Yorrick lowered his head to look at the $ 15,000,000-cheque beside his feet. The corner of his lips curled
up a little as he said, “So you think you’re good at acting?”
Xyla crossed her arms before her chest and looked at him with her chin raised.
Yorrick stopped in front of her, leaned forward to get closer to her, and continued. “Do you know how to
act like a qualified lover for a man?”
Xyla frowned, and Yorrick clamped her chin with his hand. “If I want you to kiss me or to have s*x with
me like a normal lover, partner, or girlfriend, will you do it?”
Xyla was stunned.
Yorrick looked at her intently. Although there were other women who were prettier than her, she had a
highly recognizable and beautiful face.
“You won’t. You’re different from those women who willingly offer themselves to me, so you’re not
suitable.
Xyla was dumbfounded.
Yorrick released her and turned around. As he walked back into his room, he said,” Remember to close
the door on your way out.”
He was stunned for a moment when he heard the door close behind him. Then he sat down on the
couch. The colorful neon outside the window was reflected on the glass window, but it couldn’t disperse
the room s dark, empty, and cold atmosphere.
At Stoslo, at the East Island villa…
As soon as Maisie stepped into this courtyard, she thought of the past events of more than a year ago
and felt as if she was experiencing it once again. Nolan grabbed her into his arms from her back and her
hair with his fingertips. “Why are you not going in?” Maisie turned her head around to look at him and
chuckled before saying word by word, “I’m reminiscing.”
Nolan gave out a smothered laugh and picked her up from the ground. “Then let’s go inside and
reminisce.” He put her on the couch, and just when he lowered his head to kiss her, Maisie stopped him
by putting her finger on his lips. “Hold your horses, sir. Let’s get to business first.”
Nolan grabbed her finger and laughed hoarsely, “Okay.” He sat beside her and grabbed her into his
arms.” You can talk now.”
“I’m going to open a branch at Zena. I’ve been here for some time and found a good location. The
financial street is the best. It’s accessible from all directions and has the most number of visitors.”
Nolan stroked the corner of her lips with his finger and said, “The rent for one shop in the financial street
is $6,000,000 a year.”
“Why do you think I’m telling you right now?” Maisie blinked her eyes.
He let out a boisterous laugh and replied, ” Are you short of money now, Zee?”
“Yes, I am!” Maisie wrapped her arms around his neck and complained, “I don’t earn as much as you do.
Sigh, I’m such a disappointment, and I have no other choice but to depend on you. If you don’t want to
support me, do you want to save your money to support your other two, three, four, or five lovers?”
“Hmm… That’s actually a good idea,” Nolan replied with a grin on his face, earning himself a beating
from Maisie.
He laughingly grabbed her wrist and secured her tightly in his arms, “Just one Zee is more than enough
for me to handle.’
He ran his hand over her cheek and added, “If there were a few more Zees, I would definitely die.”
Maisie smoothed his collar and said,” When you’re 50 or 60 years old, and I’ve become old, who knows if
you’ll be tempted since there are so many younger and more beautiful women than me?”
Nolan landed a kiss on the corner of her eyes and slowly moved toward her lips. “It
took me so much effort to make you my wife. I’ve given you everything, the best of me. I’d even get the
moon or ‘stars for you, so do you think you’re the same as other women?”
She was tickled pink by his reply. She traced her fingertip over his face, and there was a smile at the
corner of her eyes. “So, I’ll take that as a yes then.”
Nolan pressed on top of her and pulled off his tie. As he kissed her ear, he said, “It depends on your
performance.”
A week later…
Maisie got the contract for the store on the financial street with the name “Alice.”
She came out of the shop with the contract, and just when she was about to put it in her purse, a man
rammed into her and snatched her purse away.
