The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 125

“Noella, I’m thrilled you’d consider going out with me. Does this mean you’ve been missing me?”

Noella had finally figured it out; that damn Phecda had used her account to send the message.

The folks at Polaris Star were a clever bunch, a nightmare to keep in check. They were all geniuses in their own right, with more tricks up their sleeves than a magician!

Even though Noella’s phone hadn’t left her side, they’d still managed to spoof her number and send a text to Palmer!

Megrez was whistling nonchalantly, a knowing look plastered on his face.

“Don’t worry, Boss, we’ve jammed the signals around here. Mr. Pollack’s grand gesture won’t draw any unwanted attention. At most, people will gossip online about some rich kid’s elaborate marriage proposal, making us an overnight sensation,” he boasted with a grin.

Noella sighed at her overly confident team!

Was this supposed to be a good thing?

Alioth, eyeing the roses, chuckled and said, “Mr. Pollack, if you don’t need these flowers, can we turn them into rose petal pies? We’ll even send some your way!”

“Be my guest. These are indeed edible roses, arranged just to brighten Noella’s day.”

Palmer wrapped an arm around Noella’s waist, showing no intention of letting go.

Noella took a deep breath. “Let go, or I’ll have to punch you.”

“A sparring session is part of dating, right? Next time I’ll book us a boxing gym. Does my fiancée prefer that to an underground fight club?”

Though his words suggested a challenge, his hands complied with her request.

Noella turned to face her subordinates, her smile amiable yet tinged with threat, “You’re all in for it now. Just you wait.”

A collective shiver ran down their spines as they clutched their necks and scattered!

Palmer chuckled affectionately, watching the Polaris Star team flee like startled animals.
