Noella's POVI just got home. My legs were still sore, but I managed to endure it. Right now, I still couldn't believe Mr. Enrick's attitude and gestures. He doesn't seem like himself with that kind and considerate attitude. Today, he surprised me a lot with his different treatments.The more I thought about it, the more I was convinced that Mr. Enrick must have done it to bind me tighter. Clearly, this was payback for what he had done to Uncle Martin. I should know myself with the current position."Mr. Enrick is indeed kind to me. It's just that... not every time he shows that kindness directly. Mr. Enrick did more kindness with various gestures. It was strange at first, but at this point, I'm so sure that he has a side other than his cold and stiff aura." I grumbled about Mr. Enrick and thought about what he had done so far besides helping me with Uncle Martin's problem.I guess there's no harm in following Mr. Enrick's wishes. He told me to be more confident. Of course, any woman
Enrick's POVNoella looked confused by my actions. She tried to avert her eyes several times. My mind, filled with many questions and suspicions, could no longer hold back for answers. I pressed Noella a little so that she could tell me what had been going on with her and Darren."Tell me the truth, Noella." I forced her to speak again, but she was reluctant to look at me, who already felt impatient for an explanation.It's so unsettling when the questions in my head haven't been answered. My head throbbed, and this sense of unease made my skin itch like crazy. "I'll tell you, but... can we move to the living room? Not in this position." Realizing what Noella had said, I noticed that her face was turning red.I quickly let go of her, and we headed to the living room. "I wouldn't have behaved like this if you had spoken up in the first place." I sat on the chair and waited for the explanation she promised. I rubbed the back of my neck and felt that Noella had many flaws. But, before si
Enrick's POVI had previously contacted the driver to meet me at Mr. Martin's house. When I left the house, my driver was already standing by the car and opened the door for me. "Alright, then I'm off." After saying goodbye, I entered the car and sat in the back seat as usual.Through the glass, I could see my driver starting from there. He, looking curious, asked me, "Is sir alright?" I just nodded in response. Then, he stopped asking questions and drove the car.During the ride, my mind was filled with Noella's pitiful facial expression. It was an uncomfortable sight for me to see. Especially when this moment popped into my head, I could feel how stupid he was when he was with Darren."There's nothing good about Darren. Then, where did the women see her from? If it's Noella, she's such an innocent woman that she can be easily fooled." I mumbled the whole way about Noella and Darren's relationship that I had heard about. I really can't imagine it with a cool head.It makes me remembe
Noella's POVI shook my head slowly at Mr. Enrick's strange behavior. Now, he was fast asleep on the sofa, looking relaxed and carefree. It wasn't enough this morning that he surprised me with his arrival. He even ate breakfast with us.I never thought this seemingly perfect man could do unexpected things like this morning. This weekend, I wanted to rest, but instead, he came without even telling me, even with his messed up condition from not being able to sleep all night.All this time, Mr. Enrick has always eaten luxurious food. Then, today, he could eat the food that I cooked, which was such a surprise. He looked very comfortable, even though some sentences insulted my homemade food. But he finished the meal, what a strange man."After eating. Now, he was asleep on the sofa. His face looks tired. He did say he couldn't sleep last night. Hah... now I feel guilty for giving him that instant coffee. I didn't know if he would be awake and instead came here to hold me responsible." Whil
Noella's POVAfter the weekend ends, the work always piles up. Today, tons of new files and projects need to be checked. In my division, after receiving the files and proposals for a project, the tasks are immediately divided. I just got some work, and everything had to be done immediately."Gosh... why does every weekend end like this? I just breathed fresh air, but now I must deal with so much work." I groaned at my desk, my eyes staring at the computer now displaying several proposal files.Since my arrival this morning at the office, the atmosphere around me has been very different, making me feel like many eyes are always watching. My relationship with Mr. Enrick has them all giving me the stink eye as if I'm just another annoying pest in this office.I tried to ignore them, but it wasn't just in the lobby area that I felt like that. The main room I work in has also become strange; those who usually group to discuss projects now rarely include me. As if on purpose, they chose to
Noella's POV"Hah... my work is finally done, too. I was able to eat lunch sooner than I thought." After finishing work in the morning, I could finish early during the break. My eyes wandered around the entrance of the division as if searching for someone's whereabouts.I asked myself, "Is it possible that she's still busy?" I shook my head and was surprised when Mina grabbed me from behind."You must be waiting for Mr. Enrick, right? I heard from the few employees who went in there to deposit files that Mr. Enrick was very busy. His secretary kept staying by his side to control everything." Mina's explanation made perfect sense, so it was indeed work reasons that kept her out of sight at the door of the division. This time, I was able to spend time with Mina."Then, you should accompany me to have lunch together. Why don't we go to the cafeteria? I haven't eaten there with you in a long time." I got up from my place and took Mina to have lunch at the cafeteria.Mina naturally happily
Noella's POVSeeing who was pulling my hand made my blood flow like boiling water. I was so upset over what she had done in the past. I wish I had the superpower to teleport him out of this world and send him to another planet.He was Darren, the man who didn't know himself and kept interfering with my life. It's annoying to meet him, especially in this way. I was sure that this time, he would definitely make a scene with me, just like before.Darren's presence made me miss the bus. I had to wait for the next hour, which was quite time-consuming. I was just worried my uncle would get nervous because I didn't get home. If only Darren hadn't shown up, I would've been on my way home and met up with uncle immediately."What do you want? Why are you still showing up and bothering me, Darren?" Shaking off Darren's hand, I asked him what he was there for."Now you can act. I can't believe you've changed so much, Noella." Darren smirked at the sight of me, now rejecting his presence. After al
Noella's POV"What an asshole. You're crazy, Darren. How could you tell me to do that? What's really going on in your head? You've only had bad things in your head all this time." I couldn't stand every word that came out of Darren's mouth. It's like he didn't have a good education all this time.In my heart, I kept swearing and cursing at what he said. He has no brakes to stop his bad wishes for his uncle. The treasure had blinded him, and he still wanted even more by paying me as a spy."You should be self-aware, Noella. Look at you. It's so shameful and pathetic. You can't fall in love so quickly. You've only just gotten to know each other. While you were just begging me a while ago for your uncle." Again, Darren didn't realize his mistake. He was happy to see me fall so he could use me as he pleased.I was so fed up that I couldn't continue being here anymore. I wondered when the last bus would arrive so I could get out of his way. I was annoyed at Darren for trampling my pride in
