Chapter 626 It Was None Other Than Queenie!
T Corporation.
Ever since the failed reunion banquet, Julie had been in low spirits.
Usually, she would be laughing and chattering. Now, she was quiet and reserved. She did not focus onher work, and she frequently made mistakes.
In the afternoon, Bianca corrected several critical figures in her work.
After that, she tried asking her, "Julie, you don't seem to be in your element. How about you take abreak for a few days?"
Bianca felt sorry for Julie that she did not get to reunite with her birth parents because of her, but shedid not regret it.
If Julie was not truly Jack and Queenie's birth daughter, it was better to expose the lie now than later.
Even so, Bianca was surprised to find out that she was Queenie's birth daughter.
To her, the Raynes were her family. That was why she was not too keen on returning to the Normanfamily even after she knew the truth.
Julie was different. She was obsessed with finding her birth parents.
Julie shook her head and forced a smile. 'I'm fine, thanks. I can still bear with it, Bianca. I'll Sorry totrouble you.
She also knew that she had been making many mistakes in her work. Fortunately, Bianca double-checked her designs and caught her mistakes. Otherwise, she would definitely be scolded by the
department lead.
The past few days had been horrible to her.
Earlier, she was still immersed in the Cinderella-like fantasy of becoming a noble princess. However, inthe blink of an eye, her dreams were shattered like a bubble. Now, there was nothing to be proudabout.
She could not afford to lose her job at T Corporation.
Bianca sent the correct design drafts back to Julie's mailbox and told her," Don't mention it. You've alsohelped me before. Don't worry, everything will turn out alright. How about we go shopping with Ninatomorrow? There's an international fashion exhibition at the exhibition center tomorrow. Shall we goand take a look?”
Seeing Bianca's concerned gaze, Julie could not decline her invitation." Mm, alright, but..."
She glanced at Bianca's bulging stomach and hesitated. "Are you sure you can go shopping with thatstomach?"
Bianca rubbed her stomach and smiled gently. "It's fine. Pregnant women need to exercise so that thedelivery process will be easier. I'll just have to take a few more breaks, and you and Nina can walkaround."
Nina overheard their conversation. She put aside her work on hand and joined in the conversation."Don't worry, Julie. There are two of us to take care of Bianca. Also, it's almost the fall season soon,and we'll have to refresh our wardrobe. Sigh, it's such a bother to buy clothing for cold weather. Winterclothing is more expensive than summer clothing. I feel sorry for my shriveled wallet!"
It was always interesting to have Nina around.
The three women met up the next morning in the shopping mall.novelbin
When they stepped out of the mall, they were holding several bulging shopping bags each.
Meanwhile, Sean became their porter.
Looking at how excited the three women were, he could not understand why women loved shopping somuch.
He also did not understand how a simple pair of pants could be categorized into cropped pants,straight-leg pants, bell-bottomed pants, or hot pants. There were also different types of skirts, such aspleated skirts, dress skirts, denim skirts, and one-step skirts. It was an educational experience for him.
To them, they were all the same.
However, Sean was not a man of many words. He only had to do his job.
He would occasionally steal glances at Julie, though the latter was immersed in the ecstasy ofshopping and did not look at him at all.
Sean was dejected, though he knew the differences between him and the young woman.
He might be an ex-special forces soldier, and he was paid well as Bianca's bodyguard and driver, buthe came from an unremarkable family, and he was only a high school graduate.
Even though he was enrolled in the military academy, he felt inferior to Julie, who had a bachelor'sdegree from a renowned university.
Julie was beautiful, modern, trendy, and delicate. She was the typical urban white-collar worker. Heknew that he was not a good match for her, but he was enthralled by her.
Julie knew that Sean had feelings for her, but she pretended not to notice. 1
She had a very clear impression of what her future husband should be. He had to be either wealthy orinfluential. She could not be bothered with a poor man like Sean Zander who could only work as abodyguard. 1
After leaving the shopping mall, Bianca and the rest went to the exhibition hall.
The international fashion exhibition was hosted by the A City Trade Development Council, gatheringdesigner labels from many countries. Every item on display was at the forefront of fashion design, andattendees could buy their desired items at the sales platform available on-site.
All women loved shopping, and Bianca was no exception.
She bought many clothing items for the baby and the twins.
Nina was surprised when she saw Bianca buy so many things. "Everything you buy is for the children.Aren't you going to buy some for yourself?"
Julie also said, "You should buy at least some maternity clothes for yourself, Bianca."
If she had a wealthy husband as Bianca did, she would not have hesitated in spending money.
"I have enough clothes at home. Moreover, I won't be able to wear those clothes now because I'mpregnant, and it'll be a waste to keep them at home. I can buy clothes after I deliver the baby anyway."
While they were chatting, they suddenly heard a horrific shriek from the exhibition hall!
Bianca turned her head curiously to see.
She saw a man with a tiger tattoo on his arm and wearing a baseball cap waving a knife at the crowdwhile holding a slender middle-aged woman as his hostage. "Don't come any closer. I'll slit her throat!"
He roared at the crowd.
What was more surprising was that the woman in the criminal's hands was Queenie!
