Chapter 265 Chapter 265 Mr.
Sawyer , todays 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 .
Im 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 .
Its still early Would you honor me with a drink ? Nicolas maintained his polite smile as he replied , Thats kind of you , Miss Haney , but I have other plans this evening .
Oh ? I see Angeline didnt press further .
She just shrugged lightly and smiled .
Then lets plan for another time .
Of course .
Next time , dinners on me , Nicolas said with practiced case .
Angeline gave him a playful wink .
Ill hold you to that Nicolas nodded .
Take care , Miss Haney .
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 .
Shes jealous , Nicolas thought , and couldnt help the amused smile tugging at his lips .
He walked over to her , took off his scarf , and gently wrapped it around her neck .
Shes 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 acuse me ? Noelles voice rose .
But before she could launch into a tirade , Nicolas bent down , pulled her into his arms , and said with a teasing smile , Im happy because it means you ve got great taste .
If other women find me attractive , doesnt that just prove you picked well ! Or would you rather your Noelle blinked Nicolas kind of made sense continued softly , And even if she did have feelings for me , so what ? I only have eyes for you .
Isnt 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 , Im not mad anymore Seeing his girl appeased , Nicolas smiled and took her freezing hands , slipping them into his coat pockets .
How long w you standing outside ? he asked .
Why didnt you just come in ? I wanted to surprise you .
Noelle admitted , lips pouting again .
224 PM c Chapter 265 Next time , dont freeze yourself for a surprise .
Understood ? Yes , sir .
Noelle nodded obediently .
Just then , the car arrived .
Nicolas opened the door and gestured .
Lets 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 .
She brushed over the details , deliberately skipping everything that had to do with Brandon .
la brow .
Thats it ? Nicolas arched a Noelle glanced at him and tried to sound nonchalant .
What else would it be ? Nicolas chuckled inwardly .
Shes so bad at lying .
I dont even need to investigate to know she was with Brandon again .
But since she didnt want to talk about it , he didnt press .
Instead , he pulled her into his arms , gently kneading her hand .
Dont push yourself too hard .
Your Nicolas might not be strong enough yet but I hope youll 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 wasnt fair .
Just as she hesitated , wondering if she should tell him about Brandon , Nicolass phone buzzed . He glanced at it , and his expression instantly turned cold .
as a text : [ Bastard .
Lets see how it feels to lose what matters most to you .
] Nicolass eyes darkened .
Whats wrong ! Noelle leaned in curiously .
He gave a low chuckle , full of contempt .
The Sawyer family .
Ive been hitting them too hard with the acquisitions lately , looks like theyre starting to snap .
You didnt notice anything strange today , did you ? No Noelle shook her head .
I dont think so .
In truth , shed been so tense around Brandon all day and then so so eager to see Nicolas that she hadnt been paying attention to her surroundings at all .
Nirolas stone cooled .
Ill find a reason to freeze their remaining assets .
Lets see how they hire assassins without funding You can do that ? Noelle blinked in surprise Of course Nicolas grinned .
She ulted her heart But if they dont have money anymore , how will they live ? He laughed What , youre feeling sorry for them ?
Nope she replied firmly , eyes wide and serious If they all drop dead , theyd deserve it Sawyer fartily had gathered around .
iting expectantly for news from the assassin t they hurd to take Noelle out When Marshalls phone rang , he immediately announced .
Its them i Well is a done ? Braiden asked eagerly 2:24 PM c d · Clapter 265 Of course .
I hired the best .
Marshall said smugly as he answered .
Hello ? Did you take care of it ? But instead of confirmation , an angry voice roared through the speaker .
You bastards didnt tell us the full story ! I swear , youll pay for What ?! The whole Sawyer family jolted .
The hitman on the other end continued furiously , That girl had a monster guarding her .
All my all of them are deadt E
