Chapter 140 She Still CouldnâT Stand The Light
No one knew Nolanâs preferences better than Peyton did. It wasnât difficult to please him, but the
challenge was whether he would give others the chance.
In the past, Peyton prepared dinner countless times and waited for him to eat together. However, even
if she waited until midnight, he still didnât show up.
He was really heartless. No matter what she said or did, she couldnât see him.
This phone call was her litmus test. Obviously, he was no longer as heartless as before.
After preparing dinner, Peyton took a ride to Nolanâs company.
Peyton held the food box and thought carefully. The mastermind behind the scenes knew everything
about them, which indicated that the person was likely around Nolan.
Who would that have been?
Jayson and Lucian were obviously not the masterminds behind the scenes. Olivia was carefree and
couldnât keep a secret. Could the mastermind behind the scenes be an employee of Nolan Company?
Before they got divorced, Peyton had never been to Nolanâs company. At that time, she thought he was
protecting her well enough. Looking back now, it was just a joke.
Everyone knew that he was engaged to Helena. News about the two of them was everywhere.
And her identity, didnât really change. Whether it was in the past or now, she still couldnât see the light.
She took the CEO elevator to the top floor. At this point, all the employees of the company had already
left work.
Only Nolanâs secretary and staff in the office worked overtime with
him.
Peyton stopped in front of the door.
Nolan had six secretaries in total, four men and two women. She could generally recognize them.
Peyton looked over and found herself facing the woman sitting at the workstation in the corner. The
woman raised her hand and adjusted her glasses. The reflective lenses made it difficult for Peyton to
see the womanâs expression.
âMrs. Dalton, the presidentâs office is ahead,â Lucian gestured with an invitation.
The people inside were all busy. Peyton couldnât see much either. In order not to alert anyone, she
quickly left.
âKnock, knock, knock.â
There was a knock on the door. A voice, as cold as ice, came from inside, âCome in.â
Lucian opened the door for her and left quietly. The people in the secretaryâs office hurriedly greeted
him, âLucian, who is that young -lady?â
After all, Nolan has always been quite disciplined. Apart from his work partners, no other woman has
ever appeared quietly at this time.
Lucian reached out and tapped Justinâs head. Among the employees in the secretaryâs office, Justin
was the most lively.
âDonât talk nonsense. Did you finish your work?â
Justin touched his forehead and muttered a few words under his breath. Lucian glanced at everyone
and said, âMind your business.â
âYes, Lucian.â
Everyoneâs eyes were full of curiosity. No one dared to comment.
Peyton looked up at Nolan who was working hard. Ironically, she had only come to his office after her
divorce.
Nolan seemed immersed in his work and didnât pay attention to Peyton. Peyton put the food box aside
and neatly arranged it.
The sky had already darkened. The city in the distance lit up its lights.
Nolanâs handsome face looked even colder under the fluorescent light, and his jaw was tightly
clenched.
He didnât even look at her. The atmosphere in the room was as silent as death.
Peyton couldnât read Nolanâs mind and thought that even though she had insulted him that morning, he
didnât lay a hand on her. So, he couldnât possibly hit her now.
She bravely walked step by step towards Nolan. The closer she got to him, the more she could feel his
powerful intimidation.
Even though he didnât say a word, he still made people feel scared.
Peyton walked up behind him, intending to say a few kind words with patience. When she saw the back
of his head, she instinctively picked
up the nearby ashtray.
