Once the board meeting ended, the announcement about Mandy's and Julien's appointment was released to all Lovelace Group employees.

Julien exited the meeting room. The moment he entered the chairman's office, he plunged into Jonah's arms. He nuzzled his sweaty face against Jonah's shoulder.

He could finally feel at ease, knowing that he was finally back in his lover's presence. He also let go of the confident persona he was putting up and melted into Jonah's embrace. "Congratulations, Mr. Julien. You've succeeded in taking over."

Jonah lifted his hand and stroked Julien's hair gently. In a gentle and raspy voice, he said, "You are someone with status and a title now. You are the second-in-command in the Lovelace family. I'll have to rely on your support in the future, Mr. Julien."

Julien clicked his tongue. "Forget it."

Julien let out a long sigh. He said in a coy voice, "If you hadn't bulk purchased Lovelace Group's shares in secret to stabilize our share price, our corporation would have simply ended up in the wrong hands. As the president, I don't even have as many shares as you do. I'm just an employee. It's nothing to be proud of."

"Don't say that, Julien." Jonah held him close and said to him lovingly, "I am yours. Those assets and shares... What about them? "Plus, the shares that I acquired belong to your family in the first place. I am just returning them to their rightful owner. It's no big deal." Julien's eyes welled up with tears. He was moved beyond words.

He lifted his head and felt Jonah's breath on his face. Jonah placed his palm on the back of his head and kissed his lips.

They managed to share the kiss for only a short moment before the office door opened, and an unsuspecting Mandy walked into the room. "Oh! I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything. Carry on! Carry on!"

Mandy was embarrassed and had nowhere to hide. She covered her face and was about to leave when Jonah called out to her.

"No worries, Mandy. I'll go. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about with Julien."

"Don't go, Jonah." Julien clung to his hand, unwilling to let him go.

Jonah smiled tenderly. He lovingly stroked the tip of Julien's nose.

"I knew it. From the start, I guessed that you were the person Julien talked about. You were the one who supported us from behind the scenes. It could've been none other than you, Jonah." Mandy looked at him with a grateful look. "I'm sorry you had to spend so much money investing in us. When Lovelace Group's projects start picking up, we will ensure you're paid your share of the dividend." "You're too kind, Mandy. My money is also the Taylor family's money. You are also part of the Taylor family. I am just simply helping a family member."

Jonah shook his head. "If you really want to give back, you can just give it to Julien. It's the same thing."

"Jonah, you have experience in business. In the future... I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to guide Julien along the way. He may treat patients well, but I fear others will take advantage of him when he's president." Mandy was half-joking and half-worried.

Jonah wrapped his arms around Julien's waist. He lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on him. "Don't worry. You have Julien and I to watch over the Lovelace Group together. Lovelace Group will be able to overcome this hurdle."

Right after he said that, their phones buzzed simultaneously.

"Oh? It's an invite." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Julien was the first to open the message. It was a photo of Landon and Lauren sitting on a swing and leaning on each other sweetly. Their smiley eyes twinkled like the stars in the night sky. "Ah! Landon and Lauren are having their wedding!"

"I heard from Lyse previously that Mr. Landon and Ms. Lauren are having their wedding ceremony at Bernardia. Lyse told me that they only invite close friends and family members. The entire wedding will be a private one. No outsiders or media can take even a single photo."

Mandy sighed. "It's a pity, though. Ms. Lauren is a gorgeous woman, and Mr. Landon is an outstanding man. If only they're able to have a grand, public wedding."

"Aunt Mandy, Landon loves Lauren to the moon and back. Forget about the wedding. Even if Lauren asked for a star, I wouldn't be surprised if he were to fly to outer space to pick a star for her." Mandy looked at Jonah with a concerned look on her face. She noticed how unmoved he looked.

"Ah... That makes me so envious," Julien couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Julien," Jonah whispered right by his ear.

"Yes?" He lifted his eyes and looked deeply into Jonah's.

"Never mind."

Jonah gave Julien's shoulder a squeeze. He thought to himself, "You, too, will get to have what others have."
