Chapter 313: Chapter 313: No Need for Status?
Holly Houston probably caught onto Nina Quinn’s hint as well. Although she wasn’t aware of the paternity test issue yet, she was sure Nina Quinn was about to act against July Quinn, which made her feel much relieved.
So, next she took the initiative to steer the conversation.
"Getting engaged in a week? Congratulations, congratulations."
With Holly Houston opening the chat, other female artists also joined the conversation.
"Don’t forget our wedding candy!"
"Can you give me an invitation? I’d love to see how luxurious the engagement of a wealthy family is!"
"Of course, once the invitations are ready, I’ll bring them to you all."
After a wave of excitement, Holly Houston represented the entire crew in bidding farewell to Nina Quinn.
In the afternoon, Holly Houston even bought a hot topic for Nina Quinn, making the trending list all about Nina Quinn marrying into the wealthy and regretfully saying goodbye to "Competition Dance," skyrocketing Nina Quinn’s fame for the moment.
Nina Quinn accepted many interviews, claiming that after her engagement to Justin Callahan, she would consider staying home to support her husband and raise children, and any future appearances in the entertainment industry would just be for fun.
However, while the ex-girlfriend and current lover were both busy, Nathan Jacobs, this epic jerk, was blocking July Quinn, persistently pleading.
"July, can we talk? I was wrong before; I couldn’t see clearly, didn’t know Nina Quinn was that kind of woman, was fooled by her completely, misunderstood you, and harmed myself."
Indeed, Nathan Jacobs blamed all past mistakes on Nina Quinn.
It was to calm July Quinn down and get his name removed from the Forbidden Fruit Restaurant’s LED display.
And if possible, he hoped to start anew with July Quinn.
"I’ve thought a lot recently; I was the one who buried our love with my own hands, pushing you to someone else."
"I’ve been very unhappy for a while, and I know you must feel the same. Life is short; we shouldn’t be wasting it like this."
"July, let’s start over."
"Start over? How? I’m married!"
Wearing a baseball cap and staring at her phone, July Quinn kept Nathan Jacobs from seeing her expression, but he only felt her response was intriguing.
"Marriage can end in divorce. You and Kyle Keaton don’t have an emotional foundation, so being together won’t make you happy."
"But I don’t want to change my current lifestyle," July Quinn continued fiddling with her phone.
To Nathan Jacobs, this seemed like she was embarrassed to face him directly.
"If you don’t want to change your current lifestyle, we can secretly date..." Nathan Jacobs suggested.
Indeed, from the start Nathan Jacobs guessed that July Quinn wouldn’t suddenly leave Kyle Keaton, the mysterious boss of Regalscape Group, just for him.
Thus, Nathan Jacobs had planned to become the secret lover, as long as July Quinn would let him manage Forbidden Fruit Restaurant.
Well, Nathan Jacobs, being the eldest grandson of The Jacobs Family in Westmarch, was willing to take a lower position for July Quinn, which he thought was a win for her.
Nathan Jacobs didn’t think July Quinn would refuse his generous offer.
And sure enough, upon his suggestion, July Quinn finally lifted her head and looked at him straight.
"Secretly date?"
July Quinn had a playful smile.
"Yes, I don’t need a title."
Nathan Jacobs felt that July Quinn’s smile meant she was tempted.
"No title? Then what do you want?"
"July, you know my uncle doesn’t allow me to continue working at The Jacobs Group. Although he promised I could work at its Aethelgard branch someday, who knows how long that will take."
After going in circles, Nathan Jacobs brought up the main reason he sought July Quinn.
"Every man needs a job to rely on, and I’m sure you’re aware of that, July. So, if you don’t mind, let me manage Forbidden Fruit Restaurant."
