"Well... I just gave it to Mr. Hoffman, and he hasn't said anything yet," Noelle explained. Charles pointed at Noelle's phone, gesturing for her to hand it over.
Noelle bit her lip. "Mr. Parker, I'm with Mr. Hoffman right now, and he says he wants to speak with you!"
Noelle handed the phone to Charles, who took it and said briefly, "This is Charles. I've received the documents you asked Noelle to pass on to me, but I haven't had the chance to review them yet.
"But everything seems fine. I'll get back to you this evening. Since you're not feeling well, take it easy and rest up."
"Yes, Mr. Hoffman!" Brian replied. Since Charles was not in a hurry, Brian naturally did not rush things either. However, Brian seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you with Noelle now, Mr. Hoffman?"
"Is there a problem?" Charles' tone shifted abruptly. Just then, his phone rang.
He glanced down at Noelle and gestured for her to take out his phone and answer it.
Noelle pouted and reluctantly pulled Charles' phone from his pocket. Seeing Becky's name on the screen, she waved it in front of Charles.
"You answer it," Charles said before continuing his conversation with Brian. With no other choice, Noelle swiped the screen and answered the call.
However, she paused for a moment when she saw the wallpaper.
Charles' phone wallpaper was a photo of her, specifically one of her sleeping in bed.
She looked deeply asleep, with her hair in complete disarray. Noelle could not figure out when Charles had taken this photo. He had captured all her bad habits on display, and yet he had made it his wallpaper.
