NovelAppRonald was more than just an assistant. He had been running Royal Star Entertainment and CuCorner for
Charles, proving he could stand on his own two feet. "Go ahead," Charles encouraged.
"Royal Star Entertainment is looking to put money into a few new movies. Ruby's made up a list, and I'll email it
to you first thing in the morning." Even though Ronald ran things at Royal Star Entertainment, he always made
sure to fill Charles in on the big decisions.
Charles rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Movies?" He drummed his fingers on the desk. "When's Winter's TV show
going to start filming?"
"Middle of next month," Ronald replied, then hesitated. "Mr. Hoffman, Winter's wedding is in three days. Did you
get the invite?"
Charles's smile said it all.
Joseph, the sly old fox, would not pass up that chance. Xavier marrying Winter was a big deal, and Joseph would
definitely want Charles in on it.
Charles had a reputation in Brookville, after all. If he did not use it then, where would he?
"Are you going to the wedding, Mr. Hoffman?" Ronald wondered. Noelle had married Charles, and since she was
Winter's sister, she would definitely be there. Ronald knew Winter might cause trouble for Noelle because of their
rocky relationship.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharles was super protective of Noelle, so Ronald guessed he would show up too. However, since no one knew
Charles and Noelle were married, it was hard to guess what Charles would do. Charles squinted, resting his chin
on his hand, and stared at Ronald through the video call without saying a word.
Ronald squirmed in his seat, feeling like he had just said something dumb. "Mr. Hoffman..."
"What's happening in Kerlsberg?" Charles asked out of the blue. Ronald blinked, then replied, "It's quiet. Ever
since they went after Madam, nothing's happened. What should we do, Mr. Hoffman?"
"If there's no news, we'll leave it be,"
Charles said
aid with a wave of his hand. "Take care of the movie stuff on your own. You don't need to telleverything." He
paused, then added, "Drop by CuCorner tomorrow morning and pick up a painting for me, will you?"
"Sure thing!" Ronald said.
Charles clicked off his video chat and drummed his fingers on the desk. He spun his chair around, his eyes drawn
to the thick, dark night sky outside the window. The sound of the trees rustling in the fierce wind made his gaze
grow more intense.
The autumn wind was wild and carefree. He stood by the window for a long while before he finally closed the
curtains and headed back to his bedroom.
Only one lamp was left on in the bedroom, casting a soft yellow glow. The person in the bed was already fast
asleep. He tiptoed into the covers.
Noelle, as if sensing him, turned and wrapped her arms around his waist, snuggling close to him.
