As Janet spoke, she pretended to open the bag of coffee beans. Hearing Janet's words, Becky could not help but smirk inwardly."Oh, there's no need for that. It's such an expensive item. I really shouldn't. Besides, I don't have much time. Ms. Baker, if you have something to say, please get straight to the point. If it's within my duties, I'll certainly do my best."Janet froze for a moment at Becky's response. "It's nothing, really. It's just that, the other night... I wasn't in a good state of mind and acted out of line. I wanted to apologize, Becky. You're not still mad at me, are you?"As Janet spoke, she reached out, attempting to take Becky's hand. Becky flinched, feeling goosebumps rise all over her skin. She could not believe how far Janet would go, pretending to be sincere for Charles' sake.Janet clearly looked down on her, yet here she was, putting on this act."What's wrong? Are you still upset with me?" Janet pouted, looking at Becky with a pitiful expression. To anyo

When Noelle heard Charles say that, the little bit of emotion she had suppressed earlier crept back up. She could not help but glance in Arya's direction. "It's okay, I'll go home by myself. Fortunately, I never canceled the lease on my old place, so I'll just move back in tonight."I'll have my things sent over gradually. Don't worry about me. Once everything settles down, I'll be able to come back."Charles sighed. "I really don't want this.""Neither do I." Noelle could not help but laugh, especially hearing Charles sighing and whining like a child. "But it's a special situation right now; it's not the right time. Charlie, I genuinely want to be with you and spend my life with you. I also want your family to accept me.""I understand." Charles felt his previously tense mood ease as he listened to Noelle. A slight smile appeared on his lips. "Alright, you go ahead.""Okay." Noelle chuckled. "I'm going shopping later.""With whom?" Charles' tone instantly shifted, his presence c

"I think of you every single moment, every second. I wish I could fly to you right now!" Charles rarely spoke sweet words, but when he did, it could take anyone by surprise.Noelle could not help but laugh, her lips curling into a smile. "I miss you too, Charlie. It'd be a lie if I said I didn't. I miss you so much that I don't want to be apart from you, not even for a second!"Hearing Noelle's words melted Charles' heart and completely erased any thoughts of work. "Good girl," he murmured."Alright, since you're home now, and I'm home too, you don't have to worry. I just got back, and I'm all sweaty, so I'm going to take a shower," Noelle said, trying to sound upbeat. "You should rest early. Goodnight.""Goodnight," Charles replied as he ended the call. He stared at his phone, a sharp, intense look crossing his normally calm eyes. He tightened his grip on the phone and only loosened it after several moments.Afraid that she might want to cling to Charles even more, Noelle hung up

Noelle gazed into Charles' eyes, feeling completely captivated and unable to move.Charles smirked when he saw her in this dazed state. He leaned in close, his warm breath brushing against her ear as he whispered, "Naturally, I came here to… do you."A shiver ran down Noelle's spine, her eyes widening in surprise. She pushed Charles away, blinking several times and swallowing hard.Seeing her reaction, Charles found it both amusing and exasperating. He reached out while playfully stroking Noelle's neck. "What are you doing? Normally, you'd be throwing yourself into my arms by now.""No way! You're so improper!" Noelle protested, her face turning a shade of red as vibrant as a boiled shrimp."You're usually somewhat of a gentleman. Maybe not exactly a refined gentleman, but at least not so—mmmph!"Before Noelle could finish her sentence, Charles silenced her with a kiss. She stared at him in shock as he claimed her lips, his tongue tracing the outline of her mouth.Noelle slowly

Janet's people had been following Noelle, but they had not found anything suspicious about her. Every time, Noelle either went straight home after work or spent time with colleagues shopping or dining.She had absolutely no contact with Charles.The people tailing Noelle were assigned to Janet by the Bakers. Janet was aware of their capabilities and did not question their findings. As a result, over time, Janet's vigilance toward Noelle eased somewhat.However, every time she thought about Noelle's face, Janet still felt a pang of discomfort.Janet contemplated whether to find an opportunity to get Noelle out of Collosus Group, but now was not the right moment. Charles did not think highly of her, and if she made an issue over Noelle, who resembled Kelly, it might create a backlash.The more she tried to keep Charles away from Noelle, the more likely he would be drawn to her.After considering this, Janet decided to leave Noelle alone for the time being. However, when it came to
