The Cherished Wife



Seeing that Noelle had no intention of talking to Xavier, Arya grabbed Noelle's arm, ready to leave. Nevertheless, Xavier would not let them go so easily. "Noelle, can't you just hear me out?" he pleaded.

"And what do you want to say, Mr. Harris? I don't think there's much left for us to talk about, is there?" Noelle smiled lightly. "Whatever you want to say, say it here. I'll give you two minutes, and then we're leaving."

Xavier was about to react angrily, but seeing Noelle's face, he restrained himself. "How are you doing at Collosus Group?" he asked instead. "Mr. Harris, can't you tell? I'm doing quite well. As long as I don't see any of you, I'll keep doing well. Is there anything else you'd like to know?" Xavier's expression soured slightly, but he pressed on, "As long as you're well, that's good. So, um... which department are you in at Collosus Group now? I remember you were in the project department before. After leaving Frotconn, I thought..."

"Mr. Harris, get to the point! You're probably not at Collosus Group just to see me today. What do you want?"

"I... I just wanted to see how you're doing and ask about the West City project. Since you're in the project department, you probably know something about it, so—"

Noelle interrupted, "Sorry, you should know that I'm now an employee of Collosus Group. This information is all internal, and it doesn't seem appropriate for you to inquire about it. If I told you, wouldn't that make it hard for me to keep my job in this industry?"

Xavier's expression stiffened slightly. "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask if you knew any inside information. Why did Collosus Group suddenly decide not to partner with Frotconn? Wasn't it previously..."

"Decide not to? Did Collosus Group ever say we would partner with Frotconn?" Noelle scoffed. "Or was that just your own assumption?"

She glanced at her watch. "Two minutes have long passed. I'm sorry."

Noelle gave Arya a quick look, and Arya immediately chimed in, "Sir, the questions you're asking involve internal matters of our company. Please don't make things difficult for Noell Regardless of whatever your relationship might be, separating personal matters from business is a basic principle, right? Sorry, we really need to go."

With Arya present, Xavier could not really do anything to Noelle.

After Noelle and Arya left, Xavier realized there was no point in staying any longer, so he left as well.

Even though Noelle had not given him any useful information, her attitude made it clear that Collosus Group never intended to partner with Frotconn in the first place.

As Noelle and Arya walked away, Arya could not help but curiously ask, "This Xavier guy isn't connected to Mr. Hoffman, is he?"

"I don't think so," Noelle replied, pulling a wry smile.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

To be honest, there was not any

direct connection, but given the

Harris family's usual approach, it was obvious they were trying to get closer to Charles. However, they clearly had not figured out their position yet.

"So, what's your relationship with him? I got the feeling he was looking at you strangely, and the way he talked was odd too. He seems nice on the surface, but if you look closely, he's just not

likable-especially since he's trying touse to use you."
