Chapter 145 Life Assistant

Nolan’s black pupils stared directly into Peyton’s clear eyes. He attempted to read her thoughts from her face.

“What did you really want?”

Nolan thought, “Peyton is really unusual. I don’t know what she’s plotting.”

Peyton has become well–behaved now, but Nolan is somewhat uneasy about it.

“I have already said it. I wanted to start a new life, I didn’t want to be a nobody for the rest of my life.”

Peyton gently tugged at Nolan’s sleeve. A muffled voice came from Nolan’s arms, “Can I?”

“Is this all you wanted?” At that moment, Nolan didn’t know what he should say.

“Of course. Or are you willing to let me live in another city?”

Nolan pinched Peyton’s waist and said in a cold voice, “Don’t even think about it.”

Peyton smiled bitterly in Nolan’s arms and thought, “Nolan had already said that even if I were to die, I could only die by his side.”

Peyton closed her eyes.

Peyton thought, “Then I will do as you wish.”

“Then I will do as you

Wish.”

Peyton’s thoughts aligned with Nolan’s voice.

Peyton looked up and smiled at Nolan. She said, “Have you eaten enough? Would you like some more?”

“I was fine. You go ahead and busy yourself.”

Breaking free from Nolan’s embrace, Peyton said seriously, “What? Soon I will be your secretary. I need to learn how to work with you in advance.”

Nolan looked deeply at Peyton. Peyton looked very serious, making it difficult for Nolan to detect any problems.

“Whatever.”

After finishing speaking, Nolan returned to his position. Peyton was tidying up the food box on the side.

From the corner of her eye, Peyton saw Nolan make a phone call. Soon, Lucian entered and stood respectfully by the side. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Mr. Dalton, Mrs. Dalton.”

“From now on, she was my assistant. Make arrangements regarding this.”

Looking at Lucian’s astonished face, Peyton smiled slightly and said, “Lucian, please keep my identity a secret.”

“Yes, Mrs. Dalton.”

“I’m afraid you had to change your way of addressing.”

Lucian and Nolan looked at each other. Then, Nolan nodded toward Lucian.

“Okay. No offerişe, Peytie, come with me.”

Peyton immediately followed Lucian. Nolan stared at Peyton’s back for a while. Nolan thought, “No matter what Peyton is planning, I believe that keeping her under my surveillance, she won’t be able to escape.”

Afterward, Nolan resumed his work. For some reason, he felt much better than before.

Peyton followed Lucian into the hallway. After making sure there was no one else around, Lucian said, “So… are you sure?”

“Rather than being locked up for a lifetime, I would prefer to work. At least I can get some fresh air.‘

Peyton shrugged helplessly. Then, she said, “Take care.”

“I could.”

After Lucian finished speaking, he took Peyton to the secretary’s office and briefly introduced him to everyone.

People were somewhat surprised to see this directly assigned life assistant, but they all accepted Peyton friendly.

“Tomorrow I will tell you where your workstation is. Today, try to get acquainted with other people.”

“Okay.”

After Lucian left, all six people in the office looked at her. However, since she was with Nolan after all, they didn’t ask even though they wanted to know.

“Peytie, I will briefly explain Mr. Dalton’s habits to you later,” said Ronald Kearney. When Lucian is not around, the office is fully under Ronald’s responsibility.

Holding a stack of documents, Ronald stood with a straight back. He didn’t look like someone who worked in an office. He looked like a soldier.

“Thank you, Ronald.”

Ronald continued, “This is Quinton Kearney, Jarred Campbell, and Eden Campbell.”

Before Peyton arrived, she already knew that Quinton and Ronald were brothers, and that Jarred and Eden were relatives.

Ronald’s hand fell on the shoulders of the two remaining female assistants and said, “This is Ariella Blackwell, and this is Jaylah Mcpherson.”

“Hello everyone, my name is Peyton. Nice to meet you all.”

When Peyton confidently introduced herself, she closely observed the expressions on everyone’s faces.
