The Cherished Wife

Chapter 428

Brian had previously misunderstood Noelle to some extent, but after spending time with her, he realized that Noelle was different from what he had initially thought.

He was already aware of Noelle's background, yet she did not put on any airs around him. That surprised him a little.

As the traffic slowly began to clear, Brian decided not to continue the conversation. However, Noelle hesitated before asking, "Mr. Parker, did you assign me to this project because of Charles?"

Brian paused for a moment. "Yes." Since Noelle was being direct, he decided to be straightforward as well.

"Mr. Hoffman did suggest that I guide you. I admit, at first, I wasn't too keen on this arrangement. Nheless, since Mr. Hoffman had faith in you, I figured you must have some real potential."

Noelle suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. "Actually, it's not that he has faith in me; he's just giving me special treatment."

As Noelle said this, she noticed Brian smiling and shaking his head, seemingly unbothered by the situation. She was about to say more when her phone rang.

Seeing it was Charles calling, she glanced at Brian before hesitating for a moment and then answered, "Charlie?"

"Did you go out today?" Charles asked. Noelle nodded. "Yes, I went out with Mr. Parker for an inspection."

Then, she glanced at her watch. "Are you off work? Did you leave on time today?"

"Yes." Charles looked around at the now-empty project department and sighed slightly. "Where are you now?" Noelle replied, "I'm in the city, on Rose Street. How about you head home first? I'll swing by the office, then-" Brian turned his head toward her. "Mr. Hoffman?"

Noelle nodded, and Brian said, "Are you meeting Mr. Hoffman? Tell him I'll drop you off."

Noelle smiled. "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

Brian shook his head. "Not at all. Where are you meeting?"

Having overheard their conversation, Charles raised an eyebrow slightly and then said, "Our fridge is out of fresh ingredients. How about this? Let Brian drop you off at Jenz Plaza, and I'll meet you there." Content

Noelle ended the call and said, "Mr. Parker, could you please take me to Jenz Plaza?"

Brian's eyes flickered, but he nodded. "Sure."

He drove Noelle to Jenz Plaza. From a distance, Noelle spotted Charles standing at the entrance of the mall.

Brian noticed him too and glanced at Noelle. "See you."

"See you, Mr. Parker!" Noelle said as she pushed open the car door and quickly made her way toward Charles.

Seeing Noelle approach, Charles waved to her with a broad smile. Once she was close, he took her hand, and they walked into the mall together. Brian watched them for a moment from his car, smiling wryly.

It was the first time he had seen Charles like this. It seemed he was truly in love with Noelle.

Charles glanced sideways at her, his eyes lingering on her face as he gently tapped her nose. "What do you think? What do you feel like eating?" His gaze deepened slightly as he added, "You seem to have lost some weight recently." Content belongs to noveldrama.org

"Really?" Noelle touched her face, then squeezed her cheeks. "I actually thought I gained some weight. I weighed myself the other day, and I was a few pounds heavier!"
