Noelle forced a weak smile and shook her head. "I'm fine, really!" She told Ava to get back to work and made her way to her seat.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ava asked, still worried.

Noelle nodded, and Ava reluctantly went back to his desk.

She tried calling Charles, but there was no answer. It seemed he was busy, too busy to pick up the phone.

Charles was in the middle of a meeting, with his phone on silent mode, so he missed Noelle's call.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, with the recent trouble involving Robert causing a split among the group. Some supported Charles, but others were upset with him, especially since he had bought out Robert and two other shareholders' stakes for himself.
