Noella's POVBack in Mr. Enrick's office, I'm still tired from dealing with the people outside this room. Now, I'm faced with a reality I can't avoid. Sitting in the work chair across the way, Mr. Enrick was doing the same thing. This time, he was only back to his cold, stiff demeanor. It was not a partner who was behind the door of this room.Since entering this room, I saw Mr. Calend sitting on the chair before Mr. Enrick. His face looked pale like he was tired of his work. Mr. Calend was the one who always worked hard by Mr. Enrick's side, so it was no wonder he looked like he hadn't slept or rested.Mr. Calend waited for his boss to examine the file he had brought. It seemed to be important client data or the results of a meeting with a client that needed to be double-checked. When our eyes accidentally met, I saw Mr. Calend exhaling. Apparently, the file had been checked and could proceed for further action. You can be sure that it is the signature of the contract with the client

Noella's POVThe preparations for today's party were ready. It's just that I'm still in the office and finishing up today's work. The party will take place in a few hours. However, I felt uneasy because I hadn't found a salon or a place to apply makeup. Mr. Enrick only told me to bring the dress he bought yesterday, and I also wore the necklace he gave me last night.Until finally, it was time to go home. Mr. Enrick took me to go to a special salon. Inside, I see that I'm the only customer at the moment. It wasn't like the salon was closed, but the whole place seemed to have been specially booked.A skilled make-up artist began to change my appearance. I heard Mr. Enrick call her by the name Julia. A humble figure, but one with skilful hands to change a person for the better."So, I'll get started. You can calm down and relax while I work. Don't be nervous or feel small. I meet many clients, and they have many different skin types. I'm really lucky this time, your face is beautiful, a

Noella's POVAt this party, chairs were set up at the edge of the room. If they usually enjoyed the party with no seats, this time seemed different. Earlier, Mr. Enrick explained to me that there might be no seating at this party. This made the guests enjoy the meal and the welcome standing up.Now we were sitting on one of the chairs in the front row, closer to the host of this party. Right now, I was feeling scared because of the incident in the toilet. I'm sure Mr. Enrick must have thought that I wouldn't be able to handle Emma well earlier. "Enrick, I apologise for what happened earlier."Unexpectedly, Mr. Enrick replied without looking at me coldly. "I don't need your apology, Noella." I paused for a moment at the words that came from his lips. Making me feel uneasy and restless."I've thought about your words, Enrick. I-" My words were cut off because Enrick glanced at me sharply. as if he wanted to tell me something. So, I paused and waited.I've thought about it, to decide not

Noella's POVTired of their increasingly demeaning and belittling remarks, I took a step to leave. However, just as I turned around, Emma stopped me by holding my hand. She didn't seem to let me leave their presence easily.They really took the opportunity when Mr. Enrick wasn't by my side. Deliberately wanted to bring me down by brutally attacking me. They think that if I am humiliated and belittled, my confidence will disappear, and I will no longer be able to hold on to this position. Unfortunately, everything Mr. Enrick taught me, I already understood so that no one would be able to influence me anymore."You'll soon be banished by Uncle Enrick, Noella. Don't be happy with what you've got now. You are just a cheap woman." Emma laughed after saying her sentence, so satisfied at being able to insult me.Unfortunately, I wasn't affected by Emma's words. I just stared back at him and waited to see if there was a next sentence. Sure enough, not long after that, Emma again said, "Your l

Noella's POVMr. Enrick brought me to the veranda after a heated argument with Darren and Emma. I felt a little weak. Moreover, fighting them was really emotionally and energetically draining. It seemed pointless, but these two wouldn't shut up if left alone.I felt relieved now, especially being able to breathe the air outside. Not long after, Mr. Enrick brought a glass of drink for me. We were on the veranda alone while enjoying the fresh air. Mr. Enrick also struck up a conversation."Are you alright?" Mr. Enrick was so attentive to me. It was nice that someone was paying attention to my current feelings. I really wanted to be honest with him, but I didn't. I didn't want to create a new problem by telling him how bad I was feeling.I smiled and replied, "I'm fine, Enrick. It's all because you're always helping me to deal with them. It's satisfying to see that they didn't move when arguing with you there. It's just that I'm worried about your reputation in front of the businessmen i
