Chapter 261 - Back To Square One (1/2)

At Yu Building.

That morning, Craig looked at Noah suspiciously as he drank his coffee with him..

”Stop looking at me like this…” Noah grunted with flaring nostrils. Craig shook his head and commented, ”So Luo is your type of woman? I'm surprised you spent that much for a woman…”

Noah's face could not be painted as he hissed, ”Why are you here, anyway? Don't you need to be somewhere with Gale?”

”She's still at Mike's office and their discussion is serious, so I thought to see you while I was waiting for her to finish… So tell me? What's the real deal between you and Luo? I thought I'm your only friend…” Craig mumbled. He was dying with curiosity, but he knew that the more he asked the more Noah would zip his mouth.

”Stop prying Craig.” Noah scoffed. He was obviously not in a good mood.

Noah heaved a sigh of relief when Craig stopped bugging him and finally left his office. He still could not believe how he ended up in Luo���s trap. Something in her was pulling his great interest, and he hated that feeling because he was getting distracted most of his time, not to mention how he lost that millions in vain.

When he woke up this morning, Luo was already gone, leaving just a note behind to call her anytime he wanted her to SLEEP with him.

”What a clever woman!” he beamed wryly. The woman double crossed him and he was stupid enough to let it happen. He himself wondered why as well.

He was in that thought when his intercom buzzed, and Dina informed him of an unexpected visitor.

”Sir?” he heard Dina waiting on the intercom.

”You can let her in, Dina…” Noah answered.

Noah then looked at the woman he despised the most, entered his office for the first time. As usual, she had that smile ready for him even though he looked so pissed off.

”I brought you some things and I hope you like it.” she said pertaining to the paper bags she held. Noah only signaled her to sit.

”Is that all? You could just let any helper bring it over or I will appreciate it more if you won't actually bother to visit and bring anything at all.” he said.

Marlyn was already used to how Noah was harsh with her. Nothing was new, so she already expected cold treatment like the usual.

She still managed to give Noah a genuine smile as she grabbed an invitation card and put it on the table in front of him.

”My birthday is coming and I hope you can come to the party along with Brione, Noah,” Marlyn said with a timid smile. Noah scoffed, wondering how long would the woman try to act like someone who was good and kind when he was well aware of how dark and rotten her insides were. She might look kind and very elegant from outside, but her inside was definitely rotten.

And from where did she even get the confidence to barge into his office like that and give him the freaking invitation?! But then an idea suddenly came to him so he muttered, ”I will bring friends over…”

Marlyn's face brightened as she beamed. ”Sure, son… You can bring them all.” She took it positively and was glad as she stood up and added, ”I will leave you now and will not take too much of your time.”
