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

"You're quite sharp," Brian said with a hint of admiration flickering in his eyes, making him reconsider some of his earlier prejudices about Noelle.It seemed that some people and situations could not be judged solely by appearances or by looking at a resume. If someone like Charles had taken an interest in Noelle, she must have some extraordinary talents. A man like Charles would never be drawn to someone who was merely average.Brian continued, "These are indeed significant issues. If we're going to build and expand in this area, there are many factors we need to consider. That's why we're going over today to take a closer look."Brian's car had just exited the highway and was heading toward West City. He stopped at a gas station to refuel.Noelle took the opportunity to stretch her legs. She walked around the area and took in her surroundings. When she returned, she saw Brian leaning against the car, holding an unlit cigarette.Seeing her approach, Brian put the cigarette away

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

"Yeah," Xavier responded as he pulled out the gift from Charles. Upon opening it, his brows furrowed slightly.Winter leaned in to take a look and found there were two items; one was a global travel package, and the other was a document specifically for Winter.Winter took the document, and her eyes lit up. "It's an endorsement deal with CMC! Gosh, that's such a prestigious Estodian brand. Charles really has such wide connections!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.Compared to the travel package, Winter was far more thrilled about the endorsement. After all, it was not money she lacked but time. This endorsement represented something much more too—fashion resources and a potential increase in her status, which were crucial for her standing in the entertainment industry."Gosh!" Winter was practically over the moon. "Xavier, I just love you so much!" she exclaimed, planting a kiss on Xavier's lips, entirely missing how dark his expression had become.To Xavier, such a gift felt li

"I don't care how your previous agency operated. Here, you follow our rules. Winter needs to be rebranded. Otherwise, her past controversies could easily resurface!"Cade hung up the phone without waiting for a response and then called Ronald to report that he had already given the other party a stern talking-to. 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

Noelle was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. She patted the steering wheel and turned to look at the man behind her. "I hadn't thought of that. If that's the case, then you'd have to call Brian your mentor too!"Charles frowned, closing the file in his hands. "You seem quite pleased with yourself."Noelle bit her lip, trying hard to suppress her laughter. Her shoulders shook as she struggled to keep a straight face, but she shook her head vigorously. "No. Not at all!"Charles narrowed his eyes, his dark orbs glinting mischievously in the dimly lit car. Noelle felt a flutter in her chest and swallowed nervously, but in her anxiety, she accidentally kicked the car door, wincing in pain."What's wrong?" Charles heard her sharp intake of breath and frowned, leaning over to check on her. "Where did you hurt yourself?"He quickly exited the car, opened the driver's side door, and saw Noelle cradling her foot.He gently lifted it and noticed that her ankle was swollen

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?"

"Alright." Noelle nodded. "Hurry up and go."Charles got out of the car and walked into a pharmacy. He bought some medicine, then returned to find that Noelle had dozed off again.He shook his head with a mix of amusement and resignation.When Noelle woke up again, she found herself lying in bed. The bedroom curtains were drawn, blocking out the outside light. She sat up and checked the time, realizing it was already close to 8:00 pm. She had slept for nearly two hours.Looking down, she noticed that her foot no longer hurt, and it had been cleaned and treated with medicine. A smile spread across her face, her heart filled with a warm, sweet feeling.She smacked her forehead when she suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly got out of bed. She got dressed and tidied her hair.She first checked the study but did not find Charles there, so she headed downstairs.As soon as she reached the staircase, Noelle caught the aroma of stew brewing. Her eyes lit up with excitement.She

Although Noelle had encountered Arnold before and had gradually gotten used to him, Arnold's sudden dash toward her still startled her.She quickly got up and tried to move away, but Arnold, thinking she was playing, continued to chase her around.Noelle's face turned pale with fright while Arnold seemed to be having the time of his life."Arnold!" Charles' stern voice cut through the room as he swiftly moved to pull Noelle into his arms, casting a fierce glare at the overly enthusiastic dog.Sensing Charles' displeasure, Arnold immediately calmed down, looking up at Charles and Noelle with a pitiful expression as if he were pleading for forgiveness.Arnold whimpered softly, as if he were protesting Charles' harshness and lamenting that Noelle seemed to have forgotten him."It's okay, don't be scared. 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

However, Charles grabbed Noelle's hand as she was about to go. Noelle turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?""Ignore him," Charles grumbled, casting a displeased glance at the shameless man nearby. "If he wants to eat, he can help himself."Sean clicked his tongue in mock dismay and shrugged nonchalantly. "It's really tough trying to mooch a meal off you. I always have to gauge your mood."Despite his words, he made his way to the kitchen without hesitation as if it were his own home. He grabbed the cutlery and even brought out a bowl for Arnold, placing it on the table.Charles shot Sean a dark look. "Don't let that dog get near the table, or I'll throw both of you out."Sean shivered slightly and exchanged a pitiful glance with Arnold, who looked equally forlorn. Arnold shifted his pleading gaze from Sean to Charles, but upon seeing Charles' stern expression, he wisely turned his attention to Noelle instead.Noelle was already charmed by Arnold's antics.
