Chapter 203 I Waited for You Here
Peyton finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought, âIIe really scared
me!â
Why didnât he come home earlier to comfort Helena? What is he doing standing here?
âMr. Dalton, what a coincidence.â
Nolan glanced up and down at Peyton. Then, he said coldly, âI waited here specifically for you.â
Peytonâs intuition told her that something was off with Nolan. The
flickering light of the lighter reflected on Nolanâs face, making him appear both like an angel and a devil.
âWait for me?â Peyton swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Nolanâs expression remained cold.
Nolan remained silent and walked ahead.
Peyton couldnât figure out what Nolan was thinking, but she still followed behind him. The elevator went
straight up to the top floor.
The wind whistled on the rooftop. Despite the arrival of spring, the night breeze still carried a chill.
Watching Nolanâs figure, Peyton felt a bit cold.
Peyton couldnât help but shrink his neck and thought, âWould he want to kill me here?â
After all, Nolanâs ferocity made him more like a bandit than a president.
Nolan to
The distant lights flickered behind Nolan like a galaxy, but his expression remained cold.
âMr. Dalton, did you call me here for something?â
Nolan looked up and observed Nolan, thinking, âLook at her, even
when she has no ulterior motives towards me, she still carries a distant look in her eyes.â
How could she come to work for me voluntarily?
âTell me, why did you come to the Dalton Group?â Nolan asked casually, leaning against the wall with
two fingers of his right hand holding a cigarette.
Peyton didnât know why Nolan suddenly asked this. Peyton thought, âCould he have sensed
something?â
âDidnât I already explain the reasons? I was tired of my current life. I wanted to fulfill my selfâworth and
embark on a new journey.â
Nolan approached Peyton step by step. Peyton couldnât tell from Nolanâs expression what he was
thinking. However, Peyton instinctively felt danger and subconsciously stepped back.-
Peyton stepped back against the wall. Nolan approached Peyton and lifted her chin, holding the
cigarette between his index and middle fingers.
Smoke curled around Peytonâs face. Peyton watched as the lit cigarette approached her face. She
could already feel the heat from the lit
cigarette.
âI remember you saying that only when you are treating and saving lives, and helping those in need,
can you consider yourself to have

achieved your lifeâs purpose. When did your values change? Why did you choose to pursue a career in
sales?â
Peyton answered methodically, âThat is still my dream. But now, which hospital would hire me? I
dropped out of school back then and didnât take many qualifications exams. Plus, I lack experience.
Even if I were to get into a hospital, at most I would be a small nurse who delivers and changes
medications for patients.â
Nolan did not believe Peytonâs answer, even though it was flawless. He stared deeply at Peyton.
âPeyton, Iâll ask you one last time. What did you come here for?â
There was a moment when Peyton wanted to tell Nolan everything. But when she thought about
Nolanâs anger and excitement when he mentioned Paula, Peyton had to swallow all the words she
wanted to
say.
Peyton licked her dry lips. âPassing the time.â
The cigarette was almost burnt out, but Nolan still had no intention of letting go.
âYou should have known that I hated betrayal and lies the most.â
Peyton swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Just before the cigarette butt was about to burn her face,
Peyton closed her eyes tightly and shouted, âI didnât deceive you.â
Nolan released his hand that was clamped on Peytonâs chin. Peyton opened her eyes again, tears
filling her eyes. She forcefully pushed Nolan aside. âYouâre crazy!â
