With a quick sip of champagne, she quipped, “Why is Mr. Wall taking so

Sadie managed a forced smile. “I doubt it. He’s with the manager.”

Eva placed her glass down and grasped Sadie’s hand. “Let’s go check on him. Perhaps we can assist!”

Her eyes sparkled with playful mischief.

Before Sadie could protest, Eva was already leading her toward the lounge.

Inside, Noah, with his wine–stained shirt removed, revealed a toned chest.

He reached for a clean shirt on the hanger.

Just then, the door burst open.

Vivi appeared at the threshold, a look of feigned surprise on her face. “Mr. Wall? What are you doing here?”

Noah paused, frowning slightly.

He recognized her–it was Vivi whom he had met before at the Starlight Gala.

Vivi clasped her hand over her mouth, feigning shock. “Oh! I’m sorry, Mr. Wall, I must have entered the wrong room!”

Yet, she made no move to leave, stepping further into the room, her eyes boldly scanning Noah.

“It was such a pleasure to meet you at the Starlight Gala. I didn’t expect our paths to cross again,” she cooed, her voice dripping with saccharine sweetness.

Noah gave her a frosty look, his voice icy. “I don’t recall that.”

He continued dressing, disregarding Vivi’s flirty demeanor.

Her smile stiffened as she felt a surge of resentment.

She hadn’t anticipated such indifference, him completely ignoring her presence.

“Mr. Wall, your memory seems quite selective.” Vivi pressed on, masking her irritation. “I’m Vivi from the Quinn family,

and the chief designer of Majestic Ego.”

Noah finished buttoning his shirt and met her gaze, his patience wearing thin. “Is there something you want?”

“No… nothing really.” Vivi felt a pang of guilt under Noah’s scrutinizing gaze but refused to back down. “I just wanted to

say hello. It’s fate that we meet here.”

“I don’t believe in fate,” Noah replied coldly, turning and walking towards the bathroom to freshen up.

<Chapter 267 Entering The Wrong Room

Vivi’s face paled, then flushed with embarrassment.

Just then, the lounge door swung open again.

“Noah, why are you taking so long to change-” Eva’s voice halted abruptly when she saw Vivi in the room.

Behind Eva, Sadie entered, her heart dropping at the scene.

Vivi, caught off guard by their presence, quickly masked her panic.

“Ms. Shaw, Sadie, hello,” Vivi exclaimed, feigning surprise.

Eva gave Vivi a knowing smile, her voice dripping with insinuation. “Hello, Miss Quinn, what a coincidence.”

“I… I must have entered the wrong room,” Vivi stammered, her face stiffening. She knew Eva was a formidable presence and wanted to sidestep any conflict.

“Oh? Really?” Eva raised an eyebrow. “This lounge is reserved for Noah. How could you have made such a mistake?”

Caught off guard, Vivi struggled to find an excuse.

Noah stepped out of the bathroom, immediately sensing the tension in the room, his frown deepening.

Sadie felt a suffocating pressure in her chest, standing motionless.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, yet she felt no pain.

Vivi noticed Sadie’s distress and allowed a slight smirk to cross her face.

She cast a flirtatious look at Noah, her voice soft. “Mr. Wall, I’ll be leaving now.”

With that, she turned and sashayed out of the lounge, her high heels clicking against the floor.

Eva glanced at Sadie and Noah, her eyes sparkling with playful amusement. “Oh dear, young people are always so impulsive. I’m just an old–timer, so I’ll leave you to it.”

With a graceful turn, she gently closed the door behind her, leaving Sadie and Noah alone.

The lounge was now thick with an awkward and tense atmosphere, so stifling it was hard to breathe.

Sadie bit her lip, striving to maintain her composure.

She reminded herself that she and Noah were on the brink of divorce.

None of this should matter anymore. Taking a deep breath, she turned to leave.
