Chapter 91
“Anything’s 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 didn’t 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 o’clock, 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 Madeline’s 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.
“Mr. Wagner, it’s a great honor for us to have you and your date here.”
Steven raised his hand and motioned for the manager to lead the way.
The manager held back the flattery as he knew Steven didn’t appreciate that.
Thus, the manager turned to Madeline and said, “You must be Mr. Wagner’s girlfriend. What a pleasure to meet you. You are so pretty.”
Madeline almost had a scare. She quickly waved her hand dismissively and replied, “No, I’m not.”
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,
“This manager is so oblivious. How could he think of me as
ne as Steven’s girlfriend?” thought Madeline.
Still, she smiled faintly and commented, Tm just Mr. Wagner’s subordinate.”
The manager was a little puzzled, knowing that the dishes prepared were done according to a girl’s liking, not to mention the booking of the top–floor private room with a view,
Thus, how could Madeline be an insignificant subordinate?
I’m so sorry. My mistake.”
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, “Mr. Wagner, aren’t you eating? By the way, you’ve helped me so much before. Why don’t I pay for
this dinner?
Brandon broke into laughter and said. “Ms. Larson, I’m afraid this meal will cost you half a month of your salary.”
Maileline thought about it and figured she could afford it if it were 600 to
to 800 dollars.
However, Brandon continued. “You are a university student. You have to earn money for your living expenses and tuition fee. Your don’t need to force it”

Meanwhile, Steven looked up at her.
At that moment, Madeline’s 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. “That’s so expensive. Are the prices here so high?”
Brandon nodded and answered, “Of course. This place is located in the city center, where land is precious”
Upon seeing that Madeline was embarrassed, Steven calmly picked up his fork and said, “Brandon, report the itinerary.”
“Oh, okay.” Brandon held the itinerary for the next day and replied, “Tomorrow 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, we’ll visit our branch company at two in the afternoon.”
With the bowl in her hand, Madeline ate and thought about how busy
Steven was.
“Such 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 didn’t let him eat with them, considering he had been working for the latter for many years.
Still, Brandon could only sigh on the inside.
“I really don’t know what’s so special about this secretary. Not only does she hang around the CEO’s office doing nothing all day, but she’s even managed to live in Republic Garden previously. To think that even a pet dog by Mr. Wagner’s side is male, thought Brandon
It was quiet in the private room, except for Brandon’s voice and Steven’s occasional response.
Madeline hurriedly finished the meal and wiped her mouth. “Mr. Wagner, thank you for the meal. I’m done now. I’ll head home first.” “Let Tyler drive you home,” Steven replied as he leaned against the chair without raising his head.
Once Madeline had left the room, Brandon said, “Mr. Wagner, are you interested in Ms. Larson?”
Steven chuckled and replied, “It seems you have forgotten the employee code of conduct.”
Brandon
was shocked and immediately stood up straight. “Mr. Wagner, I’m sorry. The first thing in the employee code of conduct is to not talk about a superior’s personal affairs.”
Outside, Madeline proceeded to take a taxi on the roadside.
However, Tyler had already arrived in Steven’s luxurious MPV
The window rolled down, revealing Tyler’s face. “Ms. Larson, please get in.”
Madeline smiled awkwardly and replied, “How will Mr. Wagner leave if his car is used to send me back?”
Tm just following Mr. Wagner’s 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 Madeline’s 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.
“Nolan, why are you waiting for me here? Madeline hurried over and said. The temperature’s gone down recently. What if you catch a cold?”
“You said you already got in the car, so I thought I’d wait here for a while. Nolan stretched out his hand and continued, “Let’s go inside. 1 also wanted to check if you’re all better with the cold”
With that, Madeline let Nolan hold her hand back to the mansion.
The night was quiet, and the autumn wind kept blowing

“I’m fine. I’m quite energetic today. Actually, we’re all rich. So, why are you working so hard outside?” Nolan’s eyes seemed pained as he said, “Are you hungry after working overtime up to this hour?”
Madeline shook her head and replied, “I just had dinner with someone from the company. I need proof of internship for my senior year anyway. Now that I’m interning at Vanguard Corporation, I can do whatever I want during my senior year. Besides, I’m in an idle position. It’s not hard at all.”
Nolan touched the back of her head and said, “Okay. I only want you to be happy. I’m just saying it for your own good. I’ve said before that I’ll change, so I won’t interfere too much in your affairs.”
Madeline was a little surprised.
After all, Nolan was very possessive. He had his own views on many things and was firm regardless of others‘ 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 Madeline’s job for her good if he felt that it was hard on her..
“Thank you for understanding. I’m a grown–up now. I’ll have to be independent sooner or later.”
Nolan’s eyes twinkled. He pursed his pale lips, and they flushed red with a charm.
It turned out that Nolan was a little angry. “Independent. Are you thinking about leaving again? Maddie, I can be considerate of other things. With a short pause, he stared at Madeline and continued, “However, this is the only thing that goes without discussion.”
He had said those words slowly, but there was no room for discussion.
“Never leave me.” Nolan caressed Madeline’s cheek and said, “Okay?”
