    Sean closed his eyes for a moment, trying to let it go. “Okay, enough about that. I’m heading out in


    two days. Can you look after Arnold for me?” He got up to leave, then hesitated. “And my cousin…


    if he bothers you, just… try to cut him some ck, okay?”


    Charles nodded, giving Sean a quick look. “Just watch your back, alright?”


    Sean gave a half–smile, a hint of caution in his voice. “You‘


    got to watch your back these days. I hear you’re nning to take on Robert? He may not be a tiger,


    but watch out. Even a kitty can pack a punch!” Grabbing his suit jacket from the chair, Sean headed


    for the door and spotted Noelle with two bowls of gazpacho. “Is this for us?”


    Noelle nodded. “Try it!”

    Sean chuckled. “I’d love to, but I’ve got some loose ends to tie up at the hospital. Save it for a toast


    with my bro!”


    “Sure thing. Catch youter!” Noelle replied with a warm smile, missing the stern look on Charles’s


    face as


    Sean left.


    Turning around, Noelle found Charles holding her bowl. “Want a taste? I made it earlier and just


    chilled it. Should be perfect!”


    Charles gave a sly squint, letting the previous topic slide. He sipped the soup, his eyebrows lifting in


    approval.


    Seeing his reaction, Noelle’s tension melted away. “Well?”


    “It’s delicious!” Charles said honestly. “The perfect mix of tart and sweet, and just the right chill!”


    “Great! If you like it, have some more!” Noelle beamed. “I overheard you guys earlier. Running into


    any trouble?”


    Charles downed the rest of the soup and handed back the empty bowl, which Noelle took with ease.


    He hesitated for a moment. “Nah, just the usualpany red tape.”


    Noelle gave a quick nod. “You‘


    got stuff to do, so I’ll let you get back to it!”


    Charles caught her hand, causing Noelle to give him a confused nce. “What’s up?”


    “You’re with the Frotconn


    project team, right?”


    “Yeah, that’s right, the pro


    team,” she confirmed, then hesitated. “Something wrong?”


    Charles shook his head. “Ever thought about leaving Frotconn?”


    That threw Noelle for a loop. Honestly, the thought had never crossed her mind. Charles seemed


    different today, and it made Noelle give it some real thought. “Why would I?”


    She gave a smallugh. “I’m not the type to just quit, but I’m also not going to bang my head


    against a brick wall. Leaving because of something Xavier did is not my style.” She eyed Charles.


    “However, after the mess today, maybe it’s time to think it over.”


    Charles nodded in agreement. “Frotconn’s hit a ceiling. Joseph’s stuck. He never thought to use the


    resources Collosus Group offered him to grow. Instead, he’s just trying to snag benefits from them.

    Noelle bit her lip. “I might not see things the way your big boss does, but Frotconn’s definitely got


    issues, and they didn’t just pop up overnight.”


    “Why’d you even join Frotconn?”


    Caught off guard, Noelle’s cheeks tinged pink. “Would you think less of me if I said it was for


    personal reasons?”
