Chapter 281

Raven became nervous after hearing this. She looked at her and said, “Cherie, why did Mr. Goldmann
want to see Maisie? Does he think that Maisie is cheating too?” Cherie smiled with a little
embarrassment. “Of course not, don’t worry.”

Cherie brought Maisie to the office, opened the door, and saw Nolan sitting on the couch with his legs
crossed while Hans and Rowena were also there. After Maisie appeared, Nolan ordered the two of them
indifferently, “You two, go out first.”

Rowena took a glance at Maisie before leaving with a sulky face when she turned around. Cherie, who
was the last to leave, closed the door of the office. There were only the two of them left in the office now.
“Why are you standing so far away from me?” Nolan squinted and patted the space next to him. “Come
and sit here.” “No, this is a training camp, and there are so many people here. It’s not good to be seen by
others.” Maisie refused. Nolan’s thin lips were pursed tightly, and his gaze was fixed on her for a while.
“Do you want t o come over by yourself, or do you want me to carry you over?” Maisie was rendered
speechless. Just as she walked up to the sofa, Nolan reached out and hauled her into his arms. Maisie
was taken aback for a split second and struggled. “Let me go—” “Are you still angry?” Nolan wrapped his
arms around her waist, held her tightly, and buried his head beside her neck and on her clavicle. His
breath sounded when he spoke. “I’ve already figured out the matter of the jade ring. “Zee, that jade ring
was my apology gift to you. But I didn’t know what you would like at that time, so I asked Rowena.”

Maisie’s eyelashes drooped, and her tightly pursed lips opened slowly, seemingly a little dissatisfied.
“Why would you ask her?” “I… I thought you women would have quite similar tastes.” Nolan started
acting a little awkwardly. He had never given any woman gifts, and he did not know what women liked.
Thus, he wanted to give her jewelry, but his young wife was a designer and knew more about jewelry
than he did. That was why it was extremely difficult for him.





Maisie had nothing to say

No matter how angry Maisie was deep down, Nolan’s sincere expression while he was admitting his
mistake, coupled with his explanation, her anger was already half dissipated. ‘He’s definitely an idiot,
right?’

Nolan seemed to have realized something, and a hint of glee beamed from his half-closed eyes. “Are
you jealous because you thought I gave Rowena that jade ring?” “The best explanation for her furious
reaction is that she’s jealous.’ Maisie snorted and turned her face away. “What’s there to be jealous
about? The person who can’t get what she wants is her and not me. She was still showing it off to me a
few days ago

As soon as the words got out of her mouth, Maisie subconsciously felt that those words sounded a little
inappropriate. ‘Why did that sound like I’m showing off?’

Nolan raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Yeah, it’s you who got me, and not her. There’s really n o need
for you to be jealous.” Maisie pushed him gently. “Can you let me go first? This is still an office. If
someone were to see us…”

“This is Hans’s office. No one will come here.” Nolan gave her slender neck a light peck and lowered his
voice. “Zee, I miss you very much.” Maisie’s cheeks felt hot, as if a warm current was surging back and
forth in her body. “I’ve only not seen you for a while. You’ve lost weight.” Nolan slipped his hand into her
coat.

Maisie was so piqued that her cheeks flushed, and she lifted her hand. “You b*stard!”

Just as she was about to hit him, he grabbed her arm.

Her arm felt as soft as fur. He smirked blankly while he was caressing her. “Be good.”



When looking at Nolan, who was teasing herself with a solemn appearance, the phrase“ barbarian in a
suit” suited him a lot.
