Maisie inadvertently smiled upon hearing the promise from the man behind her. “You said it yourself.”The next day…Rowena got to the office and walked past a few employees gossiping at the front desk. “Mr. Goldmann and Ms. Vanderbilt have been acting too sweet ever since they registered. They were being secretive before this, but now they don’t even try to hide it anymore.”“There’s nothing to hide since they’re married now.”“Mr. Goldmann really pampers her. I’m glad I shipped them!”Rowena stopped in her tracks with a dark cloud over her head. Rowena had lost contact with Willow the day before, so she could guess that she had failed. Luckily, she hadn’t used her own phone to contact Willow. Even if Nolan investigated, it wouldn’t link back to her. The elevator door opened, and she saw Maisie walking out, holding onto Nolan’s arm. They were really not hiding anymore, just like what those women had been discussing.When Maisie saw Rowena, she turned her eyes and hugged Nol
Maisie batted her lashes and said, “What are you doing, Nolan?”“Weren’t you happily calling me honey just now? Why the change now, hmm?” He wasn’t happy.Maisie stuttered, “I was just annoying her because she’s coveting my man.”Coveting, her man?Nolan was extremely happy with her reply.He put his hand on her waist, got closer, and smiled. “What kind of excitement were you referring to?”Maisie shuddered and held down his hand. “Nolan, don’t do anything here. I didn’t mean this kind of excitement!”This terrible man, wasn’t he afraid his health would be affected if he kept thinking about that?Nolan smiled but didn’t say a word.“You said that you were going to spend the entire day with me, so you’re going to agree to whatever I want to do, right?” Maisie beamed. Nolan raised his brows. “Tell me what’s on your mind then.” He seemed to be enjoying how she wanted to spend time with him. Maisie smiled and said, “Everything, go watch a movie and shop around like a normal co
Rowena raised her eyes and said, “Ms. Vanderbilt knew that there was an afternoon meeting but insisted that Nolan spend time with her. He wouldn’t listen no matter how I tried.“Nolan thinks that I do wrong no matter what I do. If this goes on, Nolan will probably leave the company.”A hint of coldness flashed across Rowena’s eyes when Titus stopped polishing.Titus wasn’t happy with Maisie, to begin with, and what she said definitely pointed to Maisie being the reason Nolan was neglecting the business.How could a cunning woman like that become part of the Goldmanns?Unexpectedly, Titus didn’t show any signs of anger. He handed the china to Mr. Cheshire and said, “Rowena, you need to understand that Nolan is the CEO of Blackgold. Why would he need Quincy as his assistant if he had to do everything by himself?”Rowena’s expression was a little stiff. “Furthermore, Nolan just wanted to relax. There shouldn’t be a problem if he wanted a day off since he already married that woman
The female staff member shuddered in fear when she saw Maisie after she had finished speaking.“Ms… Ms. Vanderbilt…”“What are you guys talking about?” Maisie asked, grinning widely.The two women swallowed back the words on the tip of their tongues as embarrassed expressions appeared on their faces.“It’s okay. I won’t get mad at you two. I just want to know who told you about these,” Maisie said slowly.After realizing that Maisie was not mad with them, one of the female staff members opened her mouth and stammered, “We… We heard it from the administrative office above. They… They said that you refused to let Mr. Goldmann attend the meeting yesterday.”Squinting her eyes, Maisie repeated, “The people from the administrative office?”The female staff member nodded. She suddenly thought of something and continued fretfully. “It seems like Ms. Summers said something to them, and then…”Understanding instantly dawned upon Maisie.“Alright, thank you,” she said, nodding while bea
“You…” Rowena clenched her fists tightly as she stared at Maisie. Her eyes turned scarlet with hatred.The rest of the people in the office fell silent. Truth be told, Quincy was the one who settled most of the matters in the company, and Nolan indeed had entrusted many jobs to him.However, after Quincy had been transferred to another position and Rowena had replaced him as Nolan’s secretary, they did not know why but Nolan had become busier.Nolan was their employer, meaning he had hired them as his workers. When he couldn’t attend a certain meeting, Rowena needed to host the meeting as his secretary.It was only now they realized that Rowena had misled them. They also had realized that Maisie was not a pushover. They all heaved out a sigh of relief, for they weren’t the ones who had gotten beaten by Maisie.Keeping the smile on her face, Maisie said, “Ms. Summers, if you think you can’t handle your job effectively, maybe we can have Quincy swap with you. After all, Quincy is mu
Nolan’s lips were tightly pressed. It was indeed Rowena who had brought him the photo that time.‘So that photo was taken by Wynona?’ he asked himself.“Nolan,” Maisie called, pulling him out of his thoughts.“Yes?”“What happened?” she asked, staring at him straight with her clear eyes as she was surprised that he would get distracted.She then thought of something and said with a frown, “You didn't have someone keeping an eye on me secretly, did you?”Nolan stroked her cheek with his hand and replied, “Cherie and Hans would inform me of anything that happened to you at the training camp. However, Rowena was the one who told me about that thing about you and Francisco.”‘Rowena?’Maisie lowered her eyes.‘So Wynona was Rowena’s “spy” in the training camp?’ Maisie realized why Rowena had worn the ring and had come to find her. It turned out that Rowena had wanted to cause a misunderstanding between Maisie and Nolan because of the things that happened between her and Francisc
Nolan stroked her face. The things that Willow had confessed proved that his previous speculation was correct.His grandfather had learned of the relationship between Maisie and the de Arma family as soon as Maisie returned from the training camp. Both his father and he had done a lot to keep this secret hidden. Even Stephen and the others didn't know a single thing about it, other than Willow, who had tried to replace Maisie as the descendant of the de Arma family.With that thought in mind, Nolan looked at her and said, “I'll send Cherie to you starting from tomorrow, just in case. You can ask her to help you with anything. As for the kids, they should be fine with my father and grandfather looking over them. The only person I'm worried about is you.”A surge of warmth spread through Maisie’s heart. She could see that Nolan was truly worried about her.She grabbed his hand and put it near her face. While Nolan was slightly taken aback, she giggled and said, “As long as you’re wit
Hernandez snorted and asked, “Why can't I look for him? I'm his great-grandfather.”Louis set his jaw tight and did not say anything. Although his mother had told his grandfather that she had found his aunt's daughter, all of them had been under the impression it was Willow.However, they later found out that his aunt's daughter was Maisie, but she had married Nolan at that time. Also, he did not know how his grandfather had realized that Colton was Maisie’s son.Blinking his eyes, Colton asked, “You’re my great-grandfather?”Hernandez looked at him and replied, “I’m your mother’s grandfather, so of course, I’m your great-grandfather.”Colton frowned and said, “But my mom has never told us about you.”“I’m sorry, ma’am. This restaurant has been booked, you can't go in—”“Get out of my way.”Maisie pushed the waiter away. She was worried about Colton, so she had decided to throw caution to the wind.Just when Hernandez’s bodyguards were about to approach her, Colton saw her and
