“Soul?” Kennedy was uncertain.
“Each design has its own value. Even if it’s an inanimate object, if it doesn’t have soul, then there’s no
meaning to the creation.”
After hearing her interpretation, Kennedy nodded with his hand on his chin. A deep voice came from
behind the door just when he was about to say something.
Maisie’s smile slightly froze upon seeing Nolan walk in.
Why was he here?
Kennedy nodded to him.
Nolan looked at him. “This must be Mr. Kennedy Fannon. I’ve heard of you in the jewelry world of
Bassburgh.”
Kennedy grinned. “It’s an honor that you’ve heard of me.”
“Mr. Goldmann, what brings you here?” Maisie grinned. Knowing that this was the man from six years
ago, she was a little devastated.
He calmly said, “Since this is a partnership, shouldn’t I know how the preparation for the jewelry brand
under Blackgold is going?”
Maisie smiled but didn’t reply. She didn’t think that he was there to ask about the preparation of the new
jewelry brand but to see if she had taken any actions.
“Of course you should. You’re the investor. We should serve you. We wouldn’t want people saying that
we’re not being polite.”
Maisie got up. “I don’t have good tea here. There are just some normal tea leaves, but I’m guessing you
probably won’t have time for tea?”
“Not at all.”Nolan sat down on the couch and looked up. “I have time for tea.”
Maisie was rendered speechless.
Kennedy looked at her. “I’ll go make some tea.”
After Kennedy walked out, Maisie crossed her arms, leaned on the table, and looked at him.” You’re
probably not just here for the tea, right?”
“No.” Nolan crossed his legs and leaned back. “I’m running a paternity test on the two children.”
“You’re here for personal matters?”
He squinted, “You’re not surprised?”
Maisie smiled. “I’m not interested in your personal matters. Why would I be surprised?”
“It would be normal to react when people hear such news. I’m actually surprised at how calm you are.”
Nolan’s eyes stared straight through her.
Maisie hugged herself tighter. She thought that she was controlling her emotions very well, but this man’s
sharp gaze was enough to make her nervous.
She couldn’t be sure if he was just testing her or if he had actually found something. Never mind that. If
she didn’t admit to it, it wouldn’t be an issue.
“How shocked should I be? The entire company is talking about the news of your paternity test. I’ve
heard it already. I can’t be surprised the second time I hear it.”
Seeing that Nolan’s face dropped, Maisie continued. “I think the one who should be shocked i s Willow.
She has been by your side for six years, but now you’re running a paternity test. How sad will she be
when she finds out?”
Nolan’s lips were pressed into a thin, hard line, his eyes cold.
The mood only relaxed so slightly when Kennedy brought the tea in, but Nolan was no longer interested
in a drink. He got up and left.
