Chapter 40 What Had She

Done To Deserve This

Sadie’s high heels clicked sharply against the floor, each step echoing like a mockery of her misplaced confidence.

Kyla watched as Sadie walked away, a smug smile curling the corners of her lips. Her eyes and brows sparkled with uncontained triumph as if she was savoring a small but sweet victory. “Noah, how could Sadie say that?” she asked, her voice tinged with grievance and accusation. “She works for Wall Group, so naturally, her project proposal belongs to the company.”

Noah’s gaze followed Sadie’s departure, his expression inscrutable. He gently removed Kyla’s hand, containing his inner conflict, and said softly, “Kyla, go home.”

Kyla’s smile faltered, her perfectly groomed eyebrows knitting together in frustration. She wasn’t ready to leave, not like this. It had taken so much effort to convince Noah to spend time with her, only for Sadie to ruin everything.

The confrontation with Noah and Kyla had left her emotionally and physically tired, her body trembling with dizziness and exhaustion.

As she thought about her lost bonus, a fresh wave of frustration crashed over her. Her vision blurred, her legs buckled, and before she could steady herself, she collapsed onto the ground. Tears spilled down her cheeks, hot and unbidden.

What had she done to deserve this? She was bewildered by the harshness of her situation.

As Noah stepped outside, he instantly noticed Sadie’s plight. A flicker of surprise crossed his usually stern face, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. “What is she doing now?” he muttered.

But as Noah took in Sadie’s pale face and her lips pressed tightly together, as though she were fighting to hold back the pain, something inside him softened. Almost instinctively, he found himself walking toward her. Before he could second-
