Chapter 559 Not Much To
Look At
The next morning, in the dining hall of the Emerald Hotel, Sadie sat by the window, a simple breakfast laid out on the table
in front of her.
She held her fork in one hand, while the other scrolled through the tablet beside her plate.
The screen was filled with paragraphs upon paragraphs of detailed information about various collaborative projects.
She was so engrossed in what she was reading that she didn’t immediately notice when someone joined her.
Noah pulled the chair across from her and gracefully took his seat. It wasn’t until he picked up his cutlery that Sadie finally
realized he was there.
She lifted her gaze and found Noah staring at her. A flicker of annoyance crossed her face.
He was like a bad penny that kept turning up.
Sadie put her fork down and spoke in an aloof voice. “This dining hall is huge, Mr. Noel. Can’t you find yourself another table? I’m not interested in sharing, you see.”
Noah was unfazed by her not–so–subtle attempt to make him leave.
He plucked the napkin from his lap and dabbed at the corners of his mouth, even though he hadn’t started eating yet.
For some reason, he found that annoying Sadie was kind of fun.
“Sorry,” he said with an innocent shrug. “I lost my wallet yesterday. I’m afraid I have no choice but to intrude upon you, Ms.
Hudson.”
Sadie’s lips twitched.
Only he could deliver such a flimsy excuse with a straight face.
The esteemed president of the Burgess Group lost his wallet? Ha! What a joke!
But she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, let alone point out his fakery.
Sadie locked her tablet and made to rise from the table.
If Noah wasn’t going to leave, then she was going to do it herself.
But she hadn’t even got to her feet when Tina rushed over with a troubled expression.
“Sadie,” Tina called out, and Sadie noticed that a woman was trailing behind her.
This second woman was all decked out in luxury brands, and she had impeccable makeup, but her eyes were blazing with
unmistakable resentment,

<Chapter 559 Not Much To Look At
Sadie recalled seeing this woman at the banquet back at Splendor Hotel–she and Daren had caught her having sex with
Nathan in the second–floor lounge.
Tina was just about to explain the situation, but Ophelia couldn’t wait.
She stepped forward and scrutinized Sadie with an arrogant, hostile gaze. Her upper lip then curled into a sneer.
“I thought you were some stunning beauty,” Ophelia said sarcastically. “It turns out you’re just an old bitch. You’re not
even much to look at!”
Sadie paused before calmly leaning back in her seat. to assess her uninvited visitor.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Ophelia had come raring for a fight, that much was clear.
It wasn’t hard to guess her reason, either. Ophelia had likely come after hearing about her and Nathan’s so–called
engagement.
It seemed that Ophelia had genuinely fallen for Nathan. Unfortunately for her, that rascal did not reciprocate her feelings.
“Miss Johnson,” Sadie said slowly, “what brings you here this early?”
Ophelia scoffed and rolled her eyes, irritated by Sadie’s composure.
Then she pulled a gold–embossed invitation out of her purse and tossed it on the table in front of Sadie. She did it in a
manner that suggested she was doing Sadie a favor in some way.
