Looking at Susan's reddened face, a smile crept onto Julian’s face, "What's wrong? Are you lovestruck?”
Although it was true... Susan still rolled her eyes," Shameless."
"No need to be shy," Julian said calmly. "You're not the first to be lovestruck for me, and you won't be the last."
Susan felt speechless towards this man’s confidence.
"Was the theme for the first round of the competition released today?" Fortunately, Julian got distracted quickly.
"Yep," Susan had a sudden burst of energy at the mention of the competition. "It's quite challenging -the theme is a mystery. I just had some inspiration, I plan to... and then..."
Susan began raving about her ideas.
After a while, she suddenly stopped and said apologetically, "Sorry, you are probably not interested i n this."
"No, I am. I'm interested in everything involving you," Julian said nonchalantly.
AAAAAH.
Susan’s body temperature began rising again.
Could this rascal just stop flirting with her already?
Susan blushed and said, "You... Are you busy today? Feeling tired?”
"It's fine," Julian brushed it aside. Then, he looked at Susan in her eyes, "I'm not busy or tired, just missing you a little too much."
AAAAAH.
Again!
Susan felt overwhelmed with embarrassment.
"You... You are coming back soon anyway," she said quietly.
Julian sighed, "A day without you feels like three years."
Susan examined Julian’s expression. He said he was neither busy nor tired, but he looked incredibly exhausted.
She felt sorry for him, "Julian, you should go to sleep soon. You still have work tomorrow."
Julian rubbed his eyes, "But I'll miss you if I don't see you."
Susan's face turned a shade redder, "You can look at m e as much as you want when you get back."
"Promise?" Julian's smile deepened.
"Yes," Susan nodded shyly.
"Well, then, I am really looking forward to the day I return," Julian spoke slowly, teasing her with his
burning gaze.
Susan didn't dare to look at his eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "So, that's it for today?"
"Okay. But, remember what I said previously. Stay away from Chance Hamilton!" Julian said.
He was still jealous?
Susan felt speechless, "What are you even worried about? Chance cannot even be compared to you."
Julian's expression brightened up immediately.
He was satisfied, "That's true. With a hubby like me, you probably can't have your eyes on anyone else anymore."
Julian's proud face felt a little annoying, but Susan could not help but pull a funny face, "Are you not worried anymore? Then go to sleep."
Susan was going to end the call as she spoke.
"Wait!" Julian stopped her. Then, he smiled and said," Goodnight, Susie."
Susan’s expression softened, "Goodnight."
Late at night, Julian stood before the window wall of his hotel room and leisurely took a final sip of his red wine. His gaze deepened.
For the first time in his life, he felt lovesick.
Susie!
Julian sighed softly.
