Chapter 91
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 91 âAnythingâs fine, Madeline was not picky.
Moreover, she even thought that it was okay not to eat.
After all, she had food at home anyway.
However, Madeline didnât feel she had the right to say that, considering she was a freeloading subordinate.
Madeline then switched her focus and looked out of the window. It was already seven oâclock, and all the lights in the city had lit up.
The lights were bright and lively, Meanwhile, Steven was holding his phone, and the cold light reflected on his face. He looked up at Madeline in the darkness.
A barely noticeable smile appeared on his face.
Steven knew Madelineâs plan from the very beginning Even so, he felt that Madeline was still too kind to the Larson family, The car drove smoothly on the road and soon arrived at a Clusian restaurant, As soon as Steven got out of the car, r, the manager greeted him in person.
âMr. Wagner, itâs a great honor for us to have you and your date here.â
Steven raised his hand and motioned for the manager to lead the way.
The manager held back the flattery as he knew Steven didnât appreciate that.
Thus, the manager turned to Madeline and said, âYou must be Mr. Wagnerâs girlfriend. What a pleasure to meet you. You are so pretty.â
Madeline almost had a scare. She quickly waved her hand dismissively and replied, âNo, Iâm not.â
She then glanced at Steven. The man was born into a prominent family in the capital and was also known as the Head of the Japrium Great Four.
Steven was a man of great status, âThis manager is so oblivious. How could he think of me as ne as Stevenâs girlfriend?â thought Madeline.
Still, she smiled faintly and commented, Tm just Mr. Wagnerâs subordinate.â
The manager was a little puzzled, knowing that the dishes prepared were done according to a girlâs liking, not to mention the booking of the topâfloor private room with a view, Thus, how could Madeline be an insignificant subordinate?
Iâm so sorry. My mistake.â
With that, Madeline followed Steven and entered the restaurant behind him.
In the private room, the dishes were already served on the table. There were seven or eight dishes, all of which were intricately prepared and looked appetizing.
Only Steven and Madeline sat down while Brandon stood at the side without the intention of sitting w with them.
Madeline felt awkward and asked, âMr. Wagner, arenât you eating? By the way, youâve helped me so much before. Why donât I pay for this dinner?
Brandon broke into laughter and said. âMs. Larson, Iâm afraid this meal will cost you half a month of your salary.â
Maileline thought about it and figured she could afford it if it were 600 to to 800 dollars.
However, Brandon continued. âYou are a university student. You have to earn money for your living expenses and tuition fee.
Your donât need to force itâ
ма 11:9 AM Chapter 91 Meanwhile, Steven looked up at her.
At that moment, Madelineâs smile froze. She remembered that her image in the company was a poor university student.
Thus, Madeline knew that it would raise suspicions if she could afford to pay for that meal.
With that, she pretended to be surprised. âThatâs so expensive. Are the prices here so high?â
Brandon nodded and answered, âOf course. This place is located in the city center, where land is preciousâ
Upon seeing that Madeline was embarrassed, Steven calmly picked up his fork and said, âBrandon, report the itinerary.â
âOh, okay.â Brandon held the itinerary for the next day and replied, âTomorrow morning at seven, we will fly to Mocset to sign a contract. We also have a business meeting over lunch with the chairman of the Lacus Group tomorrow. Then, weâll visit our branch company at two in the afternoon.â
With the bowl in her hand, Madeline ate and thought about how busy Steven was.
âSuch are the problems of having a big family and successful business, thought Madeline.
Meanwhile, Brandon was starving to death. He glanced at Madeline, who had buried herself in food with envy.
At the same time, he wondered why Steven didnât let him eat with them, considering he had been working for the latter for many years.
Still, Brandon could only sigh on the inside.
âI really donât know whatâs so special about this secretary. Not only does she hang around the CEOâs office doing nothing all day, but sheâs even managed to live in Republic Garden previously. To think that even a pet dog by Mr. Wagnerâs side is male, thought Brandon It was quiet in the private room, except for Brandonâs voice and Stevenâs occasional response.
Madeline hurriedly finished the meal and wiped her mouth. âMr. Wagner, thank you for the meal. Iâm done now. Iâll head home first.â âLet Tyler drive you home,â Steven replied as he leaned against the chair without raising his head.
Once Madeline had left the room, Brandon said, âMr. Wagner, are you interested in Ms. Larson?â
Steven chuckled and replied, âIt seems you have forgotten the employee code of conduct.â
Brandon was shocked and immediately stood up straight. âMr. Wagner, Iâm sorry. The first thing in the employee code of conduct is to not talk about a superiorâs personal affairs.â
Outside, Madeline proceeded to take a taxi on the roadside.
However, Tyler had already arrived in Stevenâs luxurious MPV The window rolled down, revealing Tylerâs face. âMs. Larson, please get in.â
Madeline smiled awkwardly and replied, âHow will Mr. Wagner leave if his car is used to send me back?â
Tm just following Mr. Wagnerâs orders, Tyler answered coldly, In the end, Madeline got in the car and sat quietly after giving her address.
When they arrived, Madeline got off the car immediately.
To Madelineâs surprise, a person was standing under the street lamp in front of the mansion.
The person was thin and tall. He seemed to have blended in with the night.
âNolan, why are you waiting for me here? Madeline hurried over and said. The temperatureâs gone down recently. What if you catch a cold?â
âYou said you already got in the car, so I thought Iâd wait here for a while. Nolan stretched out his hand and continued, âLetâs go inside. 1 also wanted to check if youâre all better with the coldâ
With that, Madeline let Nolan hold her hand back to the mansion.
The night was quiet, and the autumn wind kept blowing 11:39 AM Chapter 91 âIâm fine. Iâm quite energetic today. Actually, weâre all rich. So, why are you working so hard outside?â Nolanâs eyes seemed pained as he said, âAre you hungry after working overtime up to this hour?â
Madeline shook her head and replied, âI just had dinner with someone from the company. I need proof of internship for my senior year anyway. Now that Iâm interning at Vanguard Corporation, I can do whatever I want during my senior year. Besides, Iâm in an idle position. Itâs not hard at all.â
Nolan touched the back of her head and said, âOkay. I only want you to be happy. Iâm just saying it for your own good. Iâve said before that Iâll change, so I wonât interfere too much in your affairs.â
Madeline was a little surprised.
After all, Nolan was very possessive. He had his own views on many things and was firm regardless of othersâ influences.
He would also not change his decisions once he had made them.
If it had been in the past, Nolan would have definitely terminated Madelineâs job for her good if he felt that it was hard on her..
âThank you for understanding. Iâm a grownâup now. Iâll have to be independent sooner or later.â
Nolanâs eyes twinkled. He pursed his pale lips, and they flushed red with a charm.
It turned out that Nolan was a little angry. âIndependent. Are you thinking about leaving again? Maddie, I can be considerate of other things. With a short pause, he stared at Madeline and continued, âHowever, this is the only thing that goes without discussion.â
He had said those words slowly, but there was no room for discussion.
âNever leave me.â Nolan caressed Madelineâs cheek and said, âOkay?â
