Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 664

Only after all the students in the classroom had cleared out did Erlinda, dragging her tired feet, trail behind Nolan.

Nolan, now 50, was no spring chicken. His temples were completely gray.

They bumped into many people along the way, all of whom greeted him politely.

But once they stepped into Nolan's private office, his smile vanished. He jerked his chin, signaling Erlinda to take a seat.

Erlinda was only twenty years old this year and was a junior in college.

Erlinda slowly made her way to a chair, her calves trembling in fear.

"You saw Penny earlier, didn't you? Did you give her the script?"

"Yes, I did."

With that, Erlinda lowered her head, afraid to meet Nolan's eyes.

Nolan nodded in satisfaction, suddenly patting her shoulder.

"Erlinda, you didn't gab too much, did you?"

Nolan's sudden movement startled Erlinda, causing her to tremble slightly.

"I didn't, I swear."

Nolan chuckled, then leaned in to give her a hug.

"Good. Penny's just a minor player, she can't do much damage. What did she say when you gave her the script?"

"Ms. Penny didn't really like it. She asked me to make some changes."

Erlinda swallowed hard.

A frown creased Nolan's brow, and he snorted, "Of course she wouldn't. I just gave it to her to keep her sweet. After all, to keep Mr. Sanders happy, I had to throw her a bone. You tinker with it a bit more, then just fob her off. Let her think you can't do any better, and we can call it a day."

With that, he placed his hand on Erlinda's thigh.

She shivered again.

Nolan was pleased to see her so scared of him. He withdrew his hand, then placed it at the back of her neck, sliding it down to her shoulder blade.

"Erlinda, you're looking a bit skinny lately. Eat up when you get home."
