Enrick's POV

I had previously contacted the driver to meet me at Mr. Martin's house. When I left the house, my driver was already standing by the car and opened the door for me. "Alright, then I'm off." After saying goodbye, I entered the car and sat in the back seat as usual.

Through the glass, I could see my driver starting from there. He, looking curious, asked me, "Is sir alright?" I just nodded in response. Then, he stopped asking questions and drove the car.

During the ride, my mind was filled with Noella's pitiful facial expression. It was an uncomfortable sight for me to see. Especially when this moment popped into my head, I could feel how stupid he was when he was with Darren.

"There's nothing good about Darren. Then, where did the women see her from? If it's Noella, she's such an innocent woman that she can be easily fooled." I mumbled the whole way about Noella and Darren's relationship that I had heard about. I really can't imagine it with a cool head.

It wasn't enough this morning that he surprised me with his arrival. He even ate breakfast with us.I never thought this seemingly perfect man could do unexpected things like this morning. This weekend, I wanted to rest, but instead, he came without even telling me, even with his messed up condition from not being able to sleep all night.All this time, Mr. Enrick has always eaten luxurious food. Then, today, he could eat the food that I cooked, which was such a surprise. He looked very comfortable, even though some sentences insulted my homemade food. But he finished the meal, what a strange man."After eating. Now, he was asleep on the sofa. His face looks tired. He did say he couldn't sleep last night. Hah... now I feel guilty for giving him that instant coffee. I didn't know if he would be awake and instead came here to hold me responsible." Whil

My eyes wandered around the entrance of the division as if searching for someone's whereabouts.I asked myself, "Is it possible that she's still busy?" I shook my head and was surprised when Mina grabbed me from behind."You must be waiting for Mr. Enrick, right? I heard from the few employees who went in there to deposit files that Mr. Enrick was very busy. His secretary kept staying by his side to control everything." Mina's explanation made perfect sense, so it was indeed work reasons that kept her out of sight at the door of the division. This time, I was able to spend time with Mina."Then, you should accompany me to have lunch together. Why don't we go to the cafeteria? I haven't eaten there with you in a long time."

I wish I had the superpower to teleport him out of this world and send him to another planet.He was Darren, the man who didn't know himself and kept interfering with my life. It's annoying to meet him, especially in this way. I was sure that this time, he would definitely make a scene with me, just like before.Darren's presence made me miss the bus. I had to wait for the next hour, which was quite time-consuming. I was just worried my uncle would get nervous because I didn't get home. If only Darren hadn't shown up, I would've been on my way home and met up with uncle immediately."What do you want? Why are you still showing up and bothering me, Darren?" Shaking off Darren's hand, I asked him what he was there for."Now you can act. I can't believe you've changed so much, Noella." Darren smirked at the sight of me, now rejecting his presence.

I couldn't stand every word that came out of Darren's mouth. It's like he didn't have a good education all this time.In my heart, I kept swearing and cursing at what he said. He has no brakes to stop his bad wishes for his uncle. The treasure had blinded him, and he still wanted even more by paying me as a spy."You should be self-aware, Noella. Look at you. It's so shameful and pathetic. You can't fall in love so quickly. You've only just gotten to know each other. While you were just begging me a while ago for your uncle." Again, Darren didn't realize his mistake. He was happy to see me fall so he could use me as he pleased.I was so fed up that I couldn't continue being here anymore. I wondered when the last bus would arrive so I could get out of his way. I was annoyed at Darren for trampling my pride in

Calend always works well, and his movements are fast, so I won't doubt his work."Sir, Miss Noella arrived home two hours ago. It's just that... before going home, she met with Mr. Darren." My hearing wasn't wrong, Calend mentioned Darren's name in his report on Noella.I glanced at Calend out of the corner of my eye, and confirmed that it was true that the name he mentioned was Darren. That nephew of mine from the Stuart Family was indeed ignorant. Although his mother was my half-sister, she had never liked my presence

I saw that Calend had started to send me some appointments that I was going to have today. However, I didn't pay much attention to some of the meetings that were less important to me, such as meeting with Diana and other families."Calend, when is the schedule to meet with them? Didn't I never agree to unimportant meetings?" I contacted Calend through a phone call. I'd rather cancel it now than have to come face to face with those people."I'm sorry, sir. But... the one who contacted me was your own father." Calend sounded nervous answering me. That made me even more annoyed, and I canceled the appointment with them anyway."Cancel it.
