Noah stayed in place, not saying anything.
Hannah watched his expression closely, raising an eyebrow as she said, âIf you canât handle this rigorous sevenâday probation, you can withdraw at any time and go back to where you belong.â Noah immediately stood up and walked toward her, taking the thick stack of documents.
âI wonât quit, Ms. Hannah. Donât worry.
If he could not finish translating them, he would just need to face the humiliating punishment.
However, not accepting would be equivalent to rejecting Hannahâs challenge, which might make it even harder for him to win her over.
Noah quickly brought the documents back to his desk and began translating diligently without taking any breaks.
Hannah watched his serious and stern demeanor, trying not to laugh.

Soon, they were back to focusing on work, and the atmosphere in the office was very
Two and a half hours later, at lunchtime, Hannah stood up and smoothed the skirt of her professional attire, looking at Noah.
âMr. Noah, itâs time for lunch. Are you coming?â
Noah had just finished translating nine sets of documents, and he answered without thinking, âIâm not hungry yet.â
Hannahâs face instantly darkened.
What a clueless guy.
She shook her head in resignation and walked toward the door.
Noah finally realized what was going on.

âMs. Hannah, Iâm new here and donât know my way around yet. Can I join you for lunch today?â
Hannah continued walking without stopping, casting a sidelong glance at him.
âAs a secretary, are you actually asking your boss to treat you to lunch on your first day at work? Mr. Noah, you have quite the nerve.â
Noah remained silent, his few remaining social intelligence cells battling it out in his mind, trying to
come up with the best response.

âWhat I meant was⦠Iâll join you for lunch, and Iâll pay, Ms. Hannah.â
Hannah gave him an amused look and nodded approvingly.
âThatâs an interesting response. Mr. Noah, youâre usually so aloof and reserved, yet youâre suddenly saying something so pleasing. Itâs a great progress, not bad.â
Noah smiled, a swirl of happiness bubbling in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard Hannah continue, âBut Mr. Noah, didnât you say you were broke, that youâre only staying with the Moore family because you lost your wallet and phone? How are you going to pay for. lunch? Do you think youâll get a free meal with your good looks? Or are you expecting your lost wallet to reappear magically?â
Noahâs face paled instantly.
Did he accidentally let something slip?
Did Hannah figure something out?
Sure enough, Hannahâs demeanor turned cold, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
âMr. Noah, you still have a lot to learn. If youâre going to play the victim, at least commit to it properly instead of looking like youâre putting on an act.â
Noah remained silent as Hannah withdrew her gaze and stepped into the elevator.
Inside the elevator, not a single word was exchanged between them, the atmosphere heavy with
tension.
Noah could not bear the setback after working so hard to improve their relationship.
He tried to explain, âThe night I stayed at the Moore mansion, I really didnât have my wallet or phone on me, and I got soaked in the rain all night. I wasnât lying to you.â
However, Hannah remained unmoved. âIt was my parents who agreed to let you stay, not me. Your explanations wonât change anything, and I wonât believe you.â
The elevator arrived at their floor, and Hannah stepped out first.
âHannahâ¦â Noah followed, attempting to salvage the situation with another explanation.
âCall me Ms. Hannah,â Hannah interrupted him without looking at him.
âAlright, Ms. Hannah. About thisâ¦â
âThis is the workplace. We donât discuss personal matters here. Mr. Noah, please be mindful.â
