Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 As You Wish

Sadie understood Tina’s worry–Tina feared that she might lose control of her emotions again once she saw Patrick.

After all, his facial features bore an uncanny resemblance to Noah’s.

“Don’t worry, Tina,” Sadie reassured her. “I’m perfectly capable of managing my emotions.”

Getting out of the car, Sadie composed herself, squared her shoulders, and entered the Chroma Cafe.

Her eyes immediately found Patrick. He was sitting by the window, his face mostly hidden behind a silver mask. He was

sitting up straight, ever refined and dignified.

His long fingers were tapping gently against the table. It looked like he was waiting for someone.

“Good morning, Mr. Noel,” Sadie greeted him as she approached. Her tone was courteous, but considerably distant. “Yesterday at the Glory Jewelry Exhibition, it was a huge misunderstanding,” she explained. “I simply confused you with another person.”

Noah glanced up and swept an indifferent gaze over her, as though he had been expecting her to appear.

He showed no reaction to her explanation. Instead, he rose from his seat and picked up the coat draped over the chair

beside his.

“Since the misunderstanding is now cleared up,” he said coldly, “you may leave, Ms. Hudson. I have other matters to attend

to.”

He turned away, only for Sadie to intercept him.

“Please wait, Mr. Noel,” she said, urgently this time. “The Burgess Group is planning to expand into the domestic market,

right? I’m sure you wouldn’t settle for anything less than the best of the best to partner up with on your endeavors. And I

think we both know that only the Wall Group ticks all your boxes.”

She spoke slowly, enunciating every word to express her conviction. “You’ve been holding back these past few days, haven’t you? Waiting for me to initiate contact?”

Noah paused at her words.

This woman was clever.

He sat back down, his deep eyes never leaving her face. “Then how do you propose we go about our collaboration, Ms. Hudson?” he asked, his voice now tinged with interest.

Sadie sighed to herself in relief. Her gamble had paid off.

She settled in the seat across from him, all confidence and grace. “Before anything else, I’d like to apologize for my behavior last time. To make amends, the Wall Group is offering an additional five percent of interest on top of the existing terms on the contract. If you are agreeable to this, we can arrange for a business dinner this Friday and finalize the details.”

Noah’s eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized the woman before him.

She releed het coffee cup to seal the deal, and Nosh picked up his to link with her

“Do you have any other matters to discuss, Ms. Hodson?” he asked casually after taking a sip

“Well, I heard from the grapevine that Coyle has ales reached out to you” Sadie leaned her elberers on the table and yechers her chin on her intertwined fingers. “What are your thoughts?

Nosh raised an eyebrow “What would you like me to do, Ms. Hudson he asked point blank

Sadie met his gaze steadily. “You are aware of Coyle’s intentions, Mr. Noel I only hope that our collaboration proceeds smoothly and conflict–free.”

Noah chuckled lightly, his gaze laden with meaning “You want me to reject him?”

“Do you have a reason not to?” Sadie asked with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders. “You chose us for what we can offer you, not for the sake of insignificant players in the field.”

She caught Noah’s interest now. This woman was more intriguing than he had anticipated. “You are quite confident, Ms.

Hudson.”

“I am not speaking out of personal confidence. I am simply conveying the power of the Wall Group.”

Noah’s eyes flickered with amusement. He did enjoy interacting with intelligent people.

“All right,” he said, not bothering to hide the smile in his voice. “As you wish.”

Sadie beamed. “Thank you, Mr. Noel.”

With everything out of the way, the atmosphere between them lightened significantly.

Sadie pushed her cup away and made to leave. “I’ll see you this Friday, Mr. Noel.”

“Ms. Hudson,” Noel suddenly called out before she could take more than two steps away.

Sadie paused and looked back, her brows furrowed with a silent question.

“How about joining me for breakfast?” Noah asked, his tone casual.

Sadie hesitated and glanced at her watch. It was actually too late for the breakfast.

But given the conversation they just had, it was rather in bad taste to refuse his invitation

“Why not?” Sadie sat back down and waved for the waiter, then she ordered a few of her favorite brunch items.
