Chapter 37 A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as Noelle launched herself into Nicolass arms without a hint of hesitation .
The crowd thought , What the hell ! Who is this fearless little girl who dared to throw herself at the boss ? While Nicolas might have a notorious reputation as a playboy , the inner circle of Star Club knew the truth : Nicolass flirtatious image was a smokescreen for the public .
In reality , he was meticulously self controlled so much so that rumors swirled about his … pristine state .
But what happened next left everyone even more floored Rather than pushing Noelle away .
Nicolas smoothly wrapped his arms around her , his face softening with a smile so tender it practically dripped with affection Kan through fifteen floors , huh ? Did you wear yourself out ! he asked , his tone warm and low .
Nope ! Noelle tilted her face up , her voice as sweet and light as a bell .
Her crescent moon eyes sparkled as she beamed at him.
Fifteen floors were breeze for me 1 thought so Nicolas chuckled softly.
Uh … Boss , whos this … Someone in the group finally dared to ask , unable to suppress their curiosity any longer .
Nicolas seemed to suddenly remember they werent alone .
Glancing at the onlookers , he introduced her casually .
This is Noelle , the daughter of the Anderson family .
She was switched at birth in the hospital and only recently returned to her family As if to underline his words , Nicolas loosened his embrace just enough to ruffle Noelles soft hair , his actions so intimate they might as well have been in their own little world .
Elly , these are the key staff members of the club trusted insiders .
Noelles face lit up with a bright smile , and she greeted the group enthusiastically , Hi , everyone ! Im Noelle .
The introductions began : Miss Anderson , nice to meet you .
Im Jude Russell Hello , Miss Anderson .
Cody Griffiths here Archer Francis pleasure to meet you you ? Finally , the lone woman in the group stepped forward , her lips curving into a playful smile .
Hi , Miss Anderson .
Im Miriam .
Weve met before do you remember mer Noelle blinked at Miriam before her eyes sparkled with recognition .
Oh ! Youre the lady who came out of Nicks room that day ! Miriams uile deepened .
Im flattered you remember me .
Of course ! Noelle nodded vigorously .
Then , with innocent excitement , she added , You said next time wed hang out together you , me , and Nick .
When are we doing that ? The room froze .
What did the just say ? the crowd thought All eyes darted to Nicolas , Miriam , and Noelle .
Together ? All three of them ! the others thought .
For a moment , Nicolass squeaky clean reputation in their inner circle teetered dangerously .
Was this the real Nicolas ? Had his gentlemanly façade been a front all along ! Even Miriam wasnt expecting Noelle to bring that up .
She blinked , startled , before quickly recovering with a sultry smile .
Tossing a playful look at Nicolas , she purred , Well , Im always available .
Its just up to the boys .
Nick Noelles eager gaze swung to Nicolas .
Her face practically radiated hopefulness , as if one word from him could set the plan into motion .
Nicolas sighed inwardly , pressing his fingers to his temple .
This girl .
With a soft flick , he tapped Noelle lightly on the forehead .
What are you thinking ? Didnt I already tell you ! Youre too young for thines 9:29 AM c Chapter 37 Kily doublact like kid kid ? Noelle pouted , putting out her cheeks indignantly .
Nick , Im an adult now ! Maybe legally , Nicolas teased , his voice soft but firm , lait mentally , youre still a child .
So , no ? Hearing yet another rejection .
Noelles cheeks puffed out even more , resembling an adorable , grumpy pufferfish .
Π Nicolas wasnt fared .
If there was one thing he excelled at , it was coaxing Noelle .
Stirling his arm around her shoulders , he leaned in close and said , You must be starving after all that running around .
Thad Bryan prepare a feast lots of meat .
Lets go eat ? Meat Noelles sulk evaporated instantly .
Her eyes lit up , and she followed his lead , asking eagerly .
I want wagyu steak 5A grade ! Nicolas sand , Done And roast chicken ! The kind with crispy skin and juicy meat inside ! And lamh skewers ! They need to be sizzling and covered in cumin and chili powder .
All of it .
Whatever you want Nicolas asked .
Still mad ? Satisfied .
Noelle nodded .
Okay Im not mad anymore .
Nicolas smirked , guiding her toward the dining area while she happily babbled about food .
The staff left behind stared in stunned silence .
Tve never seen the boss dote on anyone like that , one of them murmured .
Right ? Is Miriam the one he used to rely on to scare women away ? What happened ? Miriam , who had been silently watching , let out a dry laugh .
Her gaze lingered on Nicolass retreating figure , a hint of melancholy in her eyes .
Gurs Miss Anderson is special ; she said lightly , masking her feelings es with a shrug .
Didnt the boss swear he wasnt interested in marrying into the Anderson family ? Looks like hes changed his mind .
I dont know , but it looks like the boss really likes Miss Anderson , the group murmured as they left .
One person stayed behind , standing next to Miriam .
In a calm voice , they asked , Miriam , are you Okay ! Although Miriam was technically just a pawn in Nicolass game for show , Archer knew deep down she genuinely cared for the boss Tintine Mariam smiled and shrugged .
Since shes the one the boss picked , there must be something special about her .
As long as the boss likes ber , of course , I wish them well bering Miriam unile so carefree , the man couldnt help but secretly relax .
He asked , Miss Andersons here now , so the boss probably wont anymtatate .
How about we go grab a drink ? How ? Aar pus treating ? Miriam raised an eyebrow Till treat said the man .

Leia feigned a helpless sigh .
Noelle left to meet Nicolas .
She walked out right in the middle of the gathering , and Harley ..
Well , he probably thought it was disrespectful and left too .
The whole thing was a disaster .
Its my fault I shouldve stopped her .
Elis face darkened , his voice rising .
Leia , are you telling me Noelle went off to find Nicolas again ? Ah ! Eli ! What are you doing here ! Feigning surprise , Leia widened her eyes .
Oh , Eli, I didnt realize you were there .
Im sorry I really tried to stop her , but she just wouldnt listen .
