As they approached the grand office , the muffled sound of a mans voice floated through the partially closed door .
Adrielien ir enough that i youre running things ! Im perfectly content being a well dressed idler .

Inside .
Nicolas sat reclined in a leather chait , his posture effortlessly casual .
His long , elegant fingers toyed with a sleek silver pen , spinning it between has knuckles with practiced case .
His entire demeanor radiated sophistication and a kind of careless allure that was frankly , devastatingly As his gaze flicked toward the door , his expression softened upon seeing Noelle .
He motioned for her to come closer Noelle didnt need a second invitation .
She practically bounced across the room , moving with the lightness of a cat .
Within seconds , she was standing right in front of him .
Without missing a beat .
Nicolas hooked a hand around her wrist and gave a a gentle i tug , effortlessly pulling her into his lap .
For anyone else , the move might have been a cause for bashfulness or protest .
But not Noelle .
She happily curled her arms around his neck , settling into his embrace as if it were the most natural thing in the world .
Meanwhile , the voice on the phone continued .
Nicolas .
I know youre still bitter about not being assigned a position in the Sawyer Groups core management , but Adriels offering you the music production company .
You could prove yourself there , and Ill talk to Father about promoting you יינו .
The speaker stone was conciliatory , almost kindly .
Dont bother , Nicolas replied , his smile sharp and laced with cold amusement .
Id rather avoid the headache of actual work .
I have 30 % of the Sawyer Groups shares , dont I Thats more than enough to live comfortably for a lifetime .
You and Adriel can handle the heavy lifting Ell just sit back and enjoy my dividends .
A pause hung in the air , heavy with unspoken tension Finally , the voice on the other end belonging to Nicolass brother , Marshall let out a forced laugh .
Youve got it easy , dont you ? Living off your shares while the rest of us break our backs Well isnt that what youve always wanted ? Nicolass tone turned mockingly sweet .
Youre the ambitious workaholic Father adores .
Meanwhile .
I get to reap the rewards of your hard work .
Its a win win , isnt it ? The jab was impossible to miss , and Marshall fell silent for several long moments before speaking again , his tone noticeably strained .
Fine .
Suit yourself .
But Ive heard youve been spending time with the Anderson familys daughter .
If things are serious , why not bring her home to incet the family Shes sly Nicolas lied smoothly , stroking Noelles hair as he spoke .
Maybe some other time .
Noelle ulted her head , her brow furrowing in confusion .
Shy ? She wanted to protest since when was she shy but before she could speak .
Nicolas pressed a hand to the back of her head , effectively silencing her by tucking her back against his chest .
As she nestled against hum , Noelle caught a faint whiff of his cologne clean and crisp , with a subtle , enticing warmth .
Her little nose twitched as she inhaled deeply .
Nick smelled so good , she thought with a blissful sigh , taking another sniff for good measure .
On the phone , Marshall sighed .
Well , talk to her .
Shell need to meet us eventually if shes going to join the family San Nicolas replied with disinterest .
Marshall said his goodleyes , and Nicolas ended the call with a flick of his thumb , tossing the phone onto the desk .
Noelle peeked up at him , noting the faint tension in his jaw .
Nick , do you not get along with your family ? Not at all , Nicolas replied bluntly .
Why ? 2/3 9:31 AM Chapter 6 His lips curved into a mischievous smirk .
Want to know ? Yes ! Then kiss me .
Nicolas said .
Hed meant it as a joke , but before he could react , Noelles face lit up .
Without hesitation , she leaned in and pressed her lips to his The gesture was bold but utterly unskilled just a simple press of lips against lips .
It lacked finesse , and Nicolas winced slightly as her teeth bumped against his .
Are you trying to kiss me or headbutt me ? he teased , rubbing his jaw .
Isnt this how you do it Noelle asked innocently , tilting her head .
Ive never kissed anyone before , so I just copied what Ive seen Nicolas sighed , equal parts amused and exasperated .
Youre hopeless , he muttered , his fingers threading through her hair .
Fine .
Ill teach you …..
later .
Why not now ? she asked , her eyes sparkling with unbridled curiosity Nicolas stiffened .
This girl was relentless .
Nicolass eyes twitched .
Nicolas thought .
What kind of freak is this girl ! How come you are more impatient than a man ? Nicolas was afraid that Noelle would take him down right here , so he quickly held her little paw that was trying to make trouble and asked , Didnt you want to know why my relationship with my family is not good ! Do you still want to listen ? Noelle immediately replied , Yes Then sit still and behave .
Noelle pouted but obediently settled herself , though her eyes still gleamed with anticipation.
Nick , after youre done explaining , will you teach me how to kiss ? Looking at the adorable girl nestled in his lap , her gaze filled with earnest curiosity , Nicolas felt his resolve weaken .
His lips curved into a slow , wicked smile .
She nodded enthusiastically .
She was curious about everything unknown .
And strive to be the best ! Nicolas curled his lips into a slight smile .
Chuckling .
Nicolas tilted her chin up with a gentle touch , his vo voice dropping to a husky murmur .
Alright , baby .
