Chapter 329 Failed
The alcohol numbed Noah’s senses, leaving his mind scattered.
The only thing he could clearly recall was Vivi endlessly chattering about Sadie and Majestic Ego.
Yet, deep down, just one name occupied his thoughts–Sadie.
“Mr. Wall, are you okay?” Vivi noticed the way Noah fixated on her in silence, his stare unwavering and intense, sending a
chill down her spine.
She hesitated before cautiously resting her hand on his arm, testing his reaction. “Did you… have too much to drink?”
Noah remained unresponsive. His body felt heavier with each passing second, his eyelids drooping.
Instinct urged him to move away, but his limbs refused to obey.
“Mr. Wall, you…” Vivi’s hand trailed up to his chest, her fingers toying with his shirt buttons, teasingly.
She sensed a faint tremor run through him.
A thrill sparked within her–this was her chance!
She inched closer, lips slightly parted, her warm breath brushing against his skin as she whispered, “Mr. Wall…”
Just as she was about to press a kiss to his cheek, Noah abruptly swung his arm with force. “Get lost!”
His voice was rough, laced with irritation.
Vivi’s hands froze midair, her complexion paling.
She hadn’t expected such a harsh rejection.
“Mr… Mr. Wall…” Her voice wavered, her confidence shaken. “Did I… do something wrong?”
Noah’s brows knitted together as he struggled to open his eyes, his gaze falling on the blurred figure before him.
“Who are you?”
Vivi’s body stiffened, a chill creeping up her spine.
She swallowed her embarrassment and forced a smile. “Mr. Wall, you’ve had too much to drink. It’s me, Vivi…”
“Vivi?” Noah’s eyes remained clouded with confusion. “I don’t know you…”
With that, he shut his eyes again and attempted to get up, his body unsteady.
Alarmed, Vivi rushed forward to steady him, worried he might collapse.
“Careful, Mr. Wall…” Her tone was gentle, as though nothing had just occurred.
But her hands clenched into fists, nails biting into her palms.

Superessing the frustration rising within her, she composed herself.
Then, het gate Buckered with an idea “Mr. Wall, did you drop something?”
Her voice carted a playful undertone laced with intrigue.
Noah bowed slightly, his irritation evident, but he reluctantly opened his eyes.
“What?” His mice remained low and hoarse.
His reaction made Vivi’s heart race with anticipation.
I think something fell just now…” she murmured, her tone dripping with implication.
h’s gaze turned hary as he followed Vivi’s line of sight, looking down at himself.
His shirt was slightly undone, exposing a glimpse of his defined collarbone.
Viet’s stare lingered there for a moment before trailing further down.
Noah’s breathing became heavier.
“Mr. Wall Vivi’s voice turned even softer, sultry. “You really did drop something…”
As she spoke, she leaned in closer, her hand reaching for his belt.
