Chapter 656
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âI fell in love with him first, and I met him first. Most of all, we got into a relationship firstâ¦â
And yet, she wasnât the woman who got engaged with Vans.
Nina was about to say something more, but very soon, she composed herself and stopped talking about things between her and Vans.
Diana wanted to pursue things further, but upon sensing that Nina wasnât willing to talk about it anymore, she didnât push it.
Nina went on, âOh, yes. I forgot to tell you that Oliverâs no longer in the emergency room.â
âHas he been promoted?â
Did he become busier because of a promotion?
âHow could any other department be busier than the ER?â Because of Vans, Nina gained a better understanding of things in the hospital. âThatâs the most tiring department in the entire hospital! Youâre right that heâs been promoted, but actually, itâs almost equivalent to resigning. He only comes to the hospital for half a day each week at the highest-level specialist clinic, and he only does consultations for three hours each time. According to Vans, itâs tough to get a number with him.â
âWhat does he spend his time doing, then?â If he only stayed at the hospital three hours each week, why wouldnât he have time to go with Diana to look for Fanny?
âI have no idea.â Nina shook her head. âHe seems to have become more mysterious with his whereabouts all of a sudden.â
A thought came to Ninaâs mind. âDiana, I feel that all of these rich heirsâ¦arenât simple at all.â
There was fatigue in her voice.
Dianaâs heart ached as she witnessed the ever-optimistic Nina lamenting. Mixed feelings arose in her heart. âIf you really want to be with Vans, I can ask Julianâ¦â
âDonât.â Nina suddenly turned solemn. âDonât interfere in things between us.â
In matters of the heart, no one could make decisions on another personâs behalf.
Nina was insistent on this.
Diana nodded. âAlright, then.â
They began chatting leisurely. When they hung up, Diana felt rather melancholic.
They were inching closer to the new year.
After the new year, she would be 22 years of age.
Everyone was growing older, and hearts were changing.
Diana sighed, and decided that she had to see Fanny. She was still unable to contact Fanny*s manager, and finally decided to call the front desk of Fannyâs studio.
Upon hearing Dianaâs name, the person on the other end sounded as if she was hit by something.
Her voice immediately turned respectful. âMrs. Fulcher?â
Diana stuttered, remembering that she and Julian hadnât gone through formal remarriage procedures yet.
But she responded anyway. âYes, itâs me.â
Mentioning her name was effective indeed, as she immediately got a response. âIâve already told my boss. She said that you can go on-site to look for her directly.â
Thereâs no time like today.
Diana pondered for a moment before tidying up her profit and loss reports and annual work schedule summary before heading off to look for Fanny.
By the time Diana reached the site, Fanny was in the midst of filming.
She was as beautiful as she was before.
But she wasnât in as good a state as she used to be, as she was clearly exhausted.
Diana found a spot to sit down, her worry for Fanny growing.
Her brows were still furrowed when Fanny sat down opposite her. âDo you really need money?â
Diana decided to cut straight to the chase.
Fanny looked at Diana in shock. Very soon, she smiled and said, âYes.â
She asked someone for help to twist open the cap of a bottle. âVery, very much in need of money. I need lots of it.â
Diana sighed and handed the reports to Fanny. âMy studioâs been doing well over the past half a year, and Iâve earned you quite a bit of money. The return on investment has reached 20%.â
That was shockingly good results.
Surprised flashed past Fannyâs eyes. She was about to take the reports from Diana, but Diana said to her, âIâll work even harder from now on. Can you not work yourself so hard, please?â
If things went on like this, Fanny might exhaust all her energy and spark as a celebrity.
Fannyâs pupils dilated, moved by Dianaâs genuine care and concern for her.
