Dave's expression turned slightly sour. "Why should I be bothered about her feeling on cloud nine? I don't involve myself in the affairs of playboys!" His tone lacked any hint of warmth.Carly's enthusiastic eyes dimmed at Dave's words. She had anticipated hearing something positive, not his dismissive remarks.Just as she was on the verge of expressing her frustration, Vivian's chiming voice intervened."I agree with Dave. I genuinely don't understand why so many students in our school are obsessing over the proposal news. What's so special about him?" Vivian questioned disapprovingly. "I even had to inquire with Nolan if he knew anything about this so-called Hansel because everyone seems to be preoccupied talking about him."Tara exclaimed abruptly, "The only reason why that girl, the so-called queen bee in Nolan's school, would agree to date Hansel must be because she's foolish." She didn't want to believe a normal sensible girl will agree to date a guy that's fooling with other gi

The distance from the mansion to the company wasn't considerable; it was just a thirty-minute ride, possibly due to the light traffic."We're here, Nolan," Mr. Dawson exclaimed, turning towards Nolan.Nolan nodded slightly in agreement, remaining silent as he gazed at the tall skyscraper through the car window.His eyes fixed on the building, he unconsciously let out a gasp of amazement.Mr. Dawson noticed his son's focus and couldn't help but chuckle, pleased to see Nolan fascinated by the company building."Now, let's disembark from the car," Mr. Dawson said. Despite enjoying Nolan's astonished expression, he had to remind him to exit the car."Oh, right, we should get down now," Nolan replied, blushing as he caught the hidden smile on Mr. Dawson's face.They both exited the car, accompanied by Elijah, who had been in the driver's seat.As they walked towards the building, Nolan's eyes darted around, not because it was his first time seeing such a high-standard company, but because

Nolan was taken aback. Initially, he had intended to quickly apologize to the person he accidentally collided with. However, just as he was about to utter the words "I'm sorry," he halted in his tracks upon hearing the individual's initial words."Who's blind?" The person angrily demanded an answer.Turning to Nolan, the individual seemed poised to deliver another harsh reprimand."You..." The scolding words lingered, caught in their throat, as the person stared at Nolan in shock.Likewise, Nolan mirrored the shock on his face when he recognized the individual."What are you doing here?" Nolan swiftly altered his question, fixing his gaze on the person.The individual's shocked expression vanished upon hearing Nolan's question. "Hmph! How dare a trash like you question my reason for being here?"Nolan offered no response, only glaring at him. The person in front of him happened to be one of his former bosses from a past part-time job, known as Shawn, or Mr. S."Are you deaf, you idiot

Their eyes widened in terror as they observed the slow approach of a figure towards them."Senior, we're just resolving some issues. Is there something you need?" The male worker, harboring grudges against Nolan, asked with a stutter.Ignoring the male worker, Elijah repeated his question, devoid of leniency. "I ask again, who dares to command the young Master to kneel?"Confusion quivered in the workers' legs, visible on their faces. None of them found the words to speak.After a few moments, one of them broke the silence. "Senior, we're all perplexed. Which young Master are you referring to?"This confusion lingered in everyone's mind. No one understood why Elijah was upset, and they were unaware of any young Master.Lowering their heads, they awaited Elijah's response. Fear enveloped them as they anticipated trouble, knowing how unreasonable Elijah could be when upset."Young Master, are you alright?" Elijah turned to Nolan, feigning ignorance of their question.Although he appeare

"You had the audacity to raise your hand against the young master, and now you're inquiring about your mistake!" Elijah contemptuously remarked."Young master?" Fin was taken aback. "Is he the young master?" He turned to Nolan, wearing a shocked and disbelieving expression.In reality, Fin was utterly clueless about what had gone wrong. He was bewildered. Who was this young master, and why was Elijah involved? Elijah rarely bothered with trivial matters, so what brought him here?"Shawn, what's going on here? Didn't you mention that some troublemaker crossed your path?" Fin asked, bewildered.Mr. S pursed his lips. He struggled to respond. "Fin... why are you showing respect to him?" He gestured towards Elijah.Fin glared at him in frustration. "What do you mean? He's my senior, so why wouldn't I be respectful to him!" He almost yelled in a mix of anger and confusion."Just moments ago, you were boasting about your high position. How can his rank be higher than yours? In what way is h
