Charles left after that, leaving Ronald and Brian staring at each other in surprise.
Brian, in particular, was even more shocked.
He had not expected Charles to so openly admit to favoritism and to do so in such a thorough manner.
The West City Development Project was incredibly challenging, and even he was not fully aware of all the difficulties it entailed. With so many experienced people in the project department, not everyone had the qualifications or experience to participate.
Yet, with just one word from the boss, a newcomer like Noelle, who was practically a novice, got to join the project.
Brian found this hard to accept.
Ronald sighed and patted Brian on the shoulder. "You'll get used to it. You have no idea how surprised I was the first time I saw Mr. Hoffman being so attentive to Ms. Shaw. I almost couldn't believe my eyes!"
"Mr. Hoffman, being attentive? To Noelle?" Brian's eyes flickered with realization. "Are they…"
Ronald nodded. "It's exactly what you're thinking. Just take good care of her. Think about it—she could've easily stayed at home, but she wants to work. Mr. Hoffman doesn't want her to work anywhere else, which is why he brought her into his own company.
"And since he trusts you the most here, you're the one who'll guide her. So, good luck!" Ronald patted Brian's shoulder again. "I believe you can handle it!"
