Somehow, Tommy James had hoped that it was true and that his nephew, Nathan, was secretly the owner of Fraser Company. However, he knew that it was all wishful thinking.“It doesn't make any sense at all. Did Mr Nolan inform you that he's no longer coming to the investor dinner tonight? Tell us the truth.” Someone demanded with a hoarse voice.“Lying to us is a form of disrespect, manager Hannah. And I don't take that lightly. I understand that you're new to this whole thing and you're not familiar with handling the job of a manager because it's too much of a burden to you. I completely understand.” Mark, Nolan's former senior at his workplace suddenly said, drawing everyone's attention to him.He was occupying a seat at the far end of the rectangular intricate table, a stern look etched on his face with cold eyes that glared at manager Hannah with piercing eyes. Mark had seen Nolan before, however he pretended not to, in order to get the entire room against manager Hannah. He wanted

A few days later, Nolan was relaxing on a divan, reading a book and sipping a vintage red wine inside his hotel room located on the third floor of Night Shade Hotel, when his cellphone started ringing abruptly.He averted his gaze from the book within his grips and shifted the focus of his attention to the ringing cellphone on top of the small table beside him. He gave the cellphone a casual glance, however he couldn't tell who was calling him because the phone's screen was faced downwards.Nolan closed the book he was reading and gently set it aside on the same table before picking up the phone and quickly glancing at the caller's ID.It was Jessica Lee.Nolan had saved her contact on his phone as Miss Lee, so he immediately recognized who it was.A soft sigh escaped through his throat as he felt reluctant to pick her phone call.Why? It was because, for the past four to five days, Nolan had busied himself intensely to the point that he was starting to feel a bit stressed and tired.

Nolan quietly followed behind Jessica, his thoughts drifting to what she had said when they were standing by the door to her room.He couldn't believe that he hadn't moved on yet. The mention of his ex-wife ignites a burning flame inside of him, consuming him with immense rage. Nolan was reminded of all he had to go through in order to maintain his marriage with his ex-wife, Megan Jones. The constant humiliation, being treated like a servant and a doormat, taking a beating that he could've easily avoided, working his ass off to ensure that she gets the life she deserves, making calls with connections he'd long severed… and so on.And then, there was the fact that he caught her cheating on him on their anniversary day, only to realize that her relationship with her lover had gone way back before he even caught her. What had completely broken him apart was the announcement of a divorce. Just like that. While she was in the process of cheating. Without any form of remorse.The fact that

Nolan briefly looked at Jessica Lee, taking account of her change in demeanor when she saw the man. It was quite obvious that she recognized who he was.He couldn't tell who the man was to her, however he could only make conjectures.Why he didn't directly inquire about the identity of the man standing before them from Jessica, was because she seemed to be in a dazed state, and he didn't know the significance his words could entail on her if he posed that question.He optioned for restraint, instead choosing to make deductions through weighing facts and the information within his possession.Nolan was able to deduce that the rich and influential man had to be someone that was closely tied to Jessica Lee or the Lee family, this was because of the way that Jessica had reacted to the man's sudden appearance.If it were to be the former case, he believed that the man could likely be one of her past suitors or probably an ex boyfriend that used to chase after her in the past. Why Nolan di

“Do you understand now? I am untouchable,” Jake Kingston's voice rang inside the lobby of New Lake restaurant reaching Nolan, Jessica, and the spectators ears.Jake glared down at Nolan coldly. The latter didn't seem to be resisting Gustav's firm grips. He immediately waved it off as Nolan being incompetent against a skilled martial practitioner of the likes of Gustav, who had surpassed the Apprentice stages of martial arts, reaching the new threshold of an Adept martial artist, otherwise known as a D-ranker.Jake didn't know much about the mysterious world of martial artists hidden beyond the curtains of the normal world—he was restricted from grasping certain informations due to the confidentiality of the matter, what he did know was that those who honed their martial arts skills to the absolute human limits could have their physique transformed into something else completely. He didn't possess in-depth knowledge in order to comprehend the principle behind the special transformation
