CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 129: HERE TO APOLOGIZE TO PRESIDENT LANCASTER

Felix Ford dealt with the reporters at Zenith’s entrance, and upon returning, he saw Julian Lancaster’s second assistant, Marcus Walsh, clutching his stomach as he walked out from the direction of the restroom.

It was just the two of them at the company today. Felix had gone down to deal with the reporters, and unexpectedly, Marcus was having stomach issues.

Felix asked with concern, "Marcus, what’s wrong with you?"

"I don’t know what I ate today, but I’ve already made two runs to the restroom. My legs feel weak, oh! I can’t talk; I have to go again..."

As he spoke, Marcus clutched his stomach and dashed towards the restroom.

Felix shook his head sympathetically and walked towards Julian Lancaster’s office. As he reached the office door, which was slightly ajar, Felix could see what was happening inside.

In the office, Nina Sinclair was standing with her back to the door.

Julian Lancaster was sitting in the chair, and the two had unexpectedly run into each other!

Oh no, could it be that President Lancaster’s identity is exposed?

At this moment, Felix noticed Julian Lancaster’s casual glance his way. As the top assistant by the CEO’s side, Felix’s ability to read people was exceptional.

With one look from Julian, Felix immediately understood what he meant.

Felix hurriedly turned around and dashed into the restroom, "Marcus, get your ass out here!"

Marcus, having a rather satisfying time in the restroom, clenched up in shock at Felix’s shout, and unhappily said, "There are so many stalls here, yet you insist on taking mine? Are you doing this on purpose? I’m not coming out!"

No time to explain with urgency at hand, Felix directly kicked open the restroom door.

Boom—

With a loud bang, the door was forcibly opened.

Marcus looked shocked, covering up key areas, "What the hell, you freak!"

"Get up quickly and come to President Lancaster’s office with me."

"For what? Hey... let go! At least let me wipe my butt first!"

Last time Nina Sinclair caught them with Julian Lancaster and mistook Marcus for President Lancaster. Felix laughed about it for quite a while afterward.

No one expected Marcus to be of use so soon.

Nina Sinclair hesitated and spoke, "Julian Lancaster, are you..." President Lancaster?

Before she could finish, the office door opened.

She turned her head and saw Marcus and Felix coming in together. Marcus gathered his courage and shouted, "Why are you sitting in my seat? Have you eaten bear’s heart and leopard’s gall to try to usurp the throne?"

Julian Lancaster almost admitted his identity earlier but thought about how angry Nina Sinclair would be, fearing she’d return to her old flame. He held back.

Unexpectedly, Marcus saved the day, quickly getting into character and stood up respectfully to step aside.

"President Lancaster, my apologies."

Marcus walked over and plopped down in the chair Julian had just occupied.

Nina Sinclair looked at Marcus incredulously, his image overlapping with the vague shadow in her mind.

She thought Julian Lancaster couldn’t be so bored as to disguise his identity just to tease her. It seemed like an unlikely thing indeed.

No doubt about it, this person is President Lancaster.

Last time, she even said the person was ugly, but his presence is vastly inferior compared to Julian Lancaster.

Julian Lancaster walked to Nina Sinclair, "What are you doing here? How did you get up?"

He remembered Zenith’s front desk staff were professionally competent and wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake, allowing unknown persons to come up unannounced.

"I came up from the underground parking."

"You know the elevator password?"

Julian couldn’t help but suspect whether he had set it too simply, allowing it to be easily cracked.

"I tried using your birthday, the elevator password is set by you, right?"

"..."

Indeed, he set it, but never thought Nina Sinclair would have such an unexpected idea, leaving him unsure what to say.

The password needed changing, next time switch to a facial recognition system.

"Do you know there’s a big issue?" Nina Sinclair said worriedly, "Some reporters know about the engagement party incident and they’ve come knocking. I’m here to apologize to President Lancaster."
