Chapter 1031


    Chapter 1031


    In a particr Italean restaurant.


    Every in-colored table had a delicate vase ced on the surface, and a champagne-colored rose sat quietly in every vase.


    The candlelight flickered.


    ’Thank you foring to see me." Noah bit her lip.


    The soothing music did not seem to help enlighten her heavy heart. She called upon the waiter and ordered two bottles of red wine, then


    poured a ss for Edwin and one for herself. "Mind drinking with me?”


    Edwin nced at Noah casually. What irony, he noted, that he no longer shared her emotions no matter how sad she looked. Needless to


    say, Noah''s emotions did not affect him anymore.


    "Noah, after much consideration, I decided not to employ you anymore. I''ll ask the finance department to reimburse your loss," stated Edwin


    indifferently.


    Noah''s hand froze from reaching out to pick up her wine ss when heard this, and the happiness she


    felt when she knew Edwin was willing to see her disappeared into thin air.


    A moment ago, she even thought Edwin was not really that heartless to her, yet in just the blink of an


    eye, he shattered her hope.


    ’Why?" she asked anxiously. "Did I do anything wrong? It''s not too long since I just started working in


    thepany. There''re a lot of things I''m still new to, sure, but I believe I can do better in the future!"


    Edwin bent his fingers and tapped on the table. “You know I''m not firing you because of your


    capabilities at work."


    She stayed silent for a moment before she understood the real situation. ’ Is it because of Miss


    Winters? Did she misunderstand US when we were in the hospital the other day? Did she force you to


    fire me?"


    Edwin''s eyes squinted at this. "It''s not because of her. I just don''t want to mix work with my private


    matters."


    Noah looked at him, and her gaze faltered amid her heartache when all of a sudden, sheughed dryly.


    "I did an investigation on you before. Over thest five years, you''ve had countless girlfriends. Every


    time you change girlfriends, you''d splurge lots of money on them. Even invest and sponsor a movie for


    them to star in to make them famous. What makes you think you''re mixing work with private matters


    when ites to me? I''m just working in yourpany..."


    As she talked, she even tried to reach out to Edwin''s hand, wanting to press his palm against her


    chest. "You can''t forget me, can you? You can''t let go of our tragic ending and are afraid that it''ll affect


    your marriage with Joanne, is it? Edwin, I''m really sorry. I was wrong. The reason Ie back now is


    that I want to be with you again... Feel my heart. I''ve been missing you all this while."


    Edwin''s steely gaze shed with a hint of disgust as he sharply pulled back his hand. Noah, I always


    thought you were a smart woman. As a smart woman, you should know that you should ce your


    attention on other men!"


    "But I just can''t forget you. What can I do?" Her heart hardened with indignance and dissatisfaction.


    Edwin ignored her teary eyes as he heartlessly replied, "There are plenty of women who love me. Do


    you think I have the responsibility to react to everyone?"


    "You''re lumping me with those women?" Noah felt insulted.


    "I''m done. You can go back to the office next week to settle your resignation procedure," concluded


    Edwin.


    All of a sudden, the phone he ced on the table vibrated abruptly.


    Noah noted that it was a reminder when she nced at the screen. The moment she read it, however, it felt as though a knife was plunged


    into her heart.


    [11:00 p.m. Pick up wife from the set.]


    ''Edwin set a reminder...to pick up Joanne?'' she thought.


    Over thest five years, he had countless girlfriends that Noah had lost count even with the help of her toes. Instead of remembering these


    women''s names, what presents he gave, and their birthdays, it was the job of his personal assistant to record them. He was only responsible


    for talking and flirting with those women.


    ''Does this mean Joanne is special to him?'' she thought.


    She felt as though she got cheated.


    It reminded her of Joanne''s innocent expression when they were in the hospital. It did not look like Joanne did not care about Edwin, but


    Joanne must have thought she was the only one in Edwin''s heart and that no one else could steal him away from her.
