Arya happened to come over just then. "Mr. Parker, are you heading out now? Are you going to West City?""Yes." Brian took the documents from Arya, glanced at them, and said, "Redo these. Also, you don't need to come with me today. Noelle will accompany me. I need the revised data on my desk by the time I return."He handed the documents back to Arya. "Understood?"Arya quickly came to her senses but shot a meaningful glance at Noelle. Noelle returned the look with a kind smile.Brian did not pay much attention to the exchange. When he noticed Noelle was not following him, he turned back with a hint of displeasure. "Ms. Shaw, you've just joined the company. Do you want to leave a bad impression on your boss right away?""I'm coming right now!" Noelle hurried to catch up."Mr. Parker, I'm new here and still a rookie. Aren't you worried about what others might say if you take me along on an outing so soon?" Noelle had not thought much of it at first, but Arya's glance just now clea

Meanwhile, Winter stood in the quiet of the night. The atmosphere was as still as water. It was her first time stepping into the home that belonged to her and Xavier, and she could not help but feel a surge of happiness.Previously, Xavier had been living with Joseph and Emilia, but Emilia had thought it was time for her son and daughter-in-law to have their own space, especially since they were both adults. Hence, she arranged a marital home for them well in advance. The house was not far from the Harris family's residence. It was just next door, in fact, making them neighbors.Considering that her daughter-in-law was a famous actress, likely to attract attention, Emilia spared no expense in preparing the home. She decorated it entirely in Winter's preferred style.When Winter stepped inside, she was overjoyed. Even seeing Xavier drunk and passed out did not dampen her spirits at all."Winter, Xavier was just so happy today that he ended up drinking a bit too much. Please be pat

He assured Ronald that there was no need to worry further—he would handle the situation properly.Noelle spent the entire day with Brian, mostly walking and stopping around the abandoned areas of West City for inspections.Brian, being thorough, shared his observations and thoughts with Noelle as they went along. In turn, Noelle took notes while struggling to keep up in her high heels. It was not until the sun began to set that Brian finally called it a day. "That's enough for today," he said.Brian glanced at Noelle and noticed that she could barely stand, let alone walk. However, from morning until now, she had not uttered a single complaint or unnecessary word. She had

Charles stood up with a hint of exasperation. "I'll let you off just this once!"He then leaned down to pick Noelle up. Confused, Noelle asked, "Charlie, what are you doing?""You're injured. How are you supposed to drive? Sit in the passenger seat." Charles lifted Noelle into his arms. Knowing she had made a mistake, Noelle nodded rapidly like a pecking chick, letting Charles hold her close. There was a smile spreading across her face.Charles glanced down at her. "What are you smiling about?""Charlie, sometimes you're so naggy, even more than my grandfathers. You're like a little old man!""Really?" Charles narrowed his eyes, giving her a warning look.Noelle immediately clung to his arm, trying to flatter him. "But you're my little old man!" She reached up to smooth the frown lines on his forehead. "Charlie, don't frown so much. It doesn't look good."As she gently stroked his forehead, she continued like a concerned old lady, "If you get old, how will you keep up with me?"

He won't hurt you," Charles reassured Noelle, gently patting her back to soothe her.Noelle swallowed hard, taking a moment to regain her composure.Feeling embarrassed, she glanc
