Chapter 790
Quincy nodded. “It wasn’t Mr. Zhivkov’s room. The person next door seems to know you.”
Nolan squinted and said after a moment, “I guess someone knows that I’m here tonight.” He hugged Maisie, then kissed her forehead. “Wait for me here. Don’t run around, okay?”
Maisie hesitated before nodding. “Come back soon.”
He smiled and left with Quincy.
Maisie sat in the room alone with some bodyguards outside. Barbara called and asked, “Are you at Glitz?” “Yes, I met Peter Zhivkov, the man that
Katrina is currently involved with.” Barbara was silent for some time, then said, “I know Peter. My dad closed down his spa once. So Katrina is trying to get him to do the dirty work.” “He promised that he wouldn’t help her.” Maisie leaned back on the couch. “His wife has a tight leash on him, so he probably wouldn’t want to offend the Chases because of a lover.”
“I just got the news that my dad will be stepping down after a week.”
Maisie sat up straight. “After a week? So soon?”
Barbara confirmed. “Peter Zhivkov will not just sit around. Once he finds out that my father is stepping down, he will definitely quietly help Katrina. He harbors a grudge against my dad because of the spa incident. The people supporting him are against my dad, so he won’t just watch as my uncle takes my dad’s place.” Maisie bit her lip. That was bad. If Peter really thought that the Chases had sent them, and if he found out that Mr. Chase was stepping down after a week, he would…
She didn’t expect Mr. Chase to step down so soon. She was expecting a month’s time.
It seemed like they had miscalculated since Barbara had just gotten the news.
“I’m sorry, Maisie. I shouldn’t have got you involved. I’ll settle all the issues of the Chases from now on.”
Maisie wanted to say something, but Barbara had already hung up.
