Chapter 210 Fascinating

Carefully, Sadie bent down to retrieve the laptop drenched from the rain.

Its screen remained dark, the device feeling cold and heavy–a reflection of her heavy heart.

Nearby, the hibiscus flowers shone brilliantly, revived by the rain, their petals dotted with dew and their vivid hues. contrasting with the dull backdrop.

A spark of inspiration lit up Sadie’s eyes as she began to devise a plan.

At the same time, down the corridor, Kyla strode forward, her confident smile intact, her high heels echoing crisply against

the floor.

As she turned the corner, she caught sight of Noah.

He stood by the window, engaged in a phone call, his face set in a stern expression.

“… Carry out my instructions. Tomorrow morning, I expect the secretarial team at the branch office.”

His voice was commanding as he issued orders to Samuel on the line.

Kyla paused, taken aback.

Such a move usually suggested management problems at a branch office.

She hastened her steps, yet as she approached, Noah concluded his call.

“Noah…” Kyla’s voice was soft, her eyes wide with feigned naivety. “I don’t even know what I did wrong…”

As Noah faced Kyla, his gaze was piercing. “Eva has already taken care of the servant who delivered me the drink.”

Kyla’s expression twitched with the urge to defend herself, to assert that Sadie was the real schemer.

But before she could articulate her thoughts, Noah spoke again with a chilling tone. “Next time, there will be no mercy.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked off.

Kyla remained rooted in place, her fists clenched tight.

Why did Eva have to meddle so much? And Sadie was just as bad!

In the dining room.

Noah’s breakfast was a display of refined grace, each movement showcasing his natural poise.

Eva, resting her chin on her hand, watched him with an amused sparkle in her eyes and a cunning smile on her lips.

“You look quite lively today, Mr. Wall. Did you get some good rest last night?”

As Noah looked up, his deep eyes met hers. He replied softly, “Fairly well.”

Her laughter was gentle, yet her words carried a teasing undertone. “Only fairly well? The butler informed me you spent

all night in Miss Hudson’s room and only left this morning after getting the whole story about last night,” she teased, her

smile broadening for effect. “I heard you even tried not to wake Miss Hudson when you left. Looks like I’ve figured out the special someone for whom you were cooking last night.”

Noah’s grip on his knife and fork slackened briefly, and his expression grew somber, though he offered no reply.

Setting aside his cutlery, he gracefully took a napkin and dabbed at his lips.

“You seem to have quite a bit of spare time, Eva,” he said, his tone detached.

With a relaxed shrug. Eva responded, “What can I do? Life’s spectacles are too interesting to ignore, particularly yours.”

Noah then calmly took a sip of his coffee, showing no sign of irritation at Eva’s remarks.

At that moment, Kyla approached with a tablet in hand and positioned herself next to Eva.

“Ms. Shaw, I’ve received the initial designs from the branch’s design team,” Kyla said, her voice maintaining a professional

softness.

Eva examined the tablet briefly.

Displayed on the screen were several lavish and garish dress designs, each excessively flattering.

Beneath the images, sycophantic words praised Eva’s elegance and unmatched grace.

“It’s adequate,” Eva said blandly, handing the tablet back to Kyla.

She stole a quick look at Noah, noting his continued composure, which puzzled her.

Logically, after spending the entire night with Noah, Sadie should have been by his side by now.

Eva speculated silently. Could Noah have exhausted the poor girl last night? Yet, she maintained a poker face, casually addressing the servant nearby. “Why hasn’t Miss Hudson arrived yet?”

Eva’s abrupt inquiry about Sadie took Kyla by surprise, causing her to hesitate.

Her eyes briefly met Noah’s, but noting his lack of reaction, she cautiously said, “She might have lost track of the time.”

Eva simply arched an eyebrow, her suspicions deepening.

She mused that the previous night might have been more thrilling than she’d initially thought.

Leisurely, Eva took her wine glass, swirling the contents lightly while her gaze darted between Noah and Kyla, as though watching an intriguing drama unfold.

Soon, Sadie made her entrance into the dining hall.

Soaked from the rain, her hair stuck to her face, and her nearly see–through white shirt accentuated her slender figure.

Despite her appearance, Sadie maintained her poise, her demeanor calm and her presence radiantly defiant.

She carried no design drafts, only a hibiscus flower, its petals dotted with raindrops that sparkled like tiny pearls.

Eva momentarily paused at the sight of Sadie entering in such a state.

“Miss Hudson, what happened?” she asked, placing her wine glass down.
