None of them were wearing professional attire. They were all dressed up properly and looked sharp.Ryleigh had put on her light green custom-made dress. The flower pattern on the side of her dress was life-like, and there was a string of pearls embedded in the lace of the collar.Her shoulder-length hair was tied into a flower braid to reveal her face. She had only put on light makeup, giving her an elegant, classy, and graceful vibe.The people waiting outside turned their heads and looked at Ryleigh, causing her to feel uncomfortable. She lowered her head and mumbled, “Do I look weird, Zee?”Maisie patted her shoulder and replied, “Be more confident in yourself, alright?”Ryleigh took her number and went to the side to wait for her turn. As more and more people went in for the interview, she became even more restless.When Maisie saw her clenched fists on her lap, she thought of something and looked outside through the window. “Ryleigh, I remember you used to tell me that when
Louis looked at her. Although he seemed calm on the surface, myriads of emotions were surging inside of him right now.Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything, Ryleigh went up to Maisie.Maisie asked, “How was it? Was everything okay?”She smiled awkwardly and said, “I have no idea. They asked me to go home and wait for their call.”Just when Maisie was about to say something, she received a call from Francisco. She went to the side and answered the call, leaving Ryleigh and Louis to stand looking at each other awkwardly.Ryleigh lifted her head, and when she met glance with Louis, she averted her eyes away. “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”‘It’s so embarrassing!’Louis crossed his arms in front of his chest and studied her from her head to her toe. “Well, it doesn’t look that bad when you dress like this once in a while.”The tense atmosphere between them disappeared as soon as the words came out of his lips. Ryleigh did not feel nervous anymore, and she said, “W
Francisco chimed in, “Mom, how about I hire a maid for you? I can't come here often, and I don't feel comfortable with you staying alone here.”Samantha looked at him and replied, “I don't like being served, and it's easier for me to do it myself.”Maisie lowered her head. Samantha used to be a member of the Bouchers. Even though she had been living in a big villa and had had a lot of maids at her beck and call, she was able to get used to her new life after relinquishing it.However, some of the women who had gotten used to a privileged life could not accept the difference as openly as Samantha.“I’m so sorry about that day. I just wanted to treat you guys to a meal, but I didn’t expect I would ruin it in the end.”Maisie looked at her and said, “Please don’t say that, Mrs. Green. Both Uncle Kennedy and I know that it wasn’t your fault.”Samantha lowered her head when Maisie brought Kennedy up. She said, “No… It was my fault. If Francisco and Helios hadn’t arrived at the right t
Nolan had woken up in the dream, and Maisie’s hanging heart finally landed. She rubbed against the hand and fell even deeper into the dream with him by her side.The sky was turning white in the distance, and the bright light made Maisie slowly open her eyes.When she did not see Nolan on the bed, she jerked up.“Nolan?” she shouted, but there was no response from the ward.Maisie dashed into the corridor and stopped a nurse who happened to pass by. “Have you seen the patient here?”The nurse was dumbfounded. “Isn’t he at…”She looked into the ward, and her face turned pale. “Where is he?”The nurse hurriedly reported Nolan was missing at the nurses' station.Maisie looked into the empty ward, and her heart trembled. She seemed to have remembered something and rushed toward the elevator.It was late autumn, and the morning breeze was chilly. The lawn and the stone path were covered with fallen leaves.Maisie looked at every patient who walked past her, trying her best to look
In the ward…Maisie leaned against the wall and looked at Nolan, who was reading a book with the kids.Daisie mentioned that Helios had come to visit her father a few days ago, and Nolan only responded with a faint smile.Judging from Nolan’s demeanor, which felt the same as back then when he reacted to Daisie’s comment about Helios, Maisie knew that Nolan had regained his memory.The two children still had to go to school, so Nicholas came back to pick them up and told Nolan to rest well.The two children bade their father goodbye and left with Nicholas.Maisie was also about to leave the ward too when Nolan stopped her.She stood still behind the door.Noticing that the figure behind her was approaching, she did not turn around but only withdrew her hand that was already holding onto the doorknob.Nolan hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Are you still angry?”Maisie did not say anything.He then pecked her ear with his warm lips. “I won’t lie to y
Maisie got out of the car, stood in the yard, and realized that weeds had been growing all over the flower beds in the courtyard.The door lock had fingerprint access set on it. She stepped into the living room after unlocking the door with her fingerprint. All the furniture was covered with a dustproof cloth, and the walls and chandeliers all looked brand new.Nolan’s phone call came through at this time, and she picked it up. “You seem very free, huh, Mr. Goldmann?”“Where are you?”Maisie opened the French window’s sash. “Take a guess.”Nolan smirked as he stepped into the courtyard. “Do you really want me to guess?”Maisie stood in the backyard, staring at the seascape in the distance. “You’re so smart. You should be able to guess it.”He snorted.Maisie was astonished when she heard the physical footsteps that came through the call, and they were very clear.A silhouette overshadowed her head silently, and a slender, tall figure of a man was reflected in the windowpane.
Katrina laughed along with him.After leaving Eugene, her life had undergone earth-shattering changes, and the difference between the two lifestyles was so great that she found it extremely difficult to accept it.She was unwilling to go back to living the life she had before meeting Eugene. And because she could not appear in front of Eugene and had to hide from the public, the Glitz Club was the only place that would take her in.She knew that Eugene’s wife had divorced him, but she did not expect his ex-wife to be living in the same condominium as her.‘Could it be that Eugene didn’t lose half his assets and properties during the divorce procedures, and the woman agreed to leave him without getting anything from him?‘D*mn it! If the scandal between Eugene and me hadn’t been exposed, and Eugene still didn’t know about the secrets that I had on my cell phone, why would I need to stay here and throw myself at these old and filthy men for a living?‘Those videos ended all possibi
‘Wait a minute… If that’s so…‘Back then, she brought my appointment forward when I had an appointment with Soul Jewelry. She must have already known who I was back then.’In a trance, Katrina thought of the delivery that had come to her door.‘Maisie's assistant left halfway to go to the bathroom, which makes the whole thing seem way strange.’Now that she thought about it, she finally understood that they had always been on the same side!At the Blue Bay villa…Nolan was about to depart for the company. He stopped at the entrance, buttoning his cuff with one hand while asking Maisie to tie his tie for him.Maisie muttered in dissatisfaction, “You deliberately tore my clothes again. Do you really want me to get to work naked?”Nolan wrapped his arms around her waist, looked down at the shirt that she had on, which belonged to him, and rubbed her ears. “You can wear mine, can’t you?”“I’m serious. I have to go out today.” Maisie evaded his body.Seeing that she was in a hurry
