128The morning after Layla and Laurence's visit, Kathy and the others packed up and left the mansion, leaving Alexa alone with Nolan once again. As they were leaving, Kathy turned to Alexa and said, "I'm sorry for Nolan's behavior, Alexa. I hope you know that he doesn't mean to be so difficult."Alexa shook her head and replied, "There's no need for you to apologize, Kathy. I understand how hard this must be for him."Kathy's expression softened. "I just wish there was more I could do to help him. But I trust that you'll take good care of him. He's the hope of BCI, after all."Alexa nodded, grateful for Kathy's kind words. "I'll do my best."As the group left, Alexa felt a mix of relief and sadness.

"How are you feeling today, Nolan?" she asked, her voice soft and gentle.Nolan froze in his place, not sure how to respond. He knew that Alexa had been working tirelessly to help him, but he didn't want her to put herself on the line to avenge Anthony. "You don't have to do this, Alexa," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Alexa looked into Nolan's eyes and told him sincerely, "I know I don't have to do this, Nolan. But I want to. Anthony was like a brother to me, and I can't just sit back and watch as his killers get away with it. I will do whatever it takes to put them down." Her words were firm and resolute, and Nolan could see the determination

CHAPTER 131Nolan sat at his desk, staring blankly at his computer screen. His mind was consumed with thoughts of Alexa, his assistant. She had just dropped a bombshell on him, saying that she wanted Evans to be her new boss. Nolan was shocked at her words, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had been thinking about it after she said it and was very disturbed. He couldn't imagine working without her by his side."Nolan, are you okay?"

Her expression was worried as she studied him.Nolan looked up at her, still feeling a sense of disbelief at what she had just said. "No, I'm not okay," he said, his voice low. "Why would you want to leave me and work for Evans?"Alexa hesitated, her eyes flickering away from Nolan's gaze. She couldn't manage to tell Nolan the truth, as she was afraid to hurt him. Deep inside, she loved him too much to lose him, but she knew that her deci

She had never been a fan of shopping, but Nolan had insisted that she get some new clothes for work."I really don't need any new clothes, Mr. Evans," Alexa said, trying to convince Nolan's butler."Nonsense, Miss Alexa. Mr. Evans wants you to look your best and I'm here to help you do just that," the butler replied with a smile.Alexa sighed and followed the butler into the first store. As she tried on outfit after outfit, she couldn't help but think of Anthony. He had always been the one to accompany her on shopping trips, helping her pick out the perfect outfit.
