The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Annie quickly explained, "It's not like that. I didn't do anything to Noelle. Last time was my fault. I just ran into her by chance and had a brief conversation. She said she wouldn't hold a grudge." Annie bit her lip and gripped the stair railing. "Did something happen? I really didn't do anything to Noelle!"

"Alright, I got it," Cody said, waving his hand dismissively. "I need to go out for a bit. If Mom and Dad ask, just tell them I went out for business."

Then, Cody went upstairs, changed his clothes, and headed straight to Collosus Group's headquarters.

As soon as Noelle left Brian's office, Charles called her. Noelle looked around before answering, "What's up?"

"Finished with the interview?" Charles' clear voice had a hint of amusement. "Hmm?"

"Yeah, just finished. Did you have someone watch me?" she asked, suspecting he had been monitoring her since he called as soon as she stepped out.

Charles chuckled. "Come up here."

"No!" Noelle refused immediately. "I'm going back home."

"Be good. You don't have anything to do at home anyway. Come up. I have something nice to show you," Charles coaxed gently.

Thinking there was not much to do at home, Noelle decided to go to Charles' office. Worried about being seen, she first went to Charles' private underground parking lot before taking the elevator up.

"You were waiting for me?" Noelle asked, looking at Ronald suspiciously. She felt a bit

embarrassed. "I was worried about being seen, so I took a detour and almost got lost!"
