Chapter 351

The female staff member shuddered in fear when she saw Maisie after she had finished speaking.

“MS… Ms. Vanderbilt…”

“What are you guys talking about?” Maisie asked, grinning widely.

The two women swallowed back the words on the tip of their tongues as embarrassed expressions
appeared on their faces.

“It’s okay. I won’t get mad at you two. I just want to know who told you about these,” Maisie said slowly.

After realizing that Maisie was not mad with them, one of the female staff members opened her mouth
and stammered, “We… We heard it from the administrative office above. They… They said that you
refused to let Mr. Goldmann attend the meeting yesterday.”

Squinting her eyes, Maisie repeated, “The people from the administrative office?”

The female staff member nodded. She suddenly thought of something and continued fretfully. “It seems
like Ms. Summers said something to them, and then…” Understanding instantly dawned upon Maisie.
“Alright, thank you,” she said, nodding while beaming at the female staff member. In the administrative
office…

“Honestly, I don’t think there are any men who can say no to Ms. Vanderbilt. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t
want to attend the meeting either.”

“Jeez, you’re so shallow. Beauty is only skin deep. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she’s bound to
get old. Besides, even if you love each other very much right now, how can you keep the spark alive
when you get old?”



That’s right. Have you not heard enough about all those shenanigans in those elite families?”

The staff gathered in the office, enthusiastically discussing yesterday’s event. They kept talking about
anything, including Maisie.

They were so absorbed in their conversation that none of them noticed Maisie was there. It was only
when a male staff member noticed Maisie that he winked at the group of female staff members. When
they turned their heads around, their faces tumed pale i o fright.

Maisie smiled at them, looked around the office, and asked, “I assume you guys know where Ms.
Summers is, right?”

“Ms. Summers is”

“Are you looking for me, Ms. Vanderbilt?” Rowena came out of the office. Her face sank when she saw
Maisie.



Smiling, Maisie said, “I heard some rumors in my office today. A little bird told me that you’re the one who
spread them, so what do you think I should do?”

The rest of the people looked at each other awkwardly as they found that Maisie had heard about the
rumors.

Rowena tightened her arms that were crossed around her chest. That said, she looked at Maisie
defiantly and said coldly, “I’m just telling the truth. If you didn’t do it, then you don’t have to be afraid of
anything, don’t you think so, Ms. Vanderbilt?”

In Rowena’s perspective, Maisie wasn’t worth Nolan’s time at all. She had nothing but a pretty face, so
she couldn’t understand why Nolan had to waste his precious time doing those meaningless things with



her.

Slowly, Maisie paced up to her.

Then, before Rowena could do anything, she lifted her hand and slapped her on the cheek.

The people in the office were stunned, including Rowena.

She couldn’t come around to her senses for a long while until a prickling sense of pain spread from her
cheek.

She glared at her viciously and gnashed her teeth. “How dare you hit me?”

A grin blossomed across Maisie’s face as she said, “I remember I’ve said something like this to Wynona
before. Those who can’t watch their mouths deserve to be punished.”

Maisie detected the slight changes in Rowena’s eyes when she mentioned Wynona. However, Rowena
forced herself to stay calm because she didn’t want others to notice anything.

“Maisie, we’re in Blackgold. If something happens to me here, are you not worried about that.”

“What should I be worried about?” Maisie interrupted, cutting her short. She glanced at the dumbfounded
crowd around her and continued “All of them have seen what I have done so do you think I would still be
afraid of the rumors?

“The reason I slapped you is to give you a reminder. You’re just a secretary, while Nolan is the CEO.
Don’t keep asking him to help you to solve every problem or let him do everything himself. If he has to do
everything himself, what is the point of hiring you to b e his secretary? Do you expect him to take care of
you after he pays you to do your job? After Maisie said her piece, she chuckled and added, “Now I can
see why Nolan trusts Quincy so much.”
