Charles’s fingers hit the decline button, but Xavier kept calling back. Charles’s eyes swirled with an

icy anger. He just let the phone keep

ringing, holding it tightly.

Noelle came out of the shower and saw Charles with her phone. “What’s up?”

Charles just lifted an eyebrow and handed her the phone. Noelle saw who it was, frowned, and

declined without a second thought. She looked at Charles and started to say something, but the

phone interrupted her, ringing again. Noelle’s frown got deeper as she declined again. Before she

could get a word out, Charles asked, “Didn’t you think to grab a towel for your hair?“.

Noelle paused, watching Charles’s tall silhouette head inside the bathroom. She bit her lip as he

came back with a towel, signaling her to

sit down.

Noelle hesitated. “Um…”

“Come over here!” Charles called out, not even glancing at the buzzing phone that displayed

Xavier’s incoming call. Noelle felt a bit unsure about what Charles was thinking, but she walked over

and sat down quietly.

Charles’s long fingers gently combed through her hair, soothing her. Noelle’s heart raced. She was

not sure why she felt so nervous.

It would be easier if Charles would just say something.

The silence between them felt heavy. Noelle bit her lip, about to speak, when the phone rang again.

It was Xavier. Annoyed, she hit the reject button and then blocked his number. Finally, peace!

“Won’t you say something?” she asked.

Noelle paused, then realized he did not have a reason, Charles was not the type to see Xavier as a

threat. Not at all

Noelle let out a sigh. “I have no idea why he’s calling me!”

However, Charles just gave her a knowing look, his piercing eyes hinting at something unsaid. “If

you’re confused, then let it be. You’ve blocked him now, so he won’t be able to bother you

anymore.”

“Mm–hmm!” Noelle nodded, looking up into Charles’s eyes with a smile. You’re always so composed

and collected. It’s not a bad thing, but I think you could show a little more emotion. I sometimes

wonder, what would it take to get a reaction out of you? To make you really upset?”

Charles arched an eyebrow and ran his long fingers gently through her hair, massaging her scalp.

Noelle could not help but smile at the pleasant feeling. “You’re pretty good at this. You’d make a

killing with your own massage shop!*

She gazed into his twinkling eyes, full of laughter and shining brightly.

Charles paused, his fingers still in her hair. “You think I should start a massage shop? To give

massages to other people?”
