Chapter 1045


    After brewing the cup of coffee, Noah handed it over with both hands before stepping back and


    replying, "A call came in just now, Mr. Adams. The caller was Miss Reed of Paradigm Co."


    As soon as he said it, Mitch''s hand suddenly trembled, causing the coffee to spill out onto his hands


    and scalded him. He then quickly jumped from his chair and toss the cup away.


    Crack! A loudmotion ensued.


    The porcin cup was smashed into pieces.


    Not only was the coffee spilled everywhere, the ck stains of the coffee contrasting the white tiles


    made the scene look very dirty.

    However, all of this was not important. What was important was that Mitch was burnt.


    As the coffee was freshly brewed, it scalded his hand to the point where it reddened immediately.


    Feeling the pain of his flesh, Mitch started to tremble as his chubby face started to shake as well.


    Noah never thought that a sentence from him could scare a person to this point. After a moment of


    shock, he finally came around and quickly rushed over with an ice pack. "I''m so sorry, Mr. Adams. I


    forgot to remind you that the coffee was hot. Here''s an ice pack. Quick, apply that."


    Seeing the ice pack, Mitch snatched it over and ced it on his hand.


    With the help of the ice, he felt that his pain lessened a whole lot more with theyered muscles on


    his face slowly unclenched.


    His beady eyes, though, were still kept on Noah.


    If not for more important matters, he would have scolded him. He can''t even do such a simple thing.


    How stupid.


    Noah, who knew that this fatso had to be cursing him inside, pouted. Curse me all you want.l''m


    going to quit anyway. I don''t care if the woman will be able to keep thepany afloat, I won''t be


    staying here any longer.


    Of course, since he had not quit yet, he did not voice this out. Otherwise, this fatso might tamper


    with my resignation application and not let me go.


    "Mr. Adams, I''ll get some tools to clean the floor." Noah bowed subtly and turned around.


    Mitch stopped him. "Wait a minute; that can wait. Did you just say that Sonia Reed of Paradigm Co.


    just called?"


    Sitting down, Mitch became quite solemn.


    Now, he did look somewhat like a chief editor.


    "Yes." Noah straightened himself.


    Clenching the ice pack on his hand, Mitch asked, "She must have called for the scandal that was


    published. Maybe she''s already onto us. What did she say?"


    Noah looked up at him. "She asked us why we published


    this baseless scandal."


    "That''s it?" Mitch was in disbelief.


    Shaking his head, Noah continued, "Of course not. Miss Reed also asked who made us do it."


    This scared Mitch again as the fat on his face jiggled. "What? Did she really ask us that?"


    "I swear by it." Noah nodded.


    "How can that be?" He threw the ice pack aside and stood up to pace around the office table with a


    slightly hrious expression; it disyed signs of worry, anxiety, and fear all at once.


    While pacing around, he mumbled, "How did she know that we had someone instructing us?"


    Noah, who saw that he was not looking at him, tantly rolled his eyes at him. "Mr. Adams, Miss


    Reed is no fool. The news is fake and there aren''t any cracks in their rtionship. Us publishing this


    news when their rtionship is so solid is just tantly insulting them. And, what kind of small scale


    company like us would dare to offend President Fuller? Who knew, that was exactly what we did.


    This was no different than announcing to everybody that someone is backing us."


    Mitch stopped walking, for his face turned pale. "I didn''t think of this. What should we do now?"


    Looking at Noah, he wore a panicked expression. "If we''re only creating baseless rumors, that


    would still be fine; now that they know we did it for money, it would only get worse for us. If


    President Fuller really wants to target us, we won''t even have the slightest chance of resisting.


    We''re in deep trouble now!"


    Noah was smirking inside. Now, you''re afraid? Then, why did you do what you did?


    Even though he was thinking of it, Noah did not dare to say it as heforted Mitch, "What do you


    have to be afraid of, Mr. Adams? Didn''t you say that you did it because the woman was a capable


    one? She said that she would be able to keep thepany and you safe even when


    President Fuller is targeting us, didn''t she? So, what do you have to be worried about?"


    "Yeah, she did say that." Initially shocked, Mitch thenughed. "Oh my, I was frightened by your


    words earlier. This hadpletely slipped my mind. Yes, she did say that, so we don''t have to worry


    about anything."


    After that, Mitch sat back and let Noah pour him another cup of coffee.


    Doing that, Noah set the cup in front of him as his eyes glimmered before he asked, "Mr. Adams,


    now that we don''t have to worry about President Fuller, what about Miss Reed?"


    Mitch sipped on the coffee before sneering, "We''re not even worrying about the big guy, so why


    should we concern ourselves with the little wife? She''s just some princess from a fallen family. She''s


    nothing without President Fuller. Besides, she''ll be even less of a threat when President Fuller


    breaks up with her."


    Smiling, Noah kissed up to him. "You''re right, Mr. Adams, but how are you so sure that they will


    break up?"


    Mitch wiggled his plump finger while looking high and mighty. "This is something you don''t know.


    You haven''t been in a rtionship, right? Men care about their reputation. Even though the scandal


    is fake, Sonia did enter the hotel with that random Charles. Now that the surveince has been


    wiped, they can''t prove their innocence entirely. Also, with how trending this news is right now and


    the help of our people spreading the rumors online, almost everybody believes that Sonia cheated


    on President Fuller. So, even if he believes that Sonia did not do that, doubts would start to form in


    his mind. When a man has these kinds of doubts, he will not be able to erase them as these


    thoughts will only encroach upon his mind. Even if they won''t break up now, they will still do it


    sooner orter. Just sit back and watch."


    "So, I see. You''re really something else, Mr. Adams. You know so much." Noah gave him a thumbs


    up.


    In a good mood, Mitchughed heartily. "That''s nothing. Since I''ve lived twenty years more than


    you, it''s only natural that I know more than you. You''ll know more of these wisdoms when you get to


    my age." "I understand. I look up to you, Mr. Adams. You''re my role model," Noah said proudly.


    Mitch, who was slowly liking his words, started to admire him as well.


    Seeing this, Noah knew that the time was opportune, so he asked, "Mr. Adams, I''m still curious


    about something. Who is this woman? How does she actually have the ability to save ourpany


    from President Fuller''s attack? I''ve never heard of anydy from a prominent family that has such


    an influence."


    Thanks to his non-stop praises earlier, Mitch''s impression of Noah had improved a lot, so he did not


    bother to hide the truth from him this time.


    Taking another sip of his coffee, he said, "If you really wanna know, I don''t mind letting you in on


    that little secret."


    "Okay." With bright eyes, Noah stuck his hands into his suit pants.


    Ignoring his actions, Mitch ced his cup down and continued, "The reason why she can save our


    company from President Fuller is not because she has a prominent family backing her..."
