As Joshua’s assistant, David did not directly agree to Noelle’s request.
“It’s work time now. Ms. Coffey, please go to work.”
It was Eliza who arranged for Noelle to join thepany.
David also received the news regarding this matter today.

Having failed to conduct a prior investigation or report to his boss, he was already extremely apprehensive.
If he really helped Noelle arrange her schedule, he’d probably end up being sent by Joshua to Kregonia to dig mines.
Noelle left in disappointment.
David entered the office.
Joshua hadn’t started the international meeting.
He asked David in a nonchnt tone, “Did Eliza arrange for her to join thepany?”
David nodded. “Ms. Coffey recently won the championship in the jewelrypetition, so Mrs. Garcia appointed her as the chief designer”
Joshua did not express any opinion.
He put on his Bluetooth headset and said lightly, “Strictly adhere topany standards to ensure the sessfulunch of thepany’s jewelry brand next quarter.”
“Got it,” David replied.
As David was about to leave, Joshua asked again, “How are Schultz Group and Ford Group doing?”
“Ford Group is currently showing signs of recovery, while Schultz Group is about to go bankrupt.”
Joshua nodded and joined the video conference.
David left the office.

For a whole week, Xylia was confined to the Sadler Mansion and didn’t go out.
She was not anxious, nor did she lose her temper or quarrel with her four brothers.
She remained unusually quiet, quietly eating when it was time to eat, carefully taking her medication when it
was time to take it, and peacefully resting when it was time to rest.
8:24 Thu<b>, </b>Sep 18 N
Each of the four brothers of the Sadler family harbored his own doubts.
But they felt quite relieved about Xylia being in this state.
Kaden was in a bad mood these past couple of days.

He usually had an expressionless, cold look on his face. Although his manner remained just as icy now, his face clearly disyed a noticeably greater amount of anger.
Xylia had probably figured out what was happening.
She took out her phone and looked at the message sent to her by Rosalind.
She deliberately cleared his throat.
“Kaden, Rosalind invited me to go out and have fun.”
Upon hearing the words ‘Rosalind‘, Kaden was visibly unsettled.
He frowned at Xylia and asked, “When did you get in touch with her?”
“A few days ago, when Rosalind was discussing a potential coboration with Joshua, she mentioned me and took the opportunity to ask Joshua for my contact information.”
She did not conceal anything and sincerely told Kaden.
Kaden heard Joshua again, which made him even more displeased.
“Did they mention you when discussing cooperation? Was it a casual chat?”
Xylia pretended to be calm as she scrolled through her phone. “Well, I don’t know,” she said. “Anyway, Rosalind asked me to go out, but since you grounded me, I had to turn her down.”
Xylia stood up with her phone and said to Kaden, “I’m going to call Rosalind.”
“Wait a moment.”
Xylia halted the step she had just taken.
The corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint triumphant smile where Kaden could not see.
“Since she invited you, you should go. I happen to be heading out and can give you a ride.”
Xylia raised an eyebrow.
‘I didn’t expect that Kaden was also someone who pretends not to care but actually does.‘ she thought.
Rosalind invited Xylia to go shopping at Purrfect World.
This was a recently constructed shopping mall in Norhill, featuring a cat–themed design. Models ofrge orange tabby cats were disyed throughout the mall, both inside and outside, creating a warm and cute

atmosphere.
Kaden brought Xylia to the location arranged by Rosalind.
A Japanese restaurant.

Kaden had intended to leave after escorting Xylia to the restaurant entrance, but Xylia suddenly grabbed him and stopped him.
“You’re already here. Why not go in and say hello?”
Kaden was dragged into the dining room by Xylia.
Rosalind was sitting at the dining table by the window, resting her head on her hand as she watched the two people walk over.
“Rosalind, I’ve brought the person. I’m going to im my reward.”
Xylia pressed Kaden down into the seat opposite Rosalind, winked at Rosalind, and then turned to leave.
Only now did Kaden realize that he had been yed by these two women.
He stood up to leave, but Rosalind said lightly, “Sit down.”
Kaden paused, thinking that he shouldn’t make a fuss with a woman.
So he sat down again.
“Go ahead, what’s the matter?”
Can I reach out to you only if there’s something particr? You’re such a busy person, Mr. Sadler. It’s not easy at all to get an appointment with you.
When his gaze met the radiant smile on Rosalind’s face, Kaden slightly pursed his lips and did not think about leaving anymore.
Xylia stood at the doorway, watching as two people sat facing each other.
Kaden maintained an icy expression, yet was repeatedly defeated by Rosalind’s frequent smiles.
Xylia found this pair fun to ship.
“Let’s go. What’s so interesting about watching others fall in love? Let’s go on a date ourselves.”
Joshua held Xylia’s hand and led her toward another restaurant.
Xylia followed him.
“Are you hungry?”
Joshua felt it for a moment and said, “It’s okay.”
<b>8:24 </b><b>Thu</b><b>, </b>Sep <b>18 </b><b>N </b>
“Let’s look around and then go grab a bite.”
Joshua did not refuse.

They seized this opportunity to finally meet each other after much difficulty, and they were as clingy as newlyweds who hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
Passing by the jewelry store, Xylia recalled a list Josie had sent her two days ago.
The client requested that the clothing should incorporate jewelry designs with diverse design elements.
“Let’s go inside and take a look.”
Xylia pulled Joshua into the store.
Joshua assumed that she wanted to buy jewelry and was very enthusiastic about helping her pick out and match the pieces.
However, Xylia looked left and right, appearing to have no intention of making a purchase.
“Not buying?” Joshua asked.
“I’m not buying,” Xylia said. “I already have several sets at home. I came in to take a closer look at these pieces. I have a client who wants to add diverse design elements to a gown, so I’m here to seek inspiration.”
Joshua smiled. She just couldn’t let go of work, even on a date.
A graceful figure emerged from the high–end VIP reception room.
Noelle said to the store clerk, “Make it the store’s high–end jewelry collection that I just mentioned. And in the future, mainly rmend that collection when customerse in.”
“Understood, Noelle.”
As Noelle was walking out, she saw Joshua in the product disy area.
From her vantage point, the column blocked the spot where Xylia stood, so she could only see Joshua.
Her eyes lit up. She tidied up her appearance and walked toward Joshua.
“Joshua…”
Her greeting was interrupted by another voice.
“Joshua, do you consider jewelry with different colorbinations to be diverse design elements? Would disying these several types of jewelry together on a single dress appear incongruous?”
Joshua gave Xylia a teasing look. “We finally get to see each other, and you want to talk about work?”
Xylia smiled and took his arm. “We’re chatting, anyway.”
8:24 Thu, Sep 18 N
They appeared intimate.
Joshua looked at Xylia with a doting and sweet gaze.
:
Noelle stood not far away, watching the scene, her heart stung with pain.
She clenched her fist with all her strength.

Although she heard from Joshua that day about him and Xylia being together, hearing about it and witnessing it in person are fundamentally different.
Her face was pale, and it took immense effort for her to suppress the anger within her heart.
She forced a smile and greeted Joshua as if nothing had happened.
“Joshua.”
