The Cherished Wife
Chapter 236
Noelle hesitated for a moment. When she glanced at Ronald, she noticed that he seemed to be
startled
as well.
Unable to hold back her laughter, she smiled and nodded seriously. âYes, youâre very handsome!â
Charles felt a warmth in his heart seeing Noelleâs reaction. He took her hand and placed it on his
knee. He then began to gently play with her fingers. âIâm taking you to Royal Star Entertainment for
a visit.â
Noelle was surprised. âWhy are we going to Royal Star Entertainment?â she asked. Then, she
realized something. âIs Winter going to audition today?â
Charles nodded. âSince you have nothing else to do, I thought you could come and see for yourself.
Letâs see how good your sisterâs acting really is.â
Noelle knew Charlesâ words were not meant as a compliment. She smiled slightly. âWell, I have
nothing better to do.â
Although Noelle knew Winter was an actress, she rarely watched the shows Winter acted in. The
only time she had seen Winterâs acting was when she brought drama into their real lives.
Noelle thought for a moment and then shared some of her thoughts about todayâs events with
Charles. âI suspect they want me to resign voluntarily.â
âDoes that make you feel disappointed?â Charles asked.
Noelle looked up at Charles and then down at her hand that was resting on his knee.
He was still idly playing with her fingers. She wondered why he found her fingers so interesting.
Were they slender? Flexible?
âWell?â Charles prompted, seeing she had not answered. He gently nudged her fingers against his
knee.
Noelle came back to herself and smiled. âNot really. I just think itâs a bit redundant. I was planning to
resign anyway, so this might be for the best. Iâll resign tomorrow! But it might ruin my reputation.â
âReputation?â Charles scoffed. âDo you care about something that insignificant?â
Noelle raised an eyebrow. âDonât you?â
âAs long as youâre capable, there will always be people willing to hire you,â Charles replied as he
rubbed her palm. His long, wellâdefined fingers traced patterns on her palm, making her a little
ticklish.
When she tried to pull her hand away, Charles held it firmly. His gaze deepened as he said, âCome
work at Collosus.â
Noelle was stunned, thinking she had misheard. âWhat did you say?â
âCome work at Collosus,â Charles repeated earnestly, looking directly at her. Seeing her surprised
expression, he smiled and brushed her cheek with his finger. âI know how capable you are. Come
join us at Collosus.
Blushing, she moved his hand away and said, âThat doesnât seem right.â After speaking, she
glanced at Ronald.
Charles noticed and asked, âWhy are you looking at him?â

Ronald immediately straightened up, focusing on driving and pretending not to hear their
conversation.
Noelle sensed Charlesâ displeasure and muttered, âI just do want to get in through connections.â
