Nolan looked at Henry with thickly veiled admiration. His jealousy had been founded in the expected outcome. Henry Wong when he wanted to be was quite the charmer. Nolan couldn"t help smiling back when Henry brought out his megawatt business mogul smile. It was the same practiced smile that Nolan had seen on Forbes but the effect in real life was much more effective at quelling his every emotion. It was as if everything made sense in the world which did feel nice, Nolan had to admit to himself. He bit back the smile, but could not control the curling of humor in his lips as he took Henry"s offered hand. "I am very happy to meet this side of you, Mr Wong. I am Nolan Amadeus Wolfgang Chen. I am very glad to know you better as a brother and I am not unhappy that you choose my sister to help you when you did."
As the awkward handshake turned into a brotherly gesture Ellie looked ripe as a peach with joy. Nolan decided there and then that he would later privately thank her for giving him this opportunity. It was a refreshing start to have such a friend and ally instead of as an enemy.

Nolan was relieved to know that with this new ally he has to make pains to understand the miserly man. But, he was chipper to see the gloominess was really to hide his soft side.

Belonging to a corporation, although commonly highlighted in news broadcasts did not mean that the person was likely to be money hungry and corrupt. Nolan was sure that the folks with less money in a neighborhood could be just as likely to cheat and steal.
After a couple hours, an alarm went off on Henry"s apple watch and he reluctantly admitted he had to tend to some things he had been avoiding over at the office. Ellie and Nolan sat catching up for a while before Nolan too admitted that it was getting late for him as well. As he turned to pack up some of his things he saw a look of pure exhaustion on Ellie"s face. Nolan touched her forehead in a concerned way. He asked her, "Do you remember when Michael or one of the nurses said that Dr Wu would come to check up on you? Ellie, I hope it soon. You don"t look too good right now." Nolan checked his watch before running through the papers in his messenger bag again to make sure he hadn"t misplaced anything he needed to still grade
