Chapter 105

Wife 105 Chapter 105 Charles cracked a chilly smile. “Robert, you know what I’m like.” He set his water glass 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 glaring. 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 player 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 accept 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 you come 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.”

“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.
