Chloe felt like her heart was in her throat, making her unable to articulate her emotions. She had worked hard and earned recognition from her teacher for achieving excellent results, only to discover that Joseph had already spoken to the teacher and secured her a high score.
She understood Joseph's good intentions but could not shake off her unease. She felt that all her efforts had been in vain. She had put so much heart into that proposal, yet Joseph seemed to doubt her capabilities.
Noah watched her expression closely and retrieved a brochure. He passed it to her, saying, “I’ve set up an office in Estre, which compliments your business quite well. We can collaborate if you’re interested. As for your family's company, we can explore a merger if you think it's viable."
Chloe was astounded. "You're opening an office in Estre?"
"I like Estre, and my grandfather also wants me to gain some experience there."
"But why me?"
Noah scratched his head and smiled gently. Two dimples appeared on his cheek as he smiled. "Your proficiency in Estrenian and intelligence makes me believe you can handle this and help me overcome any difficulties. Besides, you're an outstanding individual. And let's not forget you're Exotic Star’s ambassador. I see no reason why I shouldn't choose you."
Chloe's eyes welled up slightly, touched by his words. "Thank you for your kind words."
At that moment, she felt even more distraught. ‘Even Noah has faith in my abilities and offered encouragement, yet…’
Soon after, they arrived at the hospital. Before leaving the car, Noah handed her a bag of candies, his bright eyes free of ulterior motives. "I hope these treats will brighten your mood."
Chloe smiled and replied, "Thank you."
She found her way to the nurse's station and asked about Xavia.
"Ms. Xavia? Someone brought her here this morning. She's in Ward 5 on the right side of the third floor. You can go straight in."
