Chapter 352
“You…” Rowena clenched her fists tightly as she stared at Maisie. Her eyes tumed scarlet with hatred.
The rest of the people in the office fell silent. Truth be told, Quincy was the one who settled most of the
matters in the company, and Nolan indeed had entrusted many jobs to him.
However, after Quincy had been transferred to another position and Rowena had replaced him as
Nolan’s secretary, they did not know why but Nolan had become busier.
Nolan was their employer, meaning he had hired them as his workers. When he couldn’t attend a certain
meeting, Rowena needed t o host the meeting as his secretary.
Hi!
It was only now they realized that Rowena had misled them. They also had realized that Maisie was not
a pushover. They all heaved out a sigh of relief, for they weren’t the ones who had gotten beaten by
Maisie.

Keeping the smile on her face, Maisie said, “Ms. Summers, if you think you can’t handle your job
effectively, maybe we can have Quincy swap with you. After all, Quincy is much more useful than you,
and he doesn’t need Nolan, his boss, to do everything for him.”
‘She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.’
That was the thought that appeared in everyone’s mind.
Meanwhile, Nolan appeared in the administrative office. He frowned slightly at the sight of the group of
people in the office, and then he saw Maisie standing in front of Rowena.
“What’s wrong?”
The staff dispersed when Nolan showed up.
Rowena’s eyes lit up when she saw Nolan. She bit her lip and said pitifully, “Nolan, 1–”
“I slapped her,” Maisie turned around and said, adopting a sweet look of suffering martyrdom.
The crowd was stunned at how fast Maisie changed her attitude.
Maisie obediently stretched her soft palm toward Nolan.
Nolan held it and began massaging it as he asked softly, “Does it hurt?”
Maisie lifted her eyebrow mischievously and said, “Well, it won’t hurt anymore if you help me to blow the
pain away.”
Nolan raised his eyes to look at her as a grin tugged at the corner of his lips. “Sure. I’ll do it once we get
home.”
Once again, the crowd was stunned
Just when Nolan was about to leave with Maisie, Rowena said frustratingly, “Nolan, I was the one who
got slapped by her without any reason!”
Nolan stopped in his tracks. Tuming around, he looked at her coldly and harrumphed. “Serves you right. I
also want to slap you on the cheek.” 1
Rowena was dumbfounded.
The crowd’s eyes lit up as understanding dawned upon them. It seemed to them that Rowena had a
crush on Nolan, but he despised her to the core. Rowena was filled with anger and hatred as she
watched Nolan leave with Maisie. She had never been humiliated like this in front of people before
In the past, the people in the Night Banquet would respect her since she worked directly under Titus. She
had never expected that Nolan would humiliate her in front of everyone for Maisie. Had they not been
best friends since they were kids?
Her eyes were tuming colder and colder.
In Nolan’s office…..
Nolan put Maisie on his desk and secured her in his arms. “Are you not afraid that she will tell my
grandfather that you slapped her?”
Maisie snorted and said, “What’s done cannot be undone. If she wants to complain to your grandfather,
there’s nothing I can do
about it.”
Nolan shook his head helplessly and smiled sweetly as he watched the bold woman in front of him.
“I’ve been wondering about one thing, Nolan. Rowena seems to be on good terms with Wynona, but she
doesn’t seem to have mentioned her anymore after her death.”
As she was talking, she looked into his beautiful amber eyes and added, “When I mentioned Wynona
just now, her reaction was strange.”
Nolan frowned slightly. “So?”
Touching her hand, Maisie said inadvertently, “If Francisco was the reason Wynona targeted me in the
camp, then how did you learn about the matter between Francisco and me since you weren’t there?”
