Chapter 801

"Exactly, Winter, we're all here!" Rowena said, bustling over with excitement. Even the normally reserved Teresa joined in. "Thanks a bunch, Winter!"Winter's lips twitched sharply, but she quickly plastered on a smile. "Sure thing. You're friends with Noelle, so you're my friends too." She glanced at Rowena, her eyes betraying a hint of scorn. "Rowena, you haven't changed at all! Your fashion sense is still crazy!""That's why we need a fashion intervention from you, Winter!" Rowena was never one to be easily embarrassed and was more thick-skinned than Winter. Winter was a celebrity while she was just a humble reporter, so she wasn't worried about looking silly.Rowena's comment nearly made Winter lose her cool, but she remembered they were surrounded by people and at Saint Di's.Winter was the face of Saint Di, and she could not forget it. She had brought the group of high-society women there partly to flaunt her status.Even though Emilia was not exactly Winter's biggest fan, s

"It's not exactly my style. Saint Di's all about prim and proper dresses fit for a demure lady. I'm definitely not that," Rowena grumbled. However, as her eyes landed on a particular dress, she could not help but be drawn in.Noelle caught a glimpse and instantly knew Rowena was smitten. She waved someone over. "Hey, could you help me get one of these?" Noelle flipped through the catalog and pointed at a particular outfit.The sales associate hesitated, but considering Noelle's apparent connection to Winter, she reluctantly approached. However, her face fell upon seeing the design Noelle was interested in. "Sorry, but that one's not for sale.""Not for sale?" Noelle arched an eyebrow. "Why's that?""It's just not, okay? Why all the questions?""Hmm." Noelle smiled slyly. "Is this how Saint Di treats its customers?""What's going on?" Winter, catching the commotion, snapped her catalog shut and strolled over. "Noelle, show me which one caught your eye."Her face twisted into an a

Rowena, as quick as ever, spun around to face the shop assistant who had just spoken up. "Sir, you're a real charmer. I have to have this outfit. I’ll take it in a size S! Wrap it up for me, please.” Rowena was nothing if not spirited.Winter cut in once more, "But I spotted it first.""Did you pay for it already?" Rowena quirked an eyebrow, flipped through the catalog a bit more, and pointed out several more outfits. "Pack these up for me too. I'm feeling generous today. It's New Year’s, after all. I’d better treat myself a little.”Winter's expression soured. The outfits Rowena had nonchalantly chosen were the exact ones Emilia's friends had been eyeing.The shop assistant, spotting a sale, was quick to respond, "I'll get them wrapped up right away. Will you take them all in size S?"Rowena nodded affirmatively. "Of course. We’re super fit, so we’ll take your smallest size!" She glanced over at the group of well-to-do ladies behind Winter. "Ladies, you don’t have to worry about

Chapter 804

The mention of the annual Collosus event made everyone put their poker faces on—each of them had caught wind of a different tale. However, Noelle was in a league of her own. She had been right there in the thick of it, so she knew what really went down. Winter's composure wobbled, but she clung to her emotions, her lips quivering in a picture of distress.Noelle was no stranger to Winter's damsel routine. In fact, she had seen it enough to write the playbook. Once upon a time, she might have fallen for it, but those days were long gone. She was immune now."The way you and Mr. Hoffman were chatting up a storm that day made you guys look like best friends.”"Enough!" Emilia cut Noelle off mid-sentence. No woman could stand by while her daughter-in-law made a fool out of her son. Emilia was already stewing over the whole mess, but she had hoped to smooth things over with Winter today and remind Winter of her place. Winter needed to understand that she had to act appropriately as a mar

Rowena and Teresa could not contain their laughter after Winter's outrageous claim. Winter got mad when she saw Noelle's friends cracking up together. "Noelle, are your friends always this rude?"Noelle blinked innocently. "Are they not allowed to laugh/ Would you rather they cried, sis?""You...""I think you should go back to shopping with your mother-in-law. Saint Di is a top-notch brand here in Zyphonia, and the clothes are quality stuff. They'd really suit you. Oh, and why don't you try on the outfits the ladies picked out earlier? I'm feeling generous today because Collosus Group gave me a hefty bonus for the new year, so it’s on me!”Emilia's entourage of rich ladies perked up at that. Truth be told, they did not really care who the clothes came from. If it was free, they were all for it. Despite Winter’s bragging, they had hit up plenty of stores without her buying a thing. It was only when they got to Saint Di that Winter finally brought out her purse.Initially, they wer

"Sean..." Rowena turned to Sean, her expression utterly confused. She did not get why Sean was there and was about to ask when his piercing gaze met hers. He flashed a brief, disarming smile. "I take it you're Noelle's friend, Miss Rowena? And the other lady here must be Miss Teresa, right?"Before Rowena could say anything else, she was interrupted: "Hello. I'm Andy, Noelle's boyfriend."Rowena's eyes nearly popped out of her head, her mouth hanging open in shock. "Noelle, he... You two?""Noelle, this is the guy I've been telling you about, my blind date, Andy." Noelle gave Rowena a quick pinch from behind and whispered, "Keep it cool!"Rowena snapped out of her daze. "Oh, so you're the infamous brother-in-law Noelle can't stop talking about..." Rowena said with a playful drawl. "Nice to meet you!"Sean gave Rowena and Teresa a perfunctory handshake before focusing on Winter. "Ms. Shaw, we haven't seen each other for just a few days. Surely you don't think I'm some kind of scoun

Rowena was the first to lose it once they were out of the mall, bursting into laughter. "Oh my gosh. Did you guys see Winter's face? It was priceless. I couldn't stop laughing!"She went to give Sean a friendly pat on the shoulder but realized he was way too tall, so she turned to Noelle instead. "But I'm totally lost. What was that whole act with Mr. Smith all about?"Noelle arched an eyebrow and casually took Rowena's hand off her shoulder. "We're just playing a part!" She turned to Sean with a questioning look. "Where's Charles? You said he was coming, right?"Sean arched his eyebrow too and made a couple of tsk-tsk sounds, putting on a pitiful face. "Come on, do you have to be just like Charles? You’re so distant! Remember, I’m the one who just helped you out. That Charles is acting like a scaredy-cat. He’s too chicken to show up, so he made me fill in for him!"Noelle could not help but laugh when Sean talked about himself that way. Before she could say anything, Rowena jumped

"A bunch of people already know about me and Charles, and it seems like we can't keep it a secret much longer. We never really planned to keep it under wraps anyway!""You're thinking of making it official?" Sean grinned. "That's awesome. I won't have to play third wheel to you lovebirds anymore. You don't know how tough it's been, getting an eyeful of your lovey-dovey act all the time. It's so cringe!""Cringe?" A playful glint appeared in Rowena's eyes as she leaned in and teased, "Mr. Smith, you're familiar with that word? I didn’t know you were so hip with new slang.”Sean arched an eyebrow. "I know way more than you think, kiddo. Did you really think I was out of touch?"Rowena laughed and settled back into her seat, trying to piece together what had happened. "So, you pretended to be in a relationship with Mr. Smith to throw people off? But I'm still confused. Who's Andy? Why did Winter look so scared when his name came up? I've never heard of someone like him in Brookville,

Noelle understood. That explained the stuffy feel of Mr. Fischer's place last time. It had felt like the walls were closing in. "I'll skip the tour of Charles's turf. He can show you around himself next time. But I do want to show you my amazing room.” Sean's smile was confident, like a vendor hyping up his fruit at the market. "Trust me, you guys are gonna love it."Noelle, Teresa, and Rowena just stared, speechless.Sean was not concerned with how they looked. The doors slid open as the elevator dinged at the eleventh floor, and Sean was the first to stride out. He propped the door with his hand, a perfect gentleman, and said, "After you, ladies!"The room Sean had booked was tucked away at the end of the hallway. They passed by a group of burly bodyguards, who made the place feel more like a fortress than a party spot.As they pushed open the door to the room, everyone inside took a brief pause. Charles was the quickest to snap out of it. Spotting Noelle, he beckoned with a gr

Charles flashed a mischievous grin, noticing Noelle's cheeks were red. He slowly stood up, still cradling her waist, and gently set her down in his seat before taking the spot next to her, oblivious to the stunned looks from the crowd.Noelle was mortified. She was convinced Charles had lost his mind. She glanced around at the silent onlookers and let out a nervous chuckle. "Looks like everyone's here, huh? What's the occasion? Are we having a party today?"The crowd gave her blank stares as if she had just said the most ridiculous thing.Noelle thought, ‘I’d better just shut up.’"Don't be shy!" Peter said, breaking the ice. "You two remember me, don't you?""Absolutely, Mr. Lennon!""Please, call me Peter!" he insisted with a firm tone, then changed the topic of conversation. "Sean, you set this up today. What's the plan now? Where are we going?""We're off to grab some food. I've already told Noelle’s two friends over here," Sean said with a whistle, standing up. "Ronald's go
