CHAPTER 126Alexa wakes up early in the morning, feeling anxious and restless. She knows what she needs to do, but the thought of it scares her. She prepares Nolan's breakfast and takes it to his room, but this time, she doesn't just knock on the door and leave it outside. She gathers her courage and enters the room, hoping to see some progress in Nolan's condition.To her disappointment, Nolan is lying in bed, in the same position he has been in for weeks. He doesn't acknowledge her presence, and Alexa feels a pang of sadness in her chest. She knows she can't give up on him, but she also knows she can't force him to get better.Days pass, and Alexa continues to bring Nolan his meals and check up on him. She notices that his room is becoming more and more cluttered, and the smell of the room is becoming unbearable. It's clear that Nolan has given up on himself and has no intention of getting better.Finally, after a month of waiting, Alexa decides she can't take it anymore. She enters
127As Alexa walks into the dining room, she sees Kathy arranging boxes of pizza with a young woman she recognizes from BCI. The woman is packing the boxes neatly, ensuring that the toppings are evenly distributed. Alexa approaches them and asks, "Kathy, what are you doing here? I didn't hear Nolan invite you over."Kathy turns around and smiles at Alexa. "Oh, hey, Alexa! The board of directors ordered my family to help the nanny in convincing Nolan to come back. We're just trying to do our part."Alexa nods, understanding the situation. She's surprised to see another person with Kathy, a man who looks to be around the same age as her. "And who's this?" she asks, gesturing to the man.Kathy giggles and takes the man's hand. "This is my boyfriend, Laurence. He works for my father's company."Laurence smiles warmly at Alexa and introduces himself. "Nice to meet you, Alexa. Kathy's told me a lot about you."Alexa greets him politely before turning her attention to the other woman. "And w
128The morning after Layla and Laurence's visit, Kathy and the others packed up and left the mansion, leaving Alexa alone with Nolan once again. As they were leaving, Kathy turned to Alexa and said, "I'm sorry for Nolan's behavior, Alexa. I hope you know that he doesn't mean to be so difficult."Alexa shook her head and replied, "There's no need for you to apologize, Kathy. I understand how hard this must be for him."Kathy's expression softened. "I just wish there was more I could do to help him. But I trust that you'll take good care of him. He's the hope of BCI, after all."Alexa nodded, grateful for Kathy's kind words. "I'll do my best."As the group left, Alexa felt a mix of relief and sadness. She was glad to have some time alone with Nolan, but she also missed the company of the others. She headed back into the mansion and up to Nolan's room, carrying his breakfast on a tray.When she entered the room, she was surprised to see Nolan sitting up in bed, looking a little more ale
129Alexa walked into Nolan's room with a heavy heart. She had seen him in such a weak state before, but each time she saw him, it felt like the first time. His eyes were sunken and lifeless, and his skin was pale and fragile. She felt a wave of sadness wash over her as she realized how much he had been through in such a short time. "How are you feeling today, Nolan?" she asked, her voice soft and gentle.Nolan froze in his place, not sure how to respond. He knew that Alexa had been working tirelessly to help him, but he didn't want her to put herself on the line to avenge Anthony. "You don't have to do this, Alexa," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Alexa looked into Nolan's eyes and told him sincerely, "I know I don't have to do this, Nolan. But I want to. Anthony was like a brother to me, and I can't just sit back and watch as his killers get away with it. I will do whatever it takes to put them down." Her words were firm and resolute, and Nolan could see the determination
CHAPTER 130A month has passed since Nolan's graduation and he has been working tirelessly to fulfill the company's quota. He had taken up every project his father had left behind, and with the help of the skilled architects in the company, Nolan had been able to complete them with ease. Despite the pressure, Nolan had found a sense of fulfillment in his work.Alexa, on the other hand, had been busy managing the mansion. She had taken up the role of the housekeeper since Nolan had insisted that she didn't have to do it all alone. However, Alexa had been hesitant to hire new staff as she was used to doing everything herself. But after much persuasion from Nolan, Alexa finally gave in and agreed to take on the additional help.Nolan had made sure that the new staff were well-trained and capable of taking care of the mansion's needs. He had also instructed them to take direction from Alexa as she knew the ins and outs of the mansion better than anyone. With the new staff on board, Alexa
CHAPTER 131Nolan sat at his desk, staring blankly at his computer screen. His mind was consumed with thoughts of Alexa, his assistant. She had just dropped a bombshell on him, saying that she wanted Evans to be her new boss. Nolan was shocked at her words, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had been thinking about it after she said it and was very disturbed. He couldn't imagine working without her by his side."Nolan, are you okay?" Alexa's voice broke through his thoughts, and he looked up to see her standing at the door of his office. Her expression was worried as she studied him.Nolan looked up at her, still feeling a sense of disbelief at what she had just said. "No, I'm not okay," he said, his voice low. "Why would you want to leave me and work for Evans?"Alexa hesitated, her eyes flickering away from Nolan's gaze. She couldn't manage to tell Nolan the truth, as she was afraid to hurt him. Deep inside, she loved him too much to lose him, but she knew that her deci
132As Alexa walked down the busy street with the new butler, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. The stores were buzzing with activity and the bright lights were making her head spin. She had never been a fan of shopping, but Nolan had insisted that she get some new clothes for work."I really don't need any new clothes, Mr. Evans," Alexa said, trying to convince Nolan's butler."Nonsense, Miss Alexa. Mr. Evans wants you to look your best and I'm here to help you do just that," the butler replied with a smile.Alexa sighed and followed the butler into the first store. As she tried on outfit after outfit, she couldn't help but think of Anthony. He had always been the one to accompany her on shopping trips, helping her pick out the perfect outfit. She missed him terribly and couldn't help but wonder if he was watching over her from above.After several hours of shopping, Alexa was exhausted. She had tried on countless outfits and was ready to go home. However, Nolan had arranged fo
133 The morning sun had just risen, illuminating the entire mansion with its warm glow. Alexa was already up and ready for her first day as Nolan's assistant. She was dressed in her new work clothes, a white blouse and black pants, feeling confident and excited for the day ahead. As she entered Nolan's office, he greeted her with a smile and introduced her to his colleagues and the board of directors. Alexa felt welcomed by everyone, and they were all eager to work with her. Nolan took Alexa around the office, showing her where everything was and explaining her duties. She was relieved to find out that it wasn't going to be difficult as she only had to manage Nolan's calls, emails, and files. He also introduced her to his personal secretary who was going to show her the ropes. As the day went by, Alexa found herself settling into her new role with ease. She was efficient and organized, and Nolan was pleased with her work. He was also glad to see his colleagues interacting well with
