Chapter 126
Nolan immediately feigned a cough, increasing his pace so that she wouldn't be able to look into his eyes. He might end up with a nervous breakdown if he maintained eye contact with Jessica. Instead, he chose not to respond to her inquiry, acting as if he didn't hear what she'd just said.He fixated his entire attention on the magnificent building in front of them, as he kept walking, with no sign of slowing down any minutes later. Jessica was following behind him. She noticed his unusual behavior, realizing that Nolan had done that on purpose in order to avoid giving her a response. This stirred up a teasing giggle from Jessica as she silently watched his back.A look of satisfaction etched on her face.He had always been the only one getting on her nerves, seeing him reacting uncomfortably right now made her grin in satisfaction.She realized that although she'd been with Nolan for more than a week now, as her personal bodyguard of course, she hadn't really seen this side of him.

Chapter 125
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

Shortly after, Nolan arrived at Jessica's place, the mansion. The security guards did not need to stop or question him anymore, they simply let him through while sparing a few short nods, of which Nolan reciprocated.“How are you doing, Nolan?” One of the security guards inquired with an awkward smile plastered on his face.The other security guard suddenly asked amidst slight giggles, “Want to eat lunch later? Just the three of us and Chief Victor.”Ever since he started working for the Lee family as Jessica Lee's personal bodyguard, Nolan came to realize that the two security guards hanging by the gates to the mansion aren't as bad as he'd thought them to be based on the first impression.In fact, they seemed to be quite talkative, looking to engage in a friendly conversation with him in order to reconcile their past differences.Of course Nolan couldn't tell if they were sincerely sorry for how they'd treated him that day or if they'd come pleading for his forgiveness driven by fea
Chapter 123
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.
Chapter 122
Gasps erupted abruptly inside the private dining room as everyone expressed their shock and surprise.‘What's going on?’‘Why was that man sitting on Mr Nolan's seat?’Everyone wondered thoughtfully.They were all flabbergasted beyond words as they tried to comprehend what was going on.“Hey, you! What are you doing sitting on Mr Nolan's seat?” One of the guests shouted angrily as he glared at Nolan coldly.Nolan simply returned his glare with a slight amusing smile of nonchalancy.SLAM!“How dare you? Get your ass out of that chair right now.” The man thundered furiously, he slammed his hand on the table and strung to his feet clenching his fist tightly. His facial muscles twitched involuntarily as his sclera turned red as he stared daggers at Nolan. He despised Nolan's arrogance so much. The only thought that resonated inside his head was to walk over to the young man occupying Mr Nolan's seat and give him a thorough beating of his entire life for disrespecting everyone inside the
Chapter 121
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
