"So... Mr. Hughes, why did the boss suddenly postpone the trip?" Everyone looked at Flynn Hughes with puzzled expressions, unsure of the connection between his earlier questions and the trip delay.
Seeing the group’s confused looks, Flynn Hughes put on a mysterious expression.
"His woman ca!"
If soone else delayed work for such a reason, the staff would likely have complaints.
But if it involved Noah Drexler, no one would dare make a peep.
As expected, once Flynn Hughes said those words, everyone looked shocked.
"Ahem... actually, I think it’s no big deal to go a day later. I can finish up the remaining tasks and then head to Rovena with ease." The middle-aged man who had questioned Noah Drexler’s behavior earlier nodded, expressing his understanding with relief.
"Mr. Zhao is right, there’s really nothing wrong with going a day later." Soone imdiately echoed.
Everyone expressed that they completely understood the situation.
After all, the boss had been focused on work for years, causing concern for his personal life. Many even doubted if he was like ordinary people. Now that he finally has a normal personal life, they naturally should understand.
Hearing everyone express understanding, Flynn Hughes couldn’t help but smile. This probably only has such an effect when it involves Noah Drexler.
If it were him delayed by a woman today, these so-called executives would definitely complain about him behind his back.
...
On the way back to The Hillside Villa.
Inside the car.
Sumr Shawcross and Noah Drexler sat in the back seat. It was only after the car started moving that she let go of his hand.
Noah Drexler leaned back in his seat, sending ssages to his assistant on his phone.
Sumr Shawcross sat beside him, turning her head to look at the man’s handso, cold profile, and sighed.
She suddenly recalled the ti on the yacht when she warned Wendy Linden.
If soone as simple-minded as Wendy didn’t believe her back then, how could soone as deeply-minded as Noah Drexler?
Perhaps he didn’t take her words seriously at all.
Thinking of this, Sumr Shawcross’s face turned a few shades paler.
At this mont, the first thing Noah Drexler did after finishing his ssage was turn to look beside him.
Upon seeing her face, he furrowed his brows and asked her with concern.
"Not feeling well?"
Did today’s events frighten her?
Noah Drexler’s voice brought Sumr Shawcross back to her senses.
"No..." She shook her head, though she was pondering how to make Noah Drexler abandon the Rovena project.
Because that project, no matter for him or for his group, was not a good thing.
Hearing this, Noah Drexler’s eyes darkened, and his handso face showed a hint of coldness.
"I’ll assign more people to protect you and make sure no one can take advantage again." He pressed his lips together, speaking to her in a low voice.
This ti, it was his carelessness, underestimating the capability of that Hughes!
After hearing his words, Sumr Shawcross paused and then lifted her head to look at him.
"But I still feel more secure with you by my side."
As her words fell, the man stiffened a bit.
She said... it was only with him by her side that she felt secure.
He lowered his eyes, deeply gazing at her face, slightly paler than usual from recent fright, his handso face softening with emotion.
