Chapter 66 Look Carefully
At Who I Am
Alex raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with curiosity. “Which one?”
“The Maple Group,” Sadie replied, her voice a gentle whisper, as if confiding a secret. “The CEO’s surname is Dominguez.
Does that ring a bell?”
A mischievous grin slowly unfurled across Alex’s face, lighting up his eyes. “You should’ve led with that. Our families have been friends for generations. Consider it done.”
A flicker of excitement danced in Sadie’s eyes, igniting them with hope. “Really? Help me get that project, and I’ll owe you
a dinner at the finest restaurant in town!”
Alex’s laughter echoed in the room, warm and infectious, enhancing his already striking features.
“It’s a promise!” he declared. “Once you’re on your feet again, I’ll arrange a meeting with Mr. Dominguez myself.”
Sadie’s spirits lifted, a soft blush tinting her pale cheeks. “It’s a deal!”
Alex reached over to press the call button beside her bed, signaling the nurse to attend to the finished IV drip.
As he stood to leave, his voice softened, filled with a tender earnestness. “Rest up. I’ll be here tomorrow to keep you
company again.”
A wave of warmth washed over Sadie, her heart swelling with gratitude yet also burdened by the thought of the
inconvenience she caused Alex.
“That’s sweet, but really, I’ll be fine on my own,” she murmured gently, turning down the offer.
The concern in Alex’s eyes deepened, reflecting a sincere compassion as he gazed at her. “Sadie, don’t shut yourself away from the kindness others offer. This world has a lot of harshness, but there’s also a lot of kindness.” Let yourself accept it;
you deserve that much.”
The words made Sadie’s eyes brim with unshed tears again.
With a quick, shaky breath, she lowered her gaze to mask her vulnerability and managed a subdued nod. Her voice, thick
with emotion, barely whispered, “Okay.”
After Alex’s departure, a heavy silence reclaimed the room.
Sadie pulled out her tablet, her fingers brushing over its surface before she immersed herself in crafting her presentation
and refining her documents.
Next time she met Roy, she wanted to be ready–impressive enough to win him over.
The weight of her decision to part ways with Noah pressed on her, reminding her that from now on, she needed to be her
own anchor.

<Chapter 66 Look Carefully At Who I Am
Once a vibrant and promising designer, she had allowed her talents to dim in Noah’s shadow.
But that was about to change. Determined, she vowed to herself to reclaim the value she had once placed on her own
worth.
The following day, as the noon sun cast stark light through her window, Sadie’s eyes fluttered open. Groggy and disoriented, she squinted against the bright light only to discern a shadowy figure looming near.
Assuming it was Alex, she called out, “Alex, is that you?”
But the response came in a harsh, irate tone that chilled the air. “Sadie, look carefully at who I am!”
Sadie’s eyes snapped into focus, her brow furrowing in distress
as the figure before her became clearer.
Noah stood tall in his impeccably tailored suit, his presence commanding, his expression unyielding.
Confidence and power radiated from him, but the fire of displeasure flickered in his gaze.
