During this time, Noah diligently studied the advice on relationships, almost mastering its contents.
Hannah could keenly sense his change, noticing he had become more flirtatious.
She blinked, meeting his gaze, and asked, âWhat's the difference?â
âOf course thereâs a difference,â Noah replied, his smile deepening as he recalled lines from the internet.â If itâs my superior asking, then my plans after work are personal matters, and | have nothing to disclose. But if itâs my fiancee asking, then | should be honest.â
âYou're getting more and more cheeky lately. Where did you learn these tricks? Youâre becoming quite the rogue,â Hannah mocked, though her face betrayed no sign of disapproval.
Ignoring her comment, Noah pressed on.
âSo, is it my superior asking or my fiancee asking?â
She replied solemnly, âWe're in the office right now, and until youâre given permission to leave early, you're still my assistant, so it's a superiorâsubordinate relationship. But when the superior asks a question, honesty is the best policy, donât you think?â
Ahint of disappointment flashed across Noah's face.
He straightened up and replied earnestly, âI disagree. My private life after work isnât something | should have to disclose to my superior.â
Hannah was left speechless as she watched Noah turn and head toward the CEO's office door.
âStop. Right. There.â
Noah halted but did not turn around.
Though they were engaged, Hannah had never affectionately called him by a pet name privately, always referring to him as Mr. Noah, and their dates felt somewhat distant.
âEven if itâs your private matter, youâre requesting to leave early. You should still inform yours where youâre headed.â
Noah replied, âIâm going on a date with a woman.â
With a woman?
He did not say it was with her, so who was he planning to meet?
Hannah felt a strange pang of discomfort, and she asked annoyedly, âWho?â
Noah remained silent, reverting to his previous cold demeanor.
superior âMs. Hannah, since you're curious about my whereabouts, you should say what Iâm expecting to hear.â
Feeling a bit conflicted, Hannah relented. âOkay, as your fiancee, Iâm asking where you're headed, and Chapter 1054 which lovely lady are you meeting?â
Noah grinned satisfactorily and turned back to her, leaning over her chair once more.
âNot just any lovely lady, but my fiancee. Todayâs your birthday. Did you forget?â
Hannah was stunned.
She was not one for celebrating birthdays and had almost forgotten hers.
âHow did you know itâs my birthday? Did my mom tell you?â
Noah admitted, âAuntie Vanessa really likes me and has been trying to set us up. Plus, you remembered my birthday and phone number when you were pursuing me. Itâs my turn to remember yours now.â
Once again, Hannah felt a flutter in her heart.
She could not deny that Noah, with his increasingly charming ways and cold yet handsome face, was utterly irresistible.
Before she could respond, Noah took the initiative to shut down her computer.
