The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 347

The light from outside streamed in, casting a glow around Charles, giving him an even more composed and steady presence.

Noelle was mesmerized as she watched him. She might have continued staring if the office door had not been knocked on again.

Charles looked up, meeting Noelle's admiring gaze and smiling slightly. He gestured toward the door. "Go open the door."

Noelle snapped out of her daze. "Is that a good idea?"

Besides Ronald, she did not know any of the Collosus staff, and anyone who could come to Charles' office was likely important. If they saw her in Charles' office, they might start speculating.

Charles dismissed her concerns. "There's nothing to worry about. Just open the door."

Noelle nodded, letting go of her worries. She walked over to open the door.

She saw a woman wearing glasses and dressed in a professional office outfit. "Hello!"

The woman was momentarily surprised to see Noelle but quickly regained her composure and nodded slightly. "I'm Mr. Hoffman's secretary, Becky."

Noelle stepped aside. "Please come in."

Becky smiled at Noelle again. "Mr. Hoffman, Cody from the Adams Corp is here!"

"Bring him in." Charles' cool voice came from behind Noelle.

Afterward, Becky left almost immediately.

Noelle turned to Charles. "Cody Adams? Annie's brother?" She bit her lip. "Should I leave?"

"Yes, sir." Becky left, and Charles invited Cody to sit down.

Cody tried to appear calm, but he was nervous inside. He did not know Noelle, but he guessed that any woman who could sit next to Charles and hold his hand was not ordinary.

Charles glanced at Cody. "This is my wife, Noelle."

Both Noelle and Cody showed surprised expressions. Noelle shot Charles a sharp look, but he remained calm, gently patting her hand to signal her not to be angry.

Cody was stunned for a moment, his mind racing. He had thought the woman was Charles' girlfriend or lover, which explained why Charles punished Annie. However, realizing Noelle was Charles' wife made everything even clearer.

"Hello, Mrs. Hoffman!"

"Hello, Mr. Adams!"
