Nolan smiled, but it carried hints of sadness. He said in a low voice, "I was afraid that I would lose control if I saw you, just like how ! saw you yesterday."

He approached her and blocked her path. "Zee, if you didn't show up, I would have lost control and come to replace you, but you showed up.

Nolan's persistence and control had forced him not to think about it for three years. He had managed to fool everyone but himself.

Maisie's hand loosened, while her long lashes covered the emotions she had in her eyes. After a long time, she retracted her hand, "We should talk about our partnership."

Nolan looked down, smiled, walked to the desk, and picked up a file. "Here's a list of candidates. Wesley gave it to me."

Maisie paused. "Why would he give this to you?"

She snapped back to how she was in the past. Even if it was because they were talking business, he was content. Nolan approached and handed the file to her. " Because his concerns are the same as ours."

Maisie took the file and looked at the names of people on the list-Wesley was one of them.

"Mr. David is one of the presidential candidates?" She was shocked. Hadn't he just taken over the Ashton Group?

Nolan nodded. "Mr. Henry probably told you about his background. His family had always been in politics. His grandfather was elected president two terms ago, but was caught in an accident in less than three years.".

Maisie looked at him. Nolan got into the mood quickly when it came to work-related matters, serious and restrained as usual. "Wesley knew that his grandfather's death wasn't as simple as an accident, so he had been pretending to be a rebellious man who only cared about investing in businesses."

Nolan looked up and saw how she was staring at him, so he intentionally unintentionally' walked close to her. "Do you have a question?

The face reflected in her eyes suddenly became large and snapped her back to reality. She looked away and pretended to be calm. "So that's why Mr. David is working with you?" Nolan smiled. "Yes."

Maisie's ears turned red, just like in the past. Even though she had changed, it wasn't that much of a change. She had become more sophisticated and beautiful.

Maisie knew that he was staring at her. She tried to calm her heart and cleared her throat. "Then why do

you want to work with me?"

Nolan and Wesley were colluding. Neither she nor Roger could get a partnership with Wesley.

Nolan stared at her and warmly said, "Because I can't show my face, so I still need you." "Can't Mr. David do that?"

"Wesley's identity is complicated, and you are Alice." Nolan seemed to intentionally 'get close' to her.

Maisie froze, not daring to look up. She moved her legs to walk away, but a pair of arms pulled her in, twirling and locking her in a familiar embrace.

Maisie struggled. "Nolan, let go of me!"

"Stop moving, Zee." Nolan put his head on her shoulder, sounding helpless while holding her tight in his arms.

Maisie felt something and suddenly stopped moving.

She gnashed her teeth. "Nolan what are you doing? You're using this discussion as an excuse to take advantage of me? Don't forget that none of your men can fight better than Saydie. I'm going to-" "You wouldn't." Nolan placed his chin on her shoulder as if they were rubbing ears. "You wouldn't let her harm me."

Maisie pressed her lips together and bitterly frowned," You are still full of confidence, Nolan."
