The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 857

Brian did not say anything more. Noelle got the message, though she was not quite ready to drop the topic. "Why? Can't you get over her?"

Her?

Brian gave Noelle a puzzled look, then responded, "How do you know about her?"

It was true? "I don't know her. I've just heard that you had a thing for someone once, but I don't know who. Mr. Parker, people have to move on, you know..."

"Ms. Shaw, my personal life isn't something I need to report to you on."

Noelle's face tensed for a moment, then she let out an awkward chuckle. "Sorry, I crossed a line."

For the rest of their time together, they mostly kept to themselves, speaking only about work. Afterward, they headed back to the office. Noelle stepped out of Brian's car, and he drove off to the garage while Noelle headed inside.

In the grand lobby of the Colossus Group skyscraper, Noelle found her way blocked by two stern-faced men in crisp suits. "Ms. Shaw?"

"That's me. And you are?"

"We've been sent by Sir Hoffman. He requests your presence," the man with the dark sunglasses stated firmly. "Please come with us."

"Sir Hoffman?" Noelle's brow furrowed in confusion, her gaze sweeping across the lobby before settling back on the duo. "You mean Charles' grandpa ?"

Only someone with serious clout like Sir Hoffman could waltz into the Colossus Group and whisk people away on a whim, especially with the weighty name 'Sir Hoffman' in tow.

"Mr. Parker, I'm so relieved to see you," Noelle said, rushing over to him with a stack of papers in hand. "These are the documents you needed, right? You mentioned they were super important."

"Yeah, they're important, but they're not ready yet. Didn't I ask you to finish them by this afternoon?" Brian replied, his eyes briefly flicking to the two men lingering behind Noelle, who seemed fixated on her.

Brian's gaze returned to Noelle, who quickly explained, "Mr. Hoffman is waiting on this paperwork, but I've got to run out for a bit. Could you please finish them up and pass them on to Mr. Hoffman?" She handed over the documents and gave Brian's hand a meaningful squeeze. "Make sure Mr. Hoffman gets them."

Brian narrowed his eyes reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'll make sure Mr. Hoffman gets the documents. If you're in a rush, go handle your business! Call me if you need anything."

"Thanks. I'm counting on you, Mr. Parker!" Noelle let out a relieved breath, then turned to address the impatient duo. "So, where is Sir Hoffman sending me? Lead the way, please!"
