Chapter 15
Maisie took a deep breath to calm herself down and smiled. “I’m not sure what’s the attitude that Mr. Goldmann wants to see from us. If it’s an apology, then I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”
‘All he wants is an apology, isn’t it?’
Maisie harnessed all the positive attitude that she had in her and bowed to him. “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldmann.”
Seeing that she had lowered her posture, Nolan felt a little ironic. “I didn’t expect Miss Vanderbilt to apologize on behalf of her friend. I really can’t tell that you’re someone who would do something to hurt your sister.”
Maisie straightened her body suspiciously. “What does Mr. Goldmann mean by that?”
‘I hurt my sister? Is he talking about Willow?’
Nolan approached her, leaned closer to her face, and said with an unconcerned tone, “I thought you’re someone who would bear the consequences of all her doings, but now it seems that you’re nothing more than that.”
He said while turning around indifferently, “I’ll let today’s incident slide this once.”
Ryleigh’s heart, which had been on the brink of beating its way out of her chest through her throat, finally calmed down upon seeing them leave. But as soon as she thought of the words that Nolan said to Maisie just now, she asked, “Zee, what does Mr. Goldmann mean by that?”
“How would I know?” Maisie smiled. “I guess it’s because he thinks that I’m currently targeting Willow deliberately, so he has to speak up for her as her man, am I right?”
“What? Willow Vanderbilt is Mr. Goldmann’s lover?” Ryleigh was shocked. “Is Mr. Goldmann blind? There are so many women in the world, and he took a fancy to a woman like Willow?”
Maisie turned her head and glanced at her. “You’re still thinking about gossip? I would suggest you start coming up with an explanation for your father when you get home.”
She walked away right after she finished speaking.
Ryleigh pouted and caught up to her footsteps immediately.
The next day…
Maisie took out a list of the raw materials that needed to be purchased and handed it to the purchasing department staff. “Just order the rough diamonds according to my purchasing slip. You’ll be responsible for any mistake that emerges this time around.
The clerk in the purchasing department took a look at the list on the slip and nodded. “Alright.”
The purchasing department staff was sorting out the list of required acquisitions when Maisie was about to leave, and that was when the office phone rang.
She put the list on the table, got up, walked up to the phone, and answered the call.
Another female clerk got up, walked to her desk, and took a picture of the original ore manufacturer’s address and contact information, which were stated on the purchasing slip, with her mobile phone.
After returning to her seat quickly, she sent the photo to Willow secretly.
Willow, who was sitting in her office, could not help but lift the corners of her lips when she saw the photo that the clerk from the purchasing department sent to her.
‘Since you’re in charge of the purchasing department, then don’t blame me for this.’
The office’s landline rang. Willow picked up the phone and answered, “Hello?”
“Willie, I called your cell phone several times, but why has it been turned off?” Leila could not get to her over her cell phone, so she could only call the landline of her office instead.
Willow‘s face turned pale when she heard this. “My phone was smashed into pieces by that b*tch, so it’s nothing unusual if you couldn’t reach me through it. I’ll buy myself a new cell phone tomorrow. Why are you looking for me?”
“Your father will call that b*tch to come home tonight. You should also bring Mr. Goldmann back for a meal with you tonight. Your father won’t let that b*tch succeed as long as you go official with Mr. Goldmann!“
Willow could not help but frown. “Mother, since when did you see Nolan go back for dinner with me, and what if he doesn’t want to go?”
In the past six years, Nolan had never said that he wanted to go to the Vanderbilts manor for a meal.
“All you need to do is to coax him to come over, no matter what you need to do to achieve that. Don’t forget, your father has high hopes for you now. How can your father and I help you if you can’t even do this?”
She had to hurry up and get her daughter to secure her position as the official Mrs. Goldmann. She had been feeling extremely disturbed ever since she saw the two children at the restaurant the other day.
Leila’s words made sense.
‘Father has been taking me more seriously in recent years because of my relationship with Nolan. Now that Maisie has come back, and in addition to her return, she’s still a top-notch international jewelry designer. I would be nothing in front of Maisie without Nolan’s support.’
Maisie sat in her office and went through the information of all the company’s previous staff. Her eyes were fixed on Mr. Kennedy Fannon.
