CHAPTER 18: CHAPTER 18: A CHILLING SMIRK

"If I could stop it, I wouldn’t be calling you... I’m just giving you a heads up." Butler Wang sighed.

Hearing this, Sean Morgan showed a bit of helplessness, coughed lightly, then looked at Noah Drexler and replied.

"I understand."

The call had just ended when the phone in Noah Drexler’s pants pocket suddenly vibrated.

He reached for his phone, and when he saw the caller ID, his expression paused.

This name had been in his phone for two years, but it had never appeared on his screen.

"Hello!" The next second, he accepted the call and brought it to his ear.

"Noah Drexler, it’s me..." a cautious voice came from the phone.

"I made chicken soup. Can I bring it to you later?"

After she finished speaking, Noah Drexler didn’t immediately respond, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

"I promise, I’ll just bring you a bowl of chicken soup, I won’t disturb your work. Please let me come..." Seeing he didn’t respond, Summer Shawcross quickly spoke again, quietly begging.

Listening to the woman’s soft voice on the other end, Noah Drexler felt as if light rain was falling on his heart.

His mood, originally disturbed by work, was magically soothed by the rain she brought, even bringing a trace of sweetness...

"So, how about it, is it okay?" Summer’s pleading voice came through the phone again.

The man swallowed, and in the next second, a "yes" slipped from his throat.

"Okay."

"Boss..." Hearing Noah Drexler agree, Sean Morgan, standing to the side, became tense.

Although he couldn’t hear the voice on the phone, judging from the boss’s expression and the previous call from Butler Wang, he could deduce the identity of the caller and the content of the conversation...

Because of this, Sean Morgan was extremely curious, wondering what kind of spell the lady on the other end had cast on the boss, who was known for his difficult temper, to agree to her request so easily.

...

"Great, thank you! I’ll have the driver take me there right away!" Summer’s happy voice came from the phone, which was then hung up.

Hearing the girl’s joyful voice, Noah Drexler’s mood inexplicably brightened a bit...

...

——Knock knock!

...

At that moment, the door to the office was suddenly knocked.

"Come in!" Noah Drexler put down his phone, and his handsome face immediately turned cold.

The door opened, and several staff members in formal attire slowly walked in.

They stood in front of the desk for a moment, exchanged glances, and finally one man with glasses nervously spoke up.

"Boss, in the bidding of the commercial plaza in Stellaria this time..." As he spoke, the man nervously glanced up at Noah Drexler.

Sure enough... that handsome face was now full of displeasure.

"It was snatched?!" Noah Drexler asked with a frown, his expression serious.

The group was collectively startled; Noah Drexler’s gaze was so sharp it made people’s hearts tremble.

After a few seconds, they all lowered their heads, weakly replying.

"Yes..."

Hearing their response, Noah Drexler’s cold face revealed a chilling smile.

"Very good!"
