Coming back to her senses, she pulled her hand away from his. "I never knew you could be so cheeky!" Although she spoke teasingly, she felt a sweetness in her heart.
She bowed her head and carefully tied Charles' tie, thinking that happiness could be so simple. Being with Charles wasn't as hard to accept as she had once imagined.
When she finished tying the tie, Noelle released Charles' hand. However, he immediately pulled her close, lifting her chin to look her in the eyes.

Charles raised an eyebrow, prompting the manager to continue, "Would you like to join them, Mr. Hoffman? Their room is next to yours." After saying that, he glanced at Noelle next to Charles.

Charles frowned slightly and looked at Noelle. She looked back at him, her hand twitching slightly in his. She was waiting for his decision.
