Chapter 297
As soon as Nolan texted Elizabeth, she didn't waste a second and sprang into action immediately. She tried to reach out to the secretary that worked directly for the chairman of Natural Baby. She dialed the number once, then again, but it was futile because the line wasn't going through. Elizabeth sighed, worried as she didn’t expect this outcome.She knew the secretary personally because they had crossed paths several times in the past when both of them had to attend meetings together. The woman was never happy and anyone who worked closely with the chairman knew that the job of being his secretary was nothing but a death trap. It wasn't just stressful, but was also mentally and emotionally draining. There was no peace in it at all.Elizabeth remembered having a conversation with the secretary one time. She had asked her why she would settle for such a job when it was obvious that it was destroying her. The secretary had only laughed bitterly and said she didn't have a choice and ne
Chapter 296
James opened his mouth to reply but no words came out. For the first time since the argument started, he couldn't immediately shut Nolan up because his words made sense, even if he hated to admit it. The only way he would ever believe any of the things Nolan was saying was if his father actually called him. Anything else would just sound like lies and excuses. Nolan was too calm, relaxed and unbothered. To James, he didn't look like someone who was desperately lying to save face. He didn't look like someone who was about to be exposed. He wasn't sweating, shaking or trying to backtrack on his words. He was just sitting there, composed, like he was waiting for something he was already sure would happen and that scared James.A small part of him was starting to feel uneasy. He needed that position in his father’s company and needed to be the managing director, no matter what. That role wasn't just about money or power, it was about proving himself. If Nolan was right and actually ende

Nolan brought out his phone calmly and typed a message to Elizabeth. He told her that he didn’t want to speak to the managing director again and that this time, he wanted to speak directly to the chairman of the company, who happened to be James’s father. He didn’t even know how possible that would be because the man was known to be very busy and almost unreachable, but he still wanted to believe that Elizabeth would find a way to make it happen. He trusted her more than anyone when it came to things like this.A few seconds later, Elizabeth replied with a thumbs up emoji. That alone was enough to make Nolan smile slightly to himself. He knew he could trust her and that she wouldn’t fail him, especially not in a situation like this.“What’s so funny?” Cherry snapped immediately when she noticed the smile on his face. “And what exactly is making you smile like that? I’m asking you to call the chairman right now, not smile and waste time.”“That’s exactly what I’m doing,” Nolan replied
Chapter 294
Cole and Gabriel had started to get scared for Nolan. They didn’t understand what was happening and what he was doing. He had never mentioned to them before that he had any position in Natural Baby Company. Sure, he had told them he worked in a company, but they were certain it wasn’t Natural Baby. They wanted to know if he actually got the job there or if he was lying. And if he was lying… they couldn’t figure out why he would do that. All it was doing was creating more problems. James was getting angrier by the minute and the tension in the air was thick enough to choke on. Cole and Gabriel even expected Nolan to be worried, to maybe cut it off, say he was joking, so they could all just eat and leave quietly. That would have been smart. But Nolan? Nolan wasn’t bothered at all and just continued talking, calmly, smugly, as if nothing he was saying was a problem. “I also know that your dad isn’t the kind of person that sees just anyone like that,” Nolan said, looking at James with t

I don’t think you made the right decision with the kind of boyfriend you have,” Cherry said, turning fully to face Debby. Her lips curled slightly as she spoke, looking very irritated,Debby’s face burned with embarrassment and anger at the same time. She couldn’t even believe what was happening at the moment and everything felt unreal. The Nolan she was seeing right now was not matching the Nolan she had heard about before. It wasn’t correlating at all.All the stories Gabriel had told her about Nolan were good things, respectful things, things that made her believe Nolan was different. But now? She didn’t know anymore. She didn’t know if she should trust Gabriel again or if he had been lying all through and maybe not just about Nolan alone… maybe about himself too.That thought alone made her chest feel tight as she was really torn and disturbed. Her eyes stayed on Nolan but her mind was all over the place, confused and unsettled.“It’s clear that Nolan just lied to all of us to sav

Okay, wait. Just hold on, Nolan.” John said, raising his palm a little as he wanted Nolan to just calm down before saying anything again before he explodes with laughter. . “I think you must be mistaken or maybe you don’t even know what you’re talking about at all. Do you even understand what is coming from your mouth? You… the next managing director? Who the hell are you to think that?”John shook his head slowly, looking at Nolan like he has suddenly lost his mind. “Where is that even coming from? Who are you to mention that position? The school you attended isn’t even enough qualification to enter that building to sweep the floor, talk less of becoming the managing director. That spot belongs to James and James alone. So who do you think you are to now open your mouth and say you’re the next managing director?”“I’ll even advise you right now to watch what you say because James can be very protective of his spot and position. Anybody that comes in his way won’t be spared at all.
