Chapter 10. Did He Faint?

“Did Mr. Julian really faint?”

In just an instant, the memory of the deal with the secretary replayed. In one swift movement, Julian straightened and opened his eyes wide.

"I didn't pass out." His sigh made everyone fall silent. "I didn't faint!" he cried before laughing and raising his fists in the air.
