Maizie’s expression changed slightly. “Then tell Nole that I’m here to see him.”
The receptionist kept her patient and professional smile on. “Ms. Hannigan, please don’t make it difficult
for us. We can only follow the order Mr. Goldmann has given us unless you can call Mr Goldmann in
person.”
Maizie’s expression dimmed, and she slowly took out her cell phone but did not dial any number. After
all, she did not have Mr. Goldmann’s number.
“He opted to meet me the last time I was here to ask him out for dinner, so why is he rejecting my
meeting request this time around?’
At that moment, Nolan came out of the elevator, but the person walking next to him was not Quincy but a
young woman with short hair.
The woman was not wearing formal attire but was in casual and neutral clothes, and she looked as
handsome as a real man.
“Nole!” Seeing Nolan, Maizie ran straight toward him, and the three-inches high heels under her feet
snapped deliberately as she pounced in Nolan’s direction.
Unfortunately, she did not fall into the arms that she expected to land in because someone else grasped
her shoulders and managed to stabilize her unbalanced
body.
She was astounded as she glanced back at Saydie, who was grabbing her expressionlessly, and a hint
of anger flashed across her eyes. “You, let go of me!”
Saydie let go without any hesitation, and Maizie immediately embarrassingly fell to Nolan’s feet.
Maizie got up and was about to lose her temper. When she also saw Nolan standing indifferently in front
of her, she felt aggrieved. “Nole, this woman has just bullied me. Look at this. It hurts so much.”
Having said so, she stretched out her hand and showed him the minor laceration located on her palm
with a pitiful expression.
However, Nolan did not even take a glimpse at the wound. His gloomy eyes still looked cold and
unconcerned. “Does it hurt?”
Maizie thought he was showing concern for her and nodded. “Yes, it hurts a lot.”
“Good then.
Maizie was dumbfounded, and her heart skipped a beat when she met Nolan’s indifferent gaze.
“Nole-”
Nolan interrupted her coldly, “Ms. Hannigan, I’m not an idiot. It’s time for you to end the scheme that you
and Mr. Hannigan tried to use to make a fool out of me. Why push your luck further just because I’ve
given you a tiny gleam of hope?”
Maizie’s face could not help but pale.
Could it be that Mr. Goldmann’s memory has started to come back to him?’
She stood up stiffly under the ridicule of the crowd present in the department’s lobby. “Nole, I-I’m not”
“May I know how others address me?”
“Mr. Gold… Mr. Goldmann.”
Nolan’s face looked calm and unwavering. “You should address me just like how others do.”
Nolan did not even want to take a glance at her, but he still commented as he passed by her, “Your
name, it’s annoying to my ears.
Nolan walked toward his office with Saydie, leaving only a few staff members who were secretly
watching the drama at the side.
“Did the Hannigans really try to take advantage of Mr. Goldmann?”
“Yeah, the last time the Hannigans came to pay Mr. Goldmann a visit, Mr. Hannigan told Mr. Goldmann
that Ms. Hannigan was his ex-girlfriend. He really believes that Mr. Goldmann has amnesia and would be
fooled so easily.”
“Even if Mrs. Goldmann were to be dead now, it still wouldn’t be her turn.”
Maizie’s hands, which were resting on the sides of her body, could not help but clench into tight fists. The
gossip that was coming from behind her did not escape her ears-all of them were mocking her for
flattering herself and that she was way too full of herself.
She bit her lip, glared back at them, and left the scene angrily
Quincy got out of another elevator and walked straight to the office not long after she left. He knocked on
the door and Saydie opened the door for him
“Saydie, sorry to have to bother you with this matter. I’ll handle it from here onward. You can return to
Ms. Vanderbilt now” He smiled
Saydie left with both her hands inserted in her side pockets
Nolan, sitting on the leather executive armchair, raised his head. “You’re back already?”
“Mr. Goldmann, Ms. Vanderbilt’s matter has been resolved, as for yours..”
“Saydie has resolved it too.” He intertwined his fingers and placed his hands against his lips.
Zee’s decision to keep Saydie here has worked in our favor. That woman really came back and created a
stir.
