The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 503

"Don't you want to know what's going on?"

Brian watched Arya zip over to another table to chat and snoop, while Noelle was contentedly focusing on her meal. He was a bit confused. "I thought you were close to the big shot upstairs?"

Noelle took a bite of her food and looked up with a slight frown. "How do you expect me to answer that?"

Brian realized Noelle was not wrapped up in the drama and chuckled. "Looks like I'm the one who's too curious for their own good."

"Yeah, seriously. You're a big guy, so why are you so into the rumor mill?" Noelle chuckled, spotting Arya bounding over with a look of sheer excitement. "You guys will never believe what I just heard!"

Arya was practically bouncing with enthusiasm, so Noelle played along. "What's the scoop?"

"That new girl who just showed up on the 27th floor today is Mr. Hoffman's uncle's daughter. But get this—there's no family tie by blood. She's not here to work; she's here on a manhunt!"

Noelle hesitated. "A manhunt?"

She did not know much about Charles's family aside from the two sisters he had mentioned, who were not even in Brookville at the moment. Noelle was aware Charles had an older sister who was married, but as for the rest of his relatives, she was clueless.

Could it be the woman she had seen at the company entrance last time, the one related to Charles's uncle?
