Chapter 67
The butler looked a bit on edge, probably not expecting this young lady to pick up on his wary vibe towards Nathan.
He quickly put on a sly grin and said, "Miss, you've got the wrong idea. Mr. Nathan is young, so his father asked us to keep a close eye on him. I just ask a few extra questions to his visitors. I'm sorry if I came off the wrong way." Lizzy wasn't buying it. "Mr. Nathan is having his birthday this Sunday, yet you still treat him like a kid. Aren't you worried he'll get ticked off and cause you trouble?"
Her words carried a not-so-subtle warning.
Once Nathan's birthday was over, he'd be taking the reins of the Rowland family business. Even if his shares wouldn't top Mr. Benjamin's, he'd still hold significant power.
If the staff kept up their obvious suspicious behavior, Nathan might not be too pleased. While dealing with those above him might be tricky, managing the servants would be a breeze for Nathan.
The butler started to sweat, realizing this young lady wasn't as easy to handle as he thought.
"Please wait here, Miss. I'll go let Mr. Nathan know right away."
As the butler entered Nathan's study, Nathan was at his computer, hacking into the private networks of various high-society families. The second the butler walked in, Nathan swiftly switched the screen to show a video game. Hearing the game sounds, the butler smirked, thinking to himself, 'What was I worried about? This kid seems utterly hopeless.'
"What do you want?" Nathan shot him an annoyed look.
"Mr. Nathan, there's a young lady outside with a package for you. She said it's from Miss Nathalie."
Nathan kept a straight face as if nothing could faze him and said, "Got it. You can go now."
The butler bowed and left.
"Nathalie!"
Nathan's cold demeanor melted away like snow in summer, revealing a warmth underneath. He hopped up from his chair and briskly headed for
the door.
At the entrance of the Rowland estate, Nathan approached Lizzy with long strides.
"Mr. Nathan." Lizzy eagerly handed Nathan a rectangular box.
"Mr. Nathan, this is your gift Nathalie asked me to bring you."
The light in Nathan's eyes dimmed a little, and his voice was tinged with disappointment. "Is she not coming?"
Lizzy tapped the box playfully. "You
needed to get this gift a bit early for your ceremony. Don't worry. She's already in the Capital and hasn't forgotten about your big day

Nathan's mood lifted instantly.
He fished out two gold cards from
е
his pocket and gave them to liz "I've already got these access cards ready for her. Just use them to get
into the event."
Lizzy's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Wow, these are gold cards?"
She quickly bit into one of the cards, then, overjoyed, exclaimed, "They really are gold cards! These must be worth a fortune, right?" Nathan chuckled.
With everything sorted, Lizzy waved goodbye to Nathan. "See you later, Mr. Nathan."
But Nathan lingered, looking like he had something more to say, making Lizzy too anxious to leave.
"Is there anything else?"
Nathan, looking a bit sad, said, "It's been two years since I last saw her. How is she doing?"
