The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 857

Brian did not say anything more. Noelle got the message, though she was not quite ready to drop the topic. "Why? Can't you get over her?"

Her?

Brian gave Noelle a puzzled look, then responded, "How do you know about her?"

It was true? "I don't know her. I've just heard that you had a thing for someone once, but I don't know who. Mr. Parker, people have to move on, you know..."

"Ms. Shaw, my personal life isn't something I need to report to you on."

Noelle's face tensed for a moment, then she let out an awkward chuckle. "Sorry, I crossed a line."

For the rest of their time together, they mostly kept to themselves, speaking only about work. Afterward, they headed back to the office. Noelle stepped out of Brian's car, and he drove off to the garage while Noelle headed inside.

In the grand lobby of the Colossus Group skyscraper, Noelle found her way blocked by two stern-faced men in crisp suits. "Ms. Shaw?"

"That's me. And you are?"

"We've been sent by Sir Hoffman. He requests your presence," the man with the dark sunglasses stated firmly. "Please come with us."

"Sir Hoffman?" Noelle's brow furrowed in confusion, her gaze sweeping across the lobby before settling back on the duo. "You mean Charles' grandpa ?"

Only someone with serious clout like Sir Hoffman could waltz into the Colossus Group and whisk people away on a whim, especially with the weighty name 'Sir Hoffman' in tow.
