The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 596

"What's wrong?" Charles looked up. "Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious, just that people downstairs have been talking about it. Everyone says the company doesn't seem to care much about the year-end party this year.

"Besides Becky, Janet hasn't done much at all." Noelle didn't have any major issues with Janet, but she felt that since Janet was now an employee at Collosus Group, she should complete the tasks assigned to her.

Noelle might have overestimated Janet; she seemed too accustomed to her privileged life to handle these tasks. "It just seems like Becky's been really exhausted lately. She's doing all this heavy work by herself."

"So, what are you suggesting, Nelly?" Charles chuckled. "Becky is my secretary. I know her capabilities, so don't worry about it. As for Janet, I'll find a time to let her go, but not just yet. It's the end of the year, after all, and we should still leave the Bakers with a bit of dignity."

"Don't misunderstand me; whether you send her away or not doesn't matter. She won't affect our relationship." Noelle did not want to pressure Charles into making any decisions. "Just do what you feel is right."

"Alright." Charles smiled. "Nelly, you're always so considerate of me."

"Of course." Noelle grinned. "I really have to go now. After work, I'll wait for you in your underground parking lot. You'll be off on time today, right? Aunt Nancy said she wants to eat chili lime fish tonight, so we'll need to buy fresh fish after work."

"Uncle Henry didn't go to buy it?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Uncle Henry sure knows how to delegate tasks."

She had asked Becky, who assured her that Noelle posed no threat, but Janet could not shake the feeling that Noelle had ulterior motives. Why else would she keep showing up in Charles' office?

"Ms. Baker?"

Becky noticed Janet standing still, staring off into space. She followed Janet's gaze but saw nothing out of the ordinary. "Ms. Baker, what are you doing standing here? We need to go downstairs. There are still many small details we need to fix for the year-end party setup."

"Becky, what do you think is really going on between that Noelle and Charles? Why does she keep coming to his office?"
