“Mr. Sawyer, today’s meeting went very well. I look forward to our partnership, the woman said warmly.

The woman beside Nicolas was dressed in a sleek business outlit, her figure accentuated by the tailored cut. Every movement exuded. mature charm and confidence–she was captivating

Nicolas smiled with his usual gentlemanly poise. “I’m also looking forward to working more closely with your team?

Angeline Hancy let her eyes linger on him, a glint of interest flashing in her gaze. Her red lips curved. “It’s still early Would you honor me with a drink?”

Nicolas maintained his polite smile as he replied, “That’s kind of you, Miss Haney, but I have other plans this evening.”

“Oh? I see” Angeline didn’t press further. She just shrugged lightly and smiled. “Then let’s plan for another time.

“Of course. Next time, dinner’s on me, Nicolas said with practiced case.

“Ti see myself out.”

As Angeline turned and walked toward the parking lot, Nicolas stood in place, watching her leave. Once she was out of sight, he turned to Bryan “Bring the car around.”

“Yes, sir.” Bryan said and made the call

Just then, a soft, sulky voice drifted in from behind. “Nicolas…

Nicolas froze for a second, then turned–only to see Noelle stepping out from behind a column. Her face was pale from the cold, nose tinged pink, and she was sniffling like a pouty little kitten, glaring at him with barely contained grievance

“Noelle?” He blinked, surprised. Before he could even ask why she was there, she beat him to it.

“Who was that woman you just walked out with?” she demanded.

She’s jealous, Nicolas thought, and couldn’t help the amused smile tugging at his lips.

He walked over to her, took off his scarf, and gently wrapped it around her neck. “She’s the business partner I met today. Angeline Haney, 25, daughter of the Chamber of Commerce president and lead negotiator for this deal.”

“Oh really?” Noelle poured, eyes narrowed. “She seems into you.

“She doni?” Nicolas chuckled.

“Of course,” Nicolas said casually

continued softly, “And even if she did have feelings for me, so what? I only have eyes for you. Isn’t that all that matters?”

That completely melted her

Her anger faded, and she let out a lande huff. Then the tilted her chin with pride. Fine. Since you put it that way, I’m not mad anymore”

Seeing his girl appeased, Nicolas smiled and took her freezing hands, slipping them into his coat pockets.

“How long w

“Next time, don’t freeze yourself for a surprise. Understood?”

“Yes, sir. Noelle nodded obediently.

Just then, the car arrived. Nicolas opened the door and gestured. “Let’s go.”

“Okay” Noelle hopped in, and Nicolas followed.

Neither of them noticed Angeline still sitting in her car nearby. She leaned against the window, watching their affectionate exchange-

So that man can be that gentle too, she thought with a faint smile. Interesting

On the way home, Nicolas asked Noelle about her day at the lab.

Instead, he pulled her into his arms, gently kneading her hand. “Don’t push yourself too hard. Your Nicolas might not be strong enough yet–but I hope you’ll trust me at least a little.”

“Nicolas.” Noelle was touched.

He was giving her everything–unreservedly. Yet she was still hiding so much from him. It really wasn’t fair.

He glanced at it, and his expression instantly turned cold.

Nicolas’s eyes darkened.

“What’s wrong!” Noelle leaned in curiously.

He gave a low chuckle, full of contempt. “The Sawyer family. I’ve been hitting them too hard with the acquisitions lately, looks like they’re starting to snap. You didn’t notice anything strange today, did you?”
