Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 199

Josh, the culprit, was happily digging into his food, grinning at everyone else. “Why the long faces? Didn’t you all beg me to get Julian here for this meeting? Now nobody wants to talk?”

Julian had been sitting there for half an hour, and not a single person had dared to approach him. Everyone looked sharp in their suits, but underneath, they were sweating bullets.

He lifted his eyes, cool and unreadable, and swept his gaze across the group. Then he curled a finger.

Miles jumped up right away. “Sir?”

Julian tilted his head just a bit. His face was striking, but right now, all sharp lines and seriousness. His eyes on Miles were deep and impossible to read.

Miles got the message instantly. “What do you need, boss?”

Julian pressed his fingers to his brow, his voice low and smooth. “Go check on her.”

Josh, who had been eavesdropping from the side, couldn’t hold back a snort of laughter.

Look at that. So much for pretending not to care. Half an hour and he’s already losing it.

Doesn’t that sting?

Julian was already annoyed, and Josh’s nonstop teasing wasn’t helping.

Miles didn’t dare waste any time and hurried out.

“Julian, if you’re so worried, why not go check her yourself?” Josh piped up. “Watch out, or Miles might steal your moment to swoop in and save the day.”

Julian shot him a look, those dark eyes flat and icy. “Laugh again and you can leave.”

“I’m just giving you tips on winning her back,” Josh muttered.
