Chapter 191

Chapter 191 Nancy Faces Bullying Nancy barely slept the entire night, knowing that Nicholas was on a flight for over ten hours and his phone was likely switched off. Still, she couldn’t resist checking for any messages, Despite the lack of rest, Nancy greeted her work at the hospital the next day with great energy. The morning was chaotic, leaving Nancy with hardly a moment to drink water.

Finally catching her breath after a busy morning, Nancy received a call from the hospital office, informing her that Julian was looking for her.

To be honest, Nancy felt a bit anxious. She knew she had been too straightforward with her words.

As an employee, especially as an intern, she should never offend the boss, let alone the top boss. She wasn’t sure if there would be any consequences for her actions.

So, when Nancy went to meet Julian, her heart felt unusually heavy, and she was extremely cautious.

Knock, knock...

Nancy knocked on the office door, but there was no response for quite some time.

She knocked a few more times, but still received no reply.

Just as she turned around to leave, the door suddenly opened, and Julian’s cold voice broke the silence. “Come in.”

Nancy had to turn around and re-enter the office.

“Ju...”

Before Nancy could finish saying his name, her wrist was suddenly caught by a strong force. The next moment, she was thrown against the door, her back hitting it forcefully.

“Ouch... That hurts...”

In pain, Nancy couldn’t help but cry out.

She realized something terrible was about to happen, and just as she tried to leave, Julian had already grabbed both of her hands, pressed her against the door, and pinned her there.

“Julian, please let me go.” Nancy looked at him, her tone still relatively polite.

“Let you go?” Julian sneered.

Then he looked at her and said, “You’re Nancy, right? I really underestimated you. You’ve played your cards well. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, you probably would have completely fooled 1/4 me.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’ve clarified the misunderstanding about liking you and clinging to you. It’s just a misunderstanding. I have no feelings for you. Please, Julian, don’t overreact.

“No feelings?” Julian sneered again. “Is it because I’m just an associate director and my status isn’t noble enough? Is that why I’m not as good as that man?”

“What man?” Nancy was puzzled by his words.

“The man who picked you up at the hospital entrance yesterday. I saw the car. It’s a global limited. edition, and it’s certainly not cheap.

With Julian’s words, Nancy instantly understood what he meant.

“Heh... Now it was Nancy’s turn to sneer. “I never expected you to be so shallow.”

“What did you say? Shallow?” Julian was so enraged that he glared at her. “You’re the shallow one here! You think I’m inferior to that man in terms of power, so you immediately change your target. If I’m not mistaken, your target certainly isn’t just me and him.”

Julian.” Nancy addressed him directly, watching him with exasperation. “Please, don’t label others as shallow just because you are. Are you so certain it was the expensive car that caught my attention?”

“What else could it be? Love at first sight?” Julian scoffed.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you. Let me say it again, I have a boyfriend. The man you’re talking about is my boyfriend, and I love him deeply. It has nothing to do with his influence, status, or wealth. Even if you were a thousand times or ten thousand times wealthier than him, I still wouldn’t be interested in you.”

“What did you say?”

This time, Julian was truly infuriated. He reached out, pinching Nancy’s chin.

His grip was strong, almost too forceful, and it caused tears to well up in Nancy’s eyes. She even heard her bones creaking under the pressure.

Julian was genuinely pushed to the brink of losing his composure. No one had ever spoken to him like this before.

She was too bold, constantly challenging his limits.

“You’ve already left a bad impression on me. Do you really think I’d believe anything you say? I’m afraid even your so-called boyfriend is just a lie, made up to deceive me.” Julian pinched her chin, speaking harshly.

“I’m not lying to you. He really is my boyfriend. If you don’t believe me, I can prove it right now.”

2/4 “Prove it? How do you intend to prove it?”

“I can call him right now.”

“Alright, let’s see.”

“Please release me first,” Nancy said.

Julian readily complied, letting go of Nancy without a word.

With some space, Nancy immediately took a few deep breaths, then dialed Nicholas’ number.

As she made the call, Nancy still felt quite confident. Given the timing, he should have arrived by now.

However, when the first call and the second call both went unanswered, Nancy started to feel anxious.

“So, the lie unravels so quickly?” Julian stood aside, mocking.

Nancy held her phone tightly and continued to make the call.

However, after three calls, the results were all the same. The calls all went to voicemail.

Julian’s mockery grew. “I told you it was a lie, and lies are bound to be exposed.”

“I didn’t lie. He really is my boyfriend.” Nancy stubbornly resisted.

She bit her lip, looking at Julian with determination, her gaze unwavering.

Julian, however, grew increasingly angry at this look. He reached out, once again gripping Nancy’s chin. “Staring at me won’t change anything. A lie is still a lie.”

“I’ll say it again, I didn’t lie.”

This time, Nancy’s tone was even more resolute and unyielding, without any trace of retreat.

This statement enraged Julian.

This woman!Clearly, she wants to attract my attention and climb up the social ladder. She used so many schemes, even pretending to be superior. The more I look at her, the angrier I become. Fine. You want to pretend to be superior?

Now, he was interested. He was going to expose her lies and her true nature, then witness her pitiful appearance when she failed.

With this in mind, Julian felt his heart pounding with excitement.

He reached out, tugging at the collar of his shirt. Suddenly, he took a step, heading towards Nancy with a dangerous intent.

3/4 D Nancy quickly sensed his abnormality and cautiously retreated.

However, she was cornered, with the door right behind her. There was no way for her to retreat further.

Julian continued to approach, his eyes growing even more menacing. The expression on his face. made Nancy feel terrified.

Nancy clutched herself tightly, unable to suppress the slight tremble. “Julian, please step Take a moment to calm down, I implore you.”
