Chapter 891

“Sure.”

With that, she followed Noah out of the dining hall. Tina acted quickly, picking up the invitation from the table before hurrying after the two.

In the blink of an eye, Ophelia was left alone, just standing there. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides as she gnashed her teeth and seethed. Sadie, that woman! Ophelia swore to herself that she would never let her off. Never!

Meanwhile, Sadie and Noah walked into the elevator one after the other. Sadie instinctively stepped to the side to put some distance between them. In such a confined space, his familiar scent stirred a sense of unease within her.

Noah, on the other hand, acted as if he wasn’t aware of what she was doing.

He drew closer to her, and closer still, until he was practically pressed against her, trapping her in the corner.

Sadie looked up and scowled at him, her gaze indignant and wary at the same time. “Do you need something, Mr. Noel?”

Noah took a moment to gaze at her. Most of his face was hidden under his silver mask, and only his deep eyes were visible. She could tell he was smiling by the way they crinkled at the corners.

“Aren’t you hungry? Where would you like to eat, Ms. Hudson?”

Sadie’s eyes narrowed. Hadn’t he said that he lost his wallet? Why was he asking her where she wanted to eat now? What on earth was this man up to?

Noah bristled under her sharp gaze. Then he realized why she was practically glaring at him, and he chuckled softly.

“I’ll take you there, but you’ll pay the bill. We both make some contributions. Isn’t it a good idea?”

g0ν., ? ? ?

Sadie was rendered speechless by his utter lack of shame. This time, she glared at him outright.

“I don’t feel like eating anymore. If you’re hungry, Mr. Noel, feel free to enjoy your breakfast alone.”

Thankfully, the elevator doors opened just as she finished speaking. Sadie walked out without wasting another second.

Noah’s expression clouded as he watched her go. Then Jack appeared out of nowhere, walking up to him as he emerged from the elevator.noveldrama

“Were you rejected again, Mr. Noel?” Jack asked.

Noah shot him a menacing glare, causing Jack to shrink back. He pressed his lips into a thin line, not daring to utter another word.

Noah tugged at his tie, his irritation evident. He thought about the situation for a while and decided that he couldn’t give up easily.

“Call Nathan. Tell him to invite Sadie out to dinner tonight.”

Jack paused, momentarily surprised by his boss’s order. Then understanding dawned on him.
