Wife 105


    Charles cracked a chilly smile. “Robert, you know what I’m like.” He set his water ss down, stood


    up tall, and looked down at Robert. “I don’t want to be too harsh, but I expect to see your


    resignation letter by tomorrow morning. Don’t worry. You won’t lose any Collosus Group shares, and


    you’ll still get your yearly share of the profits.” That was as nice as he could spare to be.


    Robert was now fuming, puffing out his cheeks and ring. He stood up so fast that his chair


    almost toppled over. “Charles, who do you think you are? Do you think I’m scared of you? This


    company isn’t yours to boss around. Your dad still shows me some respect, but you’re totally out of


    line.”


    The more Robert thought about it, the angrier he got. He had been putting his heart and soul into


    Collosus Group for years. Charles was a new yer in this industry, but he was acting like a big


    shot already.“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting. Your fancy Hoffman family has always


    looked down on us, right? Well, if you start something, I’ll finish it. Just you wait!”


    “I guess we’ll have to wait and see, Robert!”


    Charles’s gaze turned icy. If Robert rejected his kind offer, he would not get any more mercy. “If I


    don’t hear the good news from you tomorrow, Robert, you’ll have to wait for the surprise I’ve


    prepared for you.”


    Charles tossed the document bag aside. “You think this is all I’ve got?”


    “What are you getting at?” Robert’s face went through a series of different expressions. “Charles,


    what are you trying to pull? I’m warning you! Even if I submit my resignation, the board won’t ept


    it!”


    “I gave you your chance.” With a flick of his wrist, Charles walked off, leaving no room for Robert to


    change his mind.


    Noelle was in the middle of a discussion with Ava when her phone rang. She recognized the


    number immediately, paused, and gestured to Ava that they needed to take a break. “Hello, hello!”


    “Hello, hello yourself, Noelle. Get over here and pick me up!”


    Rowena’s cheerful voice came through the phone. Noelle narrowed her eyes before perking up.


    “Pick you up? You’re back?”


    “Yes, I’m back. Enough small talk! Come and get me already!”


    “Where are you?” Noelle felt a surge of joy. She had not seen Rowena in years and was so happy


    to finally hear her voice again.


    She had almost believed they would never meet again after Rowena left. “Why did youe


    back?”


    “Let’s not get into that now. My car broke down on Cultural Street, so I need your help!”


    “Alright, I’m on my way!”


    Noelle ended the call. “Ava, I need to run an errand, so let’s wrap up for today. If anyone asks for


    me, just say I’ve stepped out.”


    Noelle zipped up her purse and was about to leave when something popped into her head. She


    spun around and said, “Oh, just hand the files for that project we talked about to Director Harris. Tell


    him I’m


    out on a site visit.”

    “Okay.” Ava nodded. “But what if the boss shows up?”


    “Forget about him.” Noelle frowned. “And don’t you dare tell him where I’ve gone!”


    With that, Noelle dashed downstairs and hopped into the sleek Ferrari Charles had arranged for


    her. She zoomed off toward Cultural Street.


    The address Rowena had given was a bit out of the way. Noelle had to twist and turn down a few


    strange paths before she finally spotted Rowena, who had an ice cream stick dangling from her lips.


    She was waving, her hand folded around two boxes of ice cream. “This way!” she called out.
