The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 555

"And why shouldn't I be here?" Janet eyed Becky with suspicion. "Besides, HR's out, I heard they're handling some business, and no one's gotten those documents for me." She glanced at Becky, then followed her line of sight to catch a glimpse of a woman slipping into Charles's office. Her gaze sharpened instantly, zeroing in on the door. "Who was that woman who just went in?"

"What woman?" Becky hesitated, feeling Janet's piercing stare, and quickly regained her composure. "Oh, the woman who entered Mr. Hoffman's office? She's from the project department. Mr. Hoffman asked them to come up to talk about the project." Becky explained, noticing Janet's expression was far from pleased. "Ms. Scott?"

"Is there just one woman in the project department?"

"No, there's a bunch," Becky replied, confused. "Ms. Scott, why do you ask?"

"Who was that who just walked in? What's her name? How's she doing at Collosus Group?" Janet fired off a bunch of questions, and Becky was jolted back to the moment.

Was Janet seeing Noelle as competition? Becky quirked an eyebrow. "Her name's Noelle. She's in the project department, Mr. Parker's right-hand woman. Mr. Hoffman only brought her up for some work stuff!"

"Really?" Janet was not quite convinced. "Becky, don't play me. We're buddies now!"

"Ms. Scott, you're kidding, right? You've been nothing but awesome to me, I'd never trick you! Anyway, I'm done with my stuff, so how about we brainstorm a bit? Doing the same old thing every year is getting old. Maybe we shake things up this year, could even turn Mr. Hoffman's head our way!"
