Chapter 132
The Cherished Wife by Chweety
Wife 132 Chapter 132 Winterâs face stiffened, utterly surprised by Charlesâ response. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Shaw family and somewhat famous in the entertainment industry. She assumed anyone would grant her a bit of favor.
She never expected Charles to outright say he did not know her, making it difficult for her to maintain her composure.
Winter took a deep breath. After all, she was a lady of a prominent family and still managed. to control her emotions. She smiled.
âMr. Hoffman, you must be very busy. There were too many people that day, so itâs understandable you donât remember.
âLet me introduce myself. Iâm Winter Shaw, the daughter of City Ring Corpâs Shaw family and Xavier Harrisâ fiancée.â
She thought Charles would surely recognize Xavierâs name.
Charles squinted his eyes and said, âI remember the Shaw family, but whoâs Xavier?â He curled his lips. âMs. Shaw, are you here to buy shoes?â
Winterâs expression looked even more strained when she heard Charles say he did not know, Xavier, but she forced a smile when he continued the conversation. âYes, Iâm out shopping with some friends! Mr. Hoffman, are you shopping too?â
Charles squinted his eyes and turned to Noelle. âMs. Shaw, are you here to buy shoes?â
Noelle was slightly stunned as she pointed at herself. âMr. Hoffman, are you asking me?â
Charles smiled. âWho else?â
Noelleâs mouth twitched slightly as she saw the changing expressions on Winterâs face, which truly looked awful. Thinking Charles might be helping her, she nodded. âYes. Iâm getting a pair of flats.â She smiled, deciding not to let Winter affect her mood.
She turned to the sales assistant and said, âCould you please get me those flats in size seven?â
Noelle was still smiling. Meanwhile, the sales attendant was not oblivious to the situation and quickly went to get the shoes. From Charles demeanor and conversation, the sales -attendant guessed he was someone important. Hearing the women call him âMr.
Hoffmanâ, she quickly realized who he was.
She also noticed Noelle had come in with Charles, making it clear she could not afford to offend either of them.
Certainly, miss. Please wait a moment!â the sales assistant said and promptly went to find the shoes.
+15 BONUS Noelle nodded slightly and turned to Charles. âMr. Hoffman, are you shopping too?â
Charlesâ eyes brightened, showing a subtle smile that he quickly hid. He nodded slightly. âI didnât expect you to still remember me, Ms. Noelle.â
âHow could I forget you, Mr. Hoffman?â Noelle smiled. âMy grandfather loved the chess set you gave him. I wanted to get one myself, but the price was quite shocking!â Noelle said sincerely.
She was not just saying this as a polite statement. The chess set cost several million, and she was amazed Charles gave it to her grandfather without a second thought.
Charles squinted. âIâm glad Sir Shaw liked it.â
He added, âThe pen you gave me last time was also excellent, Ms. Shaw. You have a good eye!â
Noelle raised an eyebrow, unsure whether to laugh or not. Although Charles seemed to be complimenting her, he was actually praising himself.
He was the one who chose the calligraphy pen, and honestly, she did not know much about these things.
