Nina sat diagonally across from Maisie.’ I’m sorry for troubling you, Mrs. Goldmann.’ “No, you didn’t,”
Maisie smiled, “There’s no trouble. I didn’t come because of this. I’d like your help.”
Nina didn’t understand. “What do you need me for?”
Maisie smiled. “To make them look like a couple.”
Nina was rendered speechless.
“Don’t worry, what I mean is that since Helios and Nolan grew up together, it would be great if they could
get closer because of this.”
Then she added, “You can see how they interact. Even if they are picking on each other, I think they
actually care about each other.” Nina understood. She had been by Helios’ side for a long time and knew
that even though Helios knew a lot of people, he had very few close friends.
She was aware that Helios and Nolan knew each other the longest. Although they rarely talked, if
something happened to Nolan, Helios would definitely help.
She thought it might be tough. “But if we make a scene with the fans, would it.”
Maisie chortled. “How else could you explain to the company about Helios not taking jobs but instead
vacationing here on Winston Island?”
Nina was put on the spot.
Maisie smiled knowingly. “I have a plan. It gives Helios an absolutely good reason to come to Winston
Island.”
When Maisie returned to the room, Nolan was taking a shower. She saw the notebook, brought it to the
couch, and turned it on.
She logged into her Twitter and sent a DM to a tabloid reporter.
After his shower, Nolan walked out of the bathroom, still covered in water droplets with only a towel
around his waist. He put a towel on his neck and started drying his wet hair.
Maisie looked at him and chucked. “I didn’t expect you to be a gossip lover.”
Nolan stopped in front of her, leaned down, and put his hands on the desk. When he approached, the
smell of the shower gel floated over. “What gossip?” Maisie turned the screen to face him. “Ride or die
couple, tsk tsk, you and Helios both look great.” Nolan frowned and suddenly closed the screen, then
raised her chin with his fingers. “Are you that happy that there’s a rumor about another man and me?”
Maisie beamed. “It’s with a man and not a woman. I don’t get jealous over another man.”
“I don’t want to be tied up with that man.” Nolan smiled. He let go and released the towel wrapped
around his waist.
Maisie turned away. “You’re a pervert!” Nolan smiled deeply. “Why am I a pervert?” Maisie pushed him
away and jumped onto the couch. “Don’t come over, you flasher.”
She turned around and realized that Nolan was wearing boxers.
Nolan chortled, and Maisie angrily left the room.
Maisie and Nolan went to the restaurant for lunch. He ignored all the news online while Maisie was glued
to her phone the entire time.
Nolan squinted and, after a while, put down his cutlery. “Is your phone more interesting than me?”
“No,” Maisie said, looked up and smiled, “My phone is not as good-looking as my husband.”
Nolan laughed.
At that moment, his phone that was on the table buzzed. Quincy was calling. Maisie saw him ignoring it
and asked, “Why aren’t you picking up?”
Nolan didn’t even look at it. “I’m on vacation. I don’t want to deal with the company.”
