Juliet had no intention of hiding her current state of having to live in Justin's villa, but she didn't know how to tell Karen. Moreover, Justin's identity is too strong. Besides, she only needed to last for a month, then she could put all this aside and pretend as if nothing had happened.
Sensing the look in Karen's eyes, Juliet felt a little sad again. Then, after some hesitation, she prepared to confess, "Karen…."
"I don't want to hide anything from you. I just wanted to let you know that I'm currently dating someone." Before Juliet could speak, Karen had cut her off.
"Huh?" Juliet was shocked and confused. She was in a daze for a while and couldn't react.
Seeing her reaction, Karen lifted her lips and laughed. "Such a happy event happened today, I should have celebrated it with you, but today is his birthday, so…."
Juliet noticed Karen's focus at this point. She hastily parked the car on the side of the road, stomped on the brakes, and put it into P gear.
"Birthdays are very important. We can celebrate our success at any time. Do you want me to take you there?"
"No need." Karen smiled at Juliet. Then, she reached out and hugged her. "I'm just telling you, and I'll introduce him to you next time."
Juliet was taken aback. "Oh, okay."
Then, Karen got out of the car and left, while Juliet drove back to the rented house.
When she got home and opened the door, she saw everything was a mess. There was still a piece of cloth left that she had left this morning, and it flashed her mind back into the memory of how busy they had been yesterday.
This is like a dream. Overnight, she was pulled out of the mud that had trapped her for so long.
JAX's corporate partner was something she had never even thought of before, but now it was happening!
Karen, who has been single for years, also has a boyfriend. So this is really double happiness.
Juliet's face smiled with satisfaction, and she suddenly felt that her future and her entire world had become bright.
Outside, it was getting dark. Thinking of little JJ, who was still waiting for her to return to the mountain villa, Juliet's smile grew warmer, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of belonging.
After packing some of her stuff, Juliet went to the villa on the hill.
She was in a good mood. Along the way, she was heard humming a little song. Even the traffic jam didn't affect her excellent mood in the slightest.
Street lights in the city are already on, and traffic and heavy crowds at work hours also add to the noise on the streets.
Juliet, who was stuck on the road, didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, she waited quietly with her hands on the steering wheel, her face also illuminated by the giant LED screen on the roadside building.
Juliet averted her eyes and looked.
The night view of the city under the colorful lights and the advertisements on the screen stunned her.
'HERS' NEW WINTER PRODUCT EXHIBITION WILL BE HELD TOMORROW AT 6 PM.'
The huge array of fonts in the ad is eye-catching, and it also hurts Juliet's heart invisibly.
The ad reminded her that her boyfriend had been snatched from her, and she missed her early chance at 'HERS.'
Even though she now has a better partner than HERS, there is no denying that her efforts over the past year have ended in vain.
Juliet was dazed. She didn't recover until she was startled by the vehicle's horn behind her. She lifted her foot to release the brakes and continued forward, telling herself that a good mood should not be destroyed.
When Juliet returned to the villa, JJ was seen waiting for her in the living room.
As soon as he saw Juliet return, JJ put the toy and hurriedly ran towards her. "Juju! Juju!" JJ called out happily. His brows filled with excitement, and his little body quickly came to Juliet.
"JJ!" Juliet replied happily, crouching down and hugging him.
Then, feeling a familiar feeling in Juliet, JJ buried his head in the crook of Juliet's neck greedily with a satisfied expression on his face.
At this moment, their stomachs rumbled at the same time. A warm atmosphere broke out, and the two laughed.
"It's so late. You haven't eaten yet?" Juliet glanced at the clock. It's seven o'clock. "Is your Daddy not back yet?"
JJ shook his head, clinging to Juliet like a koala. "I want to wait for you to come back and eat your handmade food." His soft voice and warm words made Juliet feel sweet in her heart.
"Okay, I'll make it for you."
After she agreed, she stroked JJ's hair affectionately, put down her luggage, and went to the kitchen.
Immediately, a pot of fragrant noodles came out.
As she walked towards the dining room with the pot, she met a tall, handsome figure walking down the stairs.
They both looked at each other.
Juliet wasn't completely out of the shadows sleeping in the same bed as Justin, but she still greeted him, "Have you eaten? I cooked some noodles…."
"Okay."
Later, Justin and JJ sat face to face in the dining room, and Juliet went to get the cutlery.
The steaming noodle smoke wafted up his nose, and JJ wanted it so badly. Still, he gave Justin an angry look, dissatisfied with the interruption.
"Daddy, you obviously have dinner. So why did you come?" JJ smirked with a displeased expression.
Justin answered lightly with three words, "I'm hungry again."
This answer left JJ unable to think of a reason to kick him out.
At this time, Juliet appeared holding a bowl and fork.
Seeing her face filled with the spring breeze, Justin raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "Miss Juliet, you seem to be in a good mood?"
Juliet was taken aback for a moment. Does her expression look that obvious? However, she didn't try to resist and calmly continued to smile at him. "Mhmm."
Her sweet smile was like a breeze in spring and gently touched the hearts of the father and son who were looking at her.
