At Blackgold…Quincy was scrolling through the tablet as he reported the findings of his work in front of the desk. Nolan was holding a cup of coffee in front of his lips, but he did not drink it. He tapped his fingers on the desk and was obviously distracted.Quincy lifted his head and asked, “Mr. Goldmann?”Nolan looked outside through the window and said, “It seems like a lot of things are going on in Soul.”Quincy chuckled and said, “Isn't that a good thing when more and more people are buying jewelry from Mrs. Goldmann's Soul Jewelry?”Nolan frowned. “Did you know that she just hired a new staff member? I heard that he’s quite handsome, and he has gotten quite a lot of attention lately.”Quincy was rendered speechless.‘Is this what you’re concerned about?‘Nolan put the cup of coffee down, and the expression on his face was unreadable. “I also heard that she puts a lot of effort into nurturing that little boy.”The corner of Quincy’s lips twitched. “Isn't it normal? I’m
Seeing that Nolan entered the office, Lucy quietly exited the room and immediately closed the door.Nolan stopped in front of the desk, propped his arms against the desk, leaned forward to approach Maisie, and forced a smile. “There’s a newcomer in the company, and you’ve already forgotten about your husband. Have you taken a fancy to that newbie?”Listening to his serious tone, Maisie could not help but laugh. “Honey, is that jealousy that I’m smelling?”Nolan squinted slightly.Maisie leaned forward, kissed him on the lips, and let off a bright smile. “Good then, we’ll take him to the mall later and buy him some clothes together. I still have to arrange accommodation for him after the shopping.”Nolan frowned, and his expression dimmed. “It seems that you’ve arranged everything for him.”Maisie could not help but chuckle and nod.Seeing the gloom in Nolan’s eyes, Maisie grabbed him by his tie. “Shall I introduce you to him?”Nolan pulled his tie out of her grasp. “No.”He wa
Hector originally thought that it would be difficult to get along with Nolan as rumor had it that he had always been a very indifferent man. Thus, he tried not to speak too much in order not to cause his cousin any trouble. Still, he did not expect that Nolan would take the initiative to talk to him.Hector scratched his head. “I just don’t want to live on as the person that I used to be.”Nolan responded faintly while still looking ahead. “It’s good to be willing to make a change.”The car was parked outside the largest shopping mall located in the administrative district, and the two got out of the car. Hector walked alongside Nolan, and as soon as they had just stepped into the shopping mall, the director and several managers of the mall greeted Nolan with a smile, “Mr. Goldmann.”Nolan brought Hector to them. “Get him a few suitable outfits. Just pack everything that he likes.”…Maisie was stunned when she saw the Hector that Nolan had brought back from the mall, and almost
Maisie asked them immediately, “What’s wrong?”“Uh... Ms. Vanderbilt, it turns out Hector is your cousin?”Although they had long thought that the two of them might be related in some way, he turned out to be her younger cousin.They did not know much about that because Hector had not come clean with them either when it came to his relationship with Maisie.Several female employees leaned forward all of a sudden. “Ms. Vanderbilt, do you have any other younger cousins?”“Their buddies would do too.”Maisie was rendered speechless.‘It seems that I really need to start hiring some young men for the company’s sake. Otherwise, these ladies will only think about men all the time.’At Stoslo’s Ambergate Street…Ryleigh walked into a circular plaza, looked at the sculptures and doves in the plaza, and picked up a camera to take pictures.A blonde girl walked up to her and tugged at the hem of her clothes.When Ryleigh lowered her head, the young girl handed her the rose bouquet in
Ryleigh pouted and whispered, “I just missed you. I’m not going to go into the details.”Louis kissed her forehead and held her hand. “Let’s go. I’m here to bring back a kitten that can’t find its way home.”She held the roses with one hand while the other was being wrapped in his palm, and she followed him as both of them moved forward. “Who said that I can’t find my way home?”He smiled. “You’ve been away from home for more than a month. Can you still recognize your house?”She snorted softly. “I’ll do whatever I want. Why can’t I allow myself to have more fun for a few more days while we’re still not officially married?”He stopped, turned to look at her, squinted his eyes, and gave off a smile. “You seem to be right. I dare you to leave me alone again after we get married.”Ryleigh pouted and suddenly reached out to him. “You’re to carry me back to the hotel.”Louis was startled, looked at the tourists around him, and raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure?”Ryleigh replied con
Ryleigh asked, “Did you call your classmates earlier in the morning?”Louis raised his eyebrows. “Yeah. Otherwise, who else would I be calling?”Ryleigh flipped through the menu and continued asking, “Is the friend a he or a she?”Louis glanced at her and chuckled. “Of course, it’s a he, or are you telling me that you think it’s a she?”Ryleigh looked down at the menu and stopped talking.Not long after they finished ordering, two acquaintances appeared at the dining table, both of whom were indeed men.“Hey, Lew, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect you to come to Stoslo, and you still remember us.”The man who greeted Louis warmly wore gold-rimmed glasses, a suit, and leather shoes. He looked like a man who had a successful career. While the other man looked like a fashionable man who was very into hip-hop—he even had long hair and dreadlocks.The two of them hugged Louis first as soon as they met.Louis then replied with a smile. “You guys have all gone abroad since gradu
Ryleigh frowned because of curiosity. What was wrong with the orchestra?Louis, who had been silent, slowly spoke. “I didn’t like the students from the orchestra. I thought the way they play was boring and not creative and that the younger generation wouldn’t enjoy it. Thus, I didn’t understand the beauty of orchestras until I went to the performance in Bassburgh High, which changed my mind.”Blake Stefani chuckled. “Oh, the performance at Bassburgh High. The orchestra performance that night was indeed mesmerizing. Opera and orchestra were incorporated into pop songs. What was that performance called? It was outstanding.”He couldn't remember what the program was called, but he remembered that the girl had been singing very well and that he had been utterly mesmerized.Ryleigh thought that what they were talking about sounded familiar. Were they talking about her?Louis suddenly grabbed her hand and said to them, “Just ask her if you want to know.”They both look toward her. “Her
The girl crumbled the letter and bit her lip, looking sad. Louis didn’t accept her letter, glanced at her, and walked past. Robbin patted the girl’s shoulder. “I’m sorry.”Before they walked too far away, the girl said, “What’s wrong with the orchestra? We play music too.”Louis stopped in his tracks. Robbin and Blake looked at him. The girl bit her lip, looking sad. “I… I just don’t understand. I’m not allowed to have a crush on soloists just because I’m part of the orchestra?”Louis turned around, looked at her, and said indifferently, “I don’t like the orchestra, so even if I’m looking for someone to date, it wouldn’t be someone from the orchestra.”The girl stood there stunned. Louis turned around and left while Blake walked next to him and laughed. “Lew, aren’t you afraid that you’ll put your foot in your mouth one day?”He looked at Black and said, “Not possible.”Robbin grabbed Blake. “You should date someone with similar interests. Louis does not understand orch
