StarNovelChapter 159 Chapter 159 "No, he's not skind of wild man," Noelle said without thinking. After catching a glimpse of Xavier's face, she took a deep breath. "Xavier, this is the last tI'm going to say this-stop doing things that grossout." She reached out and peeled Xavier's fingers away one by one. "We really should keep our distance at work!" "Noelle!" Xavier watched Noelle walk away. Feeling frustrated, he punched the elevator door, startling the nearby employees. "Mr. Harris!" "What are you doing here?" Joseph's voice cfrom behind Xavier, making him panic. "Dad!" Joseph gave Xavier a fierce look. "How many times do I have to tell you to behave at the company? You're engaged to Winter, so leave Noelle alone!" Joseph was so disappointed with his son, wishing he could just shape up. "You need to know what you really want!" Xavier scowled. "But Dad, Noelle and I really love each other." He did not want to be with Winter. He just wanted her shares and the company. Even though he was attracted to Winter, he did not love her.
"Love? There's nothing in this world that can't be bought with money. Wait until you get your hands on the shares and then you'll see that I'm right," Joseph said with a hard stare at Xavier. "Just look at yourself. I'm warning you, if I catch you mixed up with Noelle again, you'll be sorry." Xavier mumbled, "I got it." "This is a crucial tfor the company. There's strouble at Collosus Group. Go find out what's happening." "Yes!" After Noelle got away from Xavier in the elevator, she was feeling all kinds of uncomfortable. When she saw Jade's non her ringing phone, her mood went from bad to worse.
She watched the phone light up and go dark over and over until finally, with a sigh, she picked up. Jade's voice cthrough sharp and clear, "What's with you? Why haven't you been answering?" Jade sounded really upset. Noelle knew all too well how Jade felt about her, but it still hurt. She just could not figure out why Jade was so nice to Winter but treated her like she was the enemy even though they were both her kids.
Noelle nibbled on her lip and let out a silent, sad chuckle. "I was busy at work and didn't hear the phone. Do you needfor something, Mom?" No matter how upset she was, Jade was the woman who had brought her into the world and cared for her. Noelle could not forget that, even if she was angry 1/2 Jade just huffed, "Is your job more important than your own mother? It seems like you're not takingseriously anymore," Noelle mumbled, "That's not true, Mom. I was really working. Is there something you were?
Jade snapped, "Do I need a reason to call my daughter? Look at yourself. I'm your mom, you should be the one coming to me, not the other way around. You're acting too big for your boots" Jade's words were sharp and mean, not at all how a mother should talk to her child,
No matter how much it hurt, Noelle could not talk back to Jade, Shem could only say, 'Work's been really busy lately, I-"
"Busy, busy, busy. That's all I hear. Your sister's a big star. Are you busier than her? You're being m disrespectful. She always makes tto visitand calls to check on me. What about you? "You moved out, and now, you won't even chome, How did I end up with someone as cold-hearted as you?" Comments Ads by Pubfuture
