“Really? What did you write in that note?” Charles asked with a light laugh, teasing her because he was in a good mood. “Tell me!” 

“Uh, do I have to say it?” Noelle’s cheeks turned pink as she thought about the name she had written down. It was one thing for her to look at it, but the 

idea of Charles seeing it made her squirm. 

“If you won’t say it, then you didn’t write anything!” Charles said, sounding let down. “You don’t even want 

to lie to me now?” 

“I…” Noelle felt like crying, but no tears came. She had not expected Charles to be so difficult. “I really did write something down. Oh, please, can we drop this? Don’t you have work to do? And… just because you’re the boss, it doesn’t mean you can slack off! How are you supposed to be a good role model for your employees like this?” 

Charles laughed. He could almost picture Noelle’s flustered face, but he knew she got embarrassed easily, so he decided to let it go. “Okay, we won’t talk about that anymore.” 

Noelle let out a relieved breath when Charles moved on from the topic. “So, did you need me for something?” 

“Yeah.” Charles nodded. “What do you feel like eating tonight?” 

Noelle was surprised and bit her lip. “You called just to ask me about dinner? That’s not a good use of your time!” She did not know what to do with Charles sometimes. “We could’ve talked about this after 

work.” 

“Uh, I’ve got some free time right now, and…” he paused. “I’ve been thinking about you.” 

Noelle’s heart started racing, and her cheeks turned a little pink. She held her cheek with one hand. You’re so… Well, I–I really want pumpkin pie tonight!”

Charles’s eyes twinkled with laughter. “Okay, we’ll make pumpkin pie tonight. What else would you like?” 

“Meatloaf.” 

“And?” 

“Mashed potatoes.” 

“Anything else?” 

“Barbecue ribs!”

Charles paused and laughed softly. “You’re in the mood for some pretty rich food today, huh? Are you sure you don’t want some steamed veggies?” 

“I just love a hearty meal. What’s wrong with that? Do you have a problem with it?” Noelle, remembering how Charles had been teasing her, boldly teased him back. “Or is it that you can’t afford it?” 

“Alright, we’ll get whatever you’d like to eat,” Charles said, shaking his head with a smile. “If you’re craving something bold and flavorful, it’s only right for me to make it happen.”
