The Cherished Wife

Noelle hesitated for a moment. When she glanced at Ronald, she noticed that he seemed to be startled

as well.

Unable to hold back her laughter, she smiled and nodded seriously. “Yes, you’re very handsome!”

Charles felt a warmth in his heart seeing Noelle’s reaction. He took her hand and placed it on his knee. He then began to gently play with her fingers. “I’m taking you to Royal Star Entertainment for a visit.”

Noelle was surprised. “Why are we going to Royal Star Entertainment?” she asked. Then, she realized something. “Is Winter going to audition today?”

Charles nodded. “Since you have nothing else to do, I thought you could come and see for yourself. Let’s see how good your sister’s acting really is.”

Noelle knew Charles‘ words were not meant as a compliment. She smiled slightly. “Well, I have nothing better to do.”

Although Noelle knew Winter was an actress, she rarely watched the shows Winter acted in. The only time she had seen Winter’s acting was when she brought drama into their real lives.

Noelle thought for a moment and then shared some of her thoughts about today’s events with Charles. “I suspect they want me to resign voluntarily.”

“Does that make you feel disappointed?” Charles asked.

Noelle looked up at Charles and then down at her hand that was resting on his knee.

He was still idly playing with her fingers. She wondered why he found her fingers so interesting. Were they slender? Flexible?

“Well?” Charles prompted, seeing she had not answered. He gently nudged her fingers against his knee. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Noelle came back to herself and smiled. “Not really. I just think it’s a bit redundant. I was planning to resign anyway, so this might be for the best. I’ll resign tomorrow! But it might ruin my reputation.”

“Reputation?” Charles scoffed. “Do you care about something that insignificant?”

Noelle raised an eyebrow. “Don’t you?”

“As long as you’re capable, there will always be people willing to hire you,” Charles replied as he rubbed her palm. His long, well–defined fingers traced patterns on her palm, making her a little ticklish.

When she tried to pull her hand away, Charles held it firmly. His gaze deepened as he said, “Come work at Collosus.”

Noelle was stunned, thinking she had misheard. “What did you say?”

“Come work at Collosus,” Charles repeated earnestly, looking directly at her. Seeing her surprised expression, he smiled and brushed her cheek with his finger. “I know how capable you are. Come join us at Collosus.

Blushing, she moved his hand away and said, “That doesn’t seem right.” After speaking, she glanced at Ronald.

Charles noticed and asked, “Why are you looking at him?”

Ronald immediately straightened up, focusing on driving and pretending not to hear their conversation.

Noelle sensed Charles‘ displeasure and muttered, “I just do want to get in through connections.”
