DreameNovelChapter 209 It was clear that if Nancy didn't say something soon, she might end up in tears.
Nancy felt a headache coming on. She was about to tell Judson to stop causing a scene, but then she noticed Potter standing among the curious onlookers. She decided to go with the flow and answered, "Yes." Being "married" would, after all, fend off sunnecessary attention and trouble.

Even Michael couldn't help but smile at the scene. All of Judson's efforts to stay close to Nancy had paid off. Unlike the cheerful Judson and Michael, Penny seemed a bit surprised but smiled warmly at Nancy's serious expression. "Congratulations, you two make a great pair." Judson immediately puffed up with pride. "Of course we do, didn't need you to tell us that." "Judson," Nancy lightly tapped him on the back in a warning tone. Judson's bravado melted away, and he looked like a scolded puppy.
Watching Judson's quick change of demeanor, Michael and Lenard exchanged a silent look. They knew Judson was completely under Nancy's thumb.
"Alright, you two lovebirds, give us single folks a break," Penny teased, casting her gaze towards Potter. "Right, Potter?" Potter couldn't even muster a smile. Watching Judson hold Nancy close, silently staking his claim, was like a punch to the gut.
But what could he do? He and Lena had missed their chance.
"Nancy, why don't we let Penny take a look at the highlight sketches?" Nancy redirected the conversation. "Sure, I'll go grab them," Potter said, his expression tinged with disappointment. "Just wait here for a moment." He turned and walked away, leaving Judson smirking in his wake. Let Potter try to compete with him now! Meanwhile, across town, Nora stepped out of the office and dialed a number. A sultry voice answered, "Take it easy..." Nora's face turned stormy the second she caught on. Her chest tightened with fury as she burst out, "Who the hell are you? Don't you know that second-in-command is supposed to be me?" There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by a dangerously calm voice. "Nora, I'm yours? Who told you that?" Nora's pupils shrank, her words caught in her throat. "Aren't we a couple?" "A couple? With you?" The voice from Mr. Grey was dripping with sarcasm.
Nora's breath hitched, her mind going blank. "But you said you'd take responsibility for me—" "Honey," Mr. Grey cut her off, "I've said that to every partner I've had. If I gave everyone a title, I'd run out of knives to share." Nora clutched her phone tightly, shocked by Mr. Grey's words, her face paling. "So, what did you callfor?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing the impatience in Mr. Grey's tone, Nora, though unwilling, suppressed her anger and said ssed her anger and said softly, "Renny's trying to take my spotlight, and now Michael wants to blacklist me!" "Michael's there too?" Mr. Grey sounded slightly surprised.
Nora didn't dare hide anything. "Yes, not just Mr. Ferguson, but even Potter, Lenard, and Lena are involved this time."
Nora's voice grew more heated. "Mr.
Ferguson never meddles in artist affairs, but now he's here with Lena, and she even hitand badmouthed you.' Mr. Grey seemed intrigued. "And what did she say about me?"
"She said your influence is worthless, that she doesn't owe you any respect, and that you don't call the shots at Evergreen Global..." As she spoke, Nora's voice trembled with frustration.
