The Cherished Wife

Chapter 346



Annie quickly explained, "It's not like that. I didn't do anything to Noelle. Last time was my fault. I just ran into her by chance and had a brief conversation. She said she wouldn't hold a grudge."

Annie bit her lip and gripped the stair railing. "Did something happen? I really didn't do anything to Noelle!"

"Alright, I got it," Cody said, waving his hand dismissively. "I need to go out for a bit. If Mom and Dad ask, just tell them I went out for business." Then, Cody went upstairs, changed his clothes, and headed straight to Collosus Group's headquarters.

Meanwhile, Noelle answered all of Brian's questions thoroughly during the interview. In the end, Brian told her to wait for further notice and did not ask anything about her background.

As soon as Noelle left Brian's office, Charles called her. Noelle looked around before answering, "What's up?"

"Finished with the interview?" Charles' clear voice had a hint of amusement. "Hmm?"

"Yeah, just finished. Did you have someone watch me?" she asked, suspecting he had been monitoring her since he called as soon as she stepped out.

Charles chuckled. "Come up here."

"No!" Noelle refused immediately. "I'm going back home."

"Be good. You don't have anything to do at home anyway. Come up. I have something nice to show you," Charles coaxed gently.

Thinking there was not much to do at home, Noelle decided to go to Charles' office. Worried about being seen, she first went to Charles' private underground parking lot before taking the elevator up.

Ronald had been waiting at the elevator door for quite some time When he finally saw Noelle, he hurried to her. "Mrs. Hoffman why did you take so long?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"You were waiting for me?" Noelle asked, looking at Ronald suspiciously. She felt a bit embarrassed. "I was worried about being seen, so I took a detou and

After she explained herself, she continued, "Stop calling me Mrs. Hoffman. You can just call me Noelle."

"Yes, yes. Of course."

Ronald then led Noelle to Charles' office door. He knocked, and after hearing a "Come in," he respectfully opened the door for Noelle.

This was Noelle's first real visit to

Charles' office. The space was minimalist and grand, with a very openview. She entered quietly and closed the door behind her Content

Charles had already looked up. Seeing Noelle, he beckoned her over. "Come here."

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "No. You continue working. I'll just look around."

She surveyed Charles' office, genuinely ignoring him as she leisurely examined the space in detail.

Charles shook his head at Noelle's behavior. Realizing he still had work to do, he resumed his tasks.

After a short while, Noelle finished exploring. Not wanting to disturb Charles as he worked, she sat in the lounge area, picking up a magazine to read.

Finding the magazine dull after a while, Noelle rested her chin on her hand and watched Charles at work.

Noelle had always known Charles was very handsome, the kind of man one could not take their eyes off once they started looking.

She had seen him work at home, where he exuded warmth. However, in the office, he appeared much more serious.
