Robbin helped at the grilling station while Blake was bartending for the guests.Maisie sat on the bench and stared into the night scene in the distance, holding a glass of red wine in her hand.Nolan found her after entertaining the guests. He walked toward her and sat down right next to her.Maisie leaned on his shoulder and gave off a slightly drunken smile. “Cherie and Dad would be very happy too if they were both here, wouldn’t they?”Nolan hugged her by her shoulders, lowered his head, and kissed the top of her head. “Yeah, they definitely would.”“Nolan Goldmann, I’m very happy.” She held his hand and interlocked both their fingers. “I don’t regret meeting you.”Nolan looked down at the person in his arms, who had blushing cheeks, and chuckled. “Zee, you’re drunk.”She sat up and frowned. “Since when am I drunk? I’m not!”With a soft giggle, he took her into his arms again. “Okay, you’re not drunk.”Maisie looked up at him and brushed her finger over the bridge of his h
Nolan turned her over, rubbed her lips with his fingertips seductively, and let off a smirk. “I’ve become your man from last night onward, so I’ll be more than happy if you can continue to spoil me like how you did last night.”Maisie covered her face. “You’re still laughing at me, you b*stard!”Nolan picked her up from the bed, and Maisie wrapped her arms around his neck subconsciously. “What do you think you’re doing?”“Bath.”Maisie tried to push him away from her twice. “Why are you bringing me along when you want to take a bath?”He felt extremely helpless. “You threw up on me last night, and I had to clean up for you all night, so I smell like cr*p now.”Maisie was stunned and stared at him suspiciously. “Didn’t you say...”Nolan took her to the bathroom and turned on the tap, and water started to gush into the bathtub. “You caressed me and seduced me last night, but you vomited on me before we even got to the main show and the rest was history. That’s how I spent the whol
“This movie—” Maisie was about to open her mouth when an indescribable voice sounded all of a sudden, and her cheeks flushed in an instant!‘Oh my God! Just what movie have I chosen to put on!?’“I, I… I’ll replace it.” She put down the fruit salad and was about to get up, but Nolan pulled her back into his arms, so she sat back down.Nolan stared at her face, which looked as red as a ripe apple, and could not help but burst into laughter. “Were you serious when you invited me to watch this movie with you?”“I’m dead serious...” Maisie felt that her response to the question sounded a little inappropriate and added, “I only planned to watch a movie with you!”“It’s just the two of us now.” Nolan approached her cheek with his lips as his palm rested on her waist. “Don’t you want to do something else?”However, before Maisie could say a thing, he had already sealed her lips with his. And she, who was already thirsty and slightly lustful, felt like a traveler who had just found a wat
Nolan pressed her against his chest and kissed her lips. “Work will never be as important as you are.”Maisie hugged him tightly as she buried her cheeks into his chest and teared up. “I’ll get spoiled if you continue to treat me this well.”“Getting used to all these will only give me an advantage.” He chuckled softly in her ear, wiped her tears with his thumb, and hugged her tightly. “I plan to pamper you to the extent of spoiling you so that I’ll be the only person in this world who can adapt to your way of life after this.“Maisie did not know when the movie ended at all. The only thing she felt was the impact that he brought upon her.After a few more rounds, they cuddled together next to each other’s sweaty bodies, and he was reluctant to withdraw himself from her warm embrace.Maisie stared at the blue roses that were blooming in the courtyard. They looked delicate and warm, just like the love that he had been showing her.“I was lucky to have met you that night ten years
Maisie lowered her eyes. “Then what about the young heir of the Knowles...”Madam Nera sighed. “There’s nothing left of him. Not even his body could be located. What’s more, he’s the only descendant the Knowles have. Although Rick is still young, I don’t think he’ll be able to recover from the pain within a year or two after losing his flesh and blood.”Maisie pursed her lips.‘To be honest, I still can’t accept the death of that child. Nollace was just a young child, but because of Madam Knowles’ selfishness and hatred for the Knowles, the Knowles were devastated, and even Zeta died because of her mission.Maisie sent Madam Nera off after chatting with her for a long time. At this time, Lucy walked up to her and said, “Ms. Vanderbilt, the La Perla Group has sent you some flowers.”“La Perla?” Maisie was stunned. She remembered that La Perla seemed to be the company that belonged to Pearl Santiago’s family.Soul Jewelry had not been in touch with La Perla until now, more or less
Nolan hugged her from behind, and his warm chest could be felt beating against her back. “You were in the room located directly opposite this room three years ago while I was in here.”He buried his face into her neck with a hint of glee flashing across his eyes. “It’s just that you were here to bid on jewelry three years ago. So, we’re here tonight to get you the best jewelry this place has to offer.”The auction kicked off, and the first item displayed on the stage was a South Afrenikan pink diamond worth tens of millions of dollars, and the VIPs started to bid for the diamond.Maisie looked at Nolan, who looked indifferent. It was obvious that he had not come here for the pink diamond. Thus, she wondered what kind of jewelry Nolan planned to give her tonight.Nolan did not even bid for the first few items, so Maisie could not help but lean closer to him. “I’m starting to get curious.”Nolan approached her ear and whispered, “Are you?”She chuckled. “How could I not feel curiou
Nolan hugged her. “So, how will you express your appreciation?”Maisie stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. “This is my favorite gift that I’ve ever received in my life. I’ll definitely keep it for a lifetime.”Nolan kissed her on the forehead and between the eyebrows. “I’m glad as long as you’re happy.”The next day, flowers were in full bloom in the music academy, and the garden in the academy was filled with tender verdures. People were walking in the corridors, and several instructors passed by too.“I heard that Jodie has returned to the academy to be an instructor. But didn’t she major in ballet?”“So what if she majored in ballet? She won an award as a pianist. She won’t be at a disadvantage even when she returns to her alma mater as an instructor.”“It’s said that she and Mr. Lucas were students of the same department, and she was the belle of the solo instrumentation department of the music academy. They would’ve been the perfect couple on campus if they had got t
Ryleigh was startled.Charles walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder. “Ryleigh, we can’t expect others to fight for us. When everyone else is looking down on you, the more you have to prove it to them.”Ryleigh’s confusion was instantly cleared after listening to Charles’s guidance.She smiled, thanked him, and then left his office. “I understand now, thank you.”Looking at her leaving his office, Charles gave off a satisfied grin.In the next few days, Ryleigh brought in a few students from the orchestra department.They obviously looked a little bewildered. “Ms. Hill, why did you summon us here?”Ryleigh looked at the music manuscripts in her hand and laughed. “Let’s start a band!”One of the girls looked even more confused. “A band?”Another girl sighed. “What kind of band can we form? The students from the solo instruments department will surely laugh at us for playing music for a funeral when they see us rehearsing.”“Yeah, thanks to them, we’re often not in the
