Noelle could not help but giggle, swatting Charles's hand away. "You're such a charmer. But hey, it's getting late. Since we're skipping the movie, let's head on home."Time had flown by, and they had been strolling by the river for almost an hour. The place was alive with people bustling about, and the streetlights had come to life, casting a warm glow on the water. There was something about the early winter evening that felt almost magical.It had been ages since Noelle felt so calm and content. Her life used to be a whirlwind of travel, never staying put for long. Even with Xavier's support back then, she had often felt overwhelmed by the Shaw family. However, with Charles, his strength seemed to wash away her insecurities, making every awkward moment disappear. With him, she was sure she would never lose her way again."What's on your mind?"Charles squeezed Noelle's hand, noticing her distant gaze.Snapping back to the present, Noelle spotted a young couple on the bridge, wal

"Enough already, you've never been a burden. You're the most important thing to me," Henry said, giving Nancy's hand a reassuring pat. "If you really think it's the right thing to do, then I'll go. However, I'm bringing you with me, just to show our faces.""Alright!"Nancy nodded, pleased, then quickly asked, "Charles, how's the prep for the annual meeting coming along?""Our team's got it pretty much under control. The meeting's in five days, so you guys should definitely come.""And your folks...""They'll probably be there too!"Charles was not too fussed about it. Whether he invited Clarisse or not, she would show up.He knew exactly what Clarisse was thinking.Her departure years ago was not just for the reasons she had given. A big part of it was the embarrassment of facing the Hoffman family. After all those years, her return to Brookville, to the Hoffman family, was bound to be more than just a simple visit. That's why Clarisse was sure to be at the Collosus Group's an

Charles took a quick glance at his phone screen, then back at Ronald. "What's on your mind?""Nothing, really," Ronald said, puzzled by the odd look of Charles's phone chat interface. He never pegged Charles as the type to dive into Messenger, but there he was, thumbing through it. Ronald could not resist a playful jab. "You haven't just added your wife on there, have you?"Charles pocketed his phone with a raised eyebrow. "Got an issue with that?""No way! Why would I?" Ronald backpedaled quickly. "I mean, Messenger's all about keeping in touch, right, Mr. Hoffman? Don't you want to add a few more people?""Such as?""Like Mr. Lennon, Mr. Smith, or even me." Ronald gestured to himself with a grin. "Come on, Mr. Hoffman. These smartphone apps are super handy, right? Staying connected is a breeze. Plus, if you ever ping me on Messenger, you'll get an instant reply, I promise.""So, Mr. Wells, you're saying you'd drop everything to reply to me, even if you were working?" Charles le

With the annual gala happening tonight, the Collosus Group staff could hardly focus on their work, all itching to clock out and get to the venue first. Becky and Janet, the event's chief organizers, had arrived early to oversee everything.However, Janet would not dream of getting her hands dirty. She had shown up early just to check on the number tags.Becky might have been tight-lipped about the whole thing, but Janet had her ways of finding out that a draw would decide this year's opening dance partners – and those number tags were key.After making sure the numbers were all set backstage, Janet finally relaxed and went to say hi to Becky.Becky, who was swamped with tasks, barely had time for Janet, who eventually took the hint and left.Janet was all in for the night's big bash, going all out by booking the same glam squad that works with the A-listers to craft her perfect party look. Becky, on the other hand, had to do some sleuthing after Janet bounced. It took her a good w

"My relationship with Mr. Parker is the same as yours," Noelle replied with a playful grin, brushing off the idle chatter.Arya trusted Noelle. If Noelle said there was nothing to it, then that was that. "Okay, I can breathe easy then. You have no idea. Mr. Parker is a total catch, and girls are practically lining up for him. I just didn't want you getting caught up in all that drama!""Relax," Noelle said, giving Arya's shoulder a reassuring pat. "You're making it sound way more intense than it is. Mr. Parker's a great guy, and he'll find someone just as awesome. You don't need to stress about it."The buzz about Noelle and Brian fizzled out as quickly as it had started. With so many people around, the topic changed before you knew it. Besides, the people at the heart of the rumor did not make a big deal out of it, so neither did anyone else.A little ways off, Janet froze when she caught sight of Noelle's face. She could not tear her eyes away, terrified she was mistaken. However
