Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 208
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 208 She was worried she had busted her cover and that Julian could tell that she was pregnant. âHmm.â
She nodded and quickly added, âItâs all your fault for cultivating such a bad habit. You used to come home from work late and bring supper back home. Iâve gotten used to it.â
Her words effectively shut Julian up.
âYouâ¦â
It was a rare sight to see a man as cold as he was riled up by her words. His heart felt like it was stabbed by something. âGo and rest.â
Seeing that he was no longer looking at her, Diana heaved a sigh of relief. âOkay.â
But when she went upstairs, she belatedly realized thatâ¦she had accidentally brought up the past.
The feelings and affections she had suppressed in herself surfaced once again and almost drowned her.
Diana forced herself not to think about those memories. âTheyâre nothing but illusions. Julian treated you so well because he saw you as a replacement. Thereâs nothing to yearn for at all.â
She warned herself again and again.
After snacking on some food, she felt better again.
Diana rubbed her belly, which gave her a sense of comfort. Her voice gentled as she crooned, âMy little angels, good night.â
She had a restful night.
She slept so well, she almost overslept when she woke up the next morning.
It was her first day of work today. She didnât want to report for work late and leave a bad impression.
That was especially since she ordered a small cake from a bakery on the first floor of the Esteem Creations building, which she wanted to present as a gift to all her colleagues.
When she rushed all the way to Esteem Creations, she found out how narrow the path that she shared with her nemesis was.
Kaylaâ¦had joined the same company too.
At that moment, the office was already drowning with fresh flowers and cakes.
Diana stood outside the glass doors, looking in at everyone crowding around and fussing over Kayla.
The corners of her lips twitched.
She still had to report for work, and she still had to face whatever that was coming anyway.
Diana took a deep breath as she tried to pretend that she didnât see Kayla. She walked along the side of the room toward the managerâs office to go through employment procedures.
But Kayla walked toward her and exclaimed, âDiana!â An exaggerated smile was plastered on her face.
âYou really came to work! I was so shocked when I saw your name on the managerâs list. What a coincidence.
Todayâs my first day at work too!â
With that, she casually looked at the cake in Dianaâs hands and said, âIs this for our colleagues?â
Before Diana could respond, Kayla began gathering everyone around. âThis is my sister, Diana Winnington. Do take good care of her, okay?â
Since things have progressed to this point, Diana had no choice but to play along and distribute the cake she bought. âHello everyone, I am Diana. Pleased to meet everyone.â
But no one came to receive her cake.
âIs that the cake she bought from the café downstairs?â
âYeah, the packaging and cake designs are the same.â
âI donât want any of that. What Kayla bought is way better! Those are cakes from Michelinâstarred bakeries in Richburgh. One of those cost as much as ten of what Diana bought from downstairs. I donât care for her cakes.â
âMe too!â Someone glared at Diana indignantly. âKaylaâs so poised and gracious, but Diana⦠So what if she looks like Kayla? Her lifeâs nothing compared to Kaylaâs. I heard that President Fulcher invested in our company for Kaylaâs sake. Thatâs what I call an outstanding husband!â
Julian Fulcherâ¦.
Did he really go to such great lengths just for Kayla?
They couldnât even wait to call each other husband and wife.
She was truly redundant as Mrs. Fulcher solely in nameâ¦
Diana smiled selfâderisively as she looked down and kept the cakes back into the box. She turned around and silently went into the office.
When she opened the door, she saw Julian talking to the manager in the room.
The manager was nodding and bowing away as he said profusely, âDonât worry! Weâll take good care of Mrs. Fulcher, and weâll let her have the position of chief designer as we promised.â
Julian didnât correct his address of Kayla as Mrs. Fulcher and didnât greet Diana either. Instead, he simply walked past Diana without a word.
Indeedâ¦
She was really a smelly piece of dung to him whenever Kayla was around.
Dianaâs grip tightened over the cake box, forcing herself to be nonchalant about it. She squeezed out a smile at the manager and said, âHello, Iâm Diana Winnington, here to report for work.â
âI know.â The managerâs mood clearly sank the moment Julian left. âYou are Mrs. Fulcherâs sister. She told me about it just now. She told me to look after you once you report for work.â
