Noelle never expected Charles to be bored enough to join her in arguing with Winter. She had not seen Charles earlier and assumed he had left.

At that moment, saying she was not happy would have been a lie. She felt good being treated so kindly by Charles.

Their banter was almost enough to infuriate Winter. She could not believe Charles had approached because of Noelle, not her.

Why

did Noelle deserve to be remembered by a man like Charles?

Both she and Noelle met Charles for the first time that day. At the birthday banquet, Charles had not even noticed Noelle. Why did he take the initiative to greet Noelle now?

The more Winter thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply became a bystander as Noelle and Charles interacted. Charles had completely forgotten about her and was chatting enthusiastically with Noelle.

In Winter’s mind, Noelle was

just unworthy.

Annie and Suzy felt the same. At first, they thought the man looked impressive. After all, no woman could ignore a handsome man. Seeing Charles in his high–end attire, they assumed he was a

wealthy heir.

When Winter mentioned his surname was Hoffman, they knew exactly who he was since there were not many wealthy people with that surname in Brookville.

However, this man ignored them, focusing instead on Noelle. It was infuriating.

“Mr. Hoffman,” Annie interrupted the conversation between Noelle and Charles, unwilling to be overlooked. “Hello, I’m Annie Adams, Cody Adams‘ sister.”

Charles furrowed his brows, raising an eyebrow at Annie.

Annie felt a burst of joy as Charles finally noticed her. She looked at him expectantly, but he merely nodded slightly before shifting his gaze away.

Annie’s frustration grew as Charles‘ brief acknowledgment left her feeling ignored again. “Mr. Hoffman-”

“Miss, here are your size seven flats. Please come try them on!” The sales attendant returned with the shoes and looked at Noelle.

Noelle smiled while glancing at Charles. “Mr. Hoffman, I’ll go try them on,

“Sure.” Charles nodded. As Noelle went to try on the shoes, he slowly turned his attention to Winter and her friends.

Annie’s mood brightened again with Charles‘ focus on them. Winter and Suzy were equally hopeful. They were women, after all. They could not help but feel excited as Charles walked toward them.

Winter even thought that if she were not already with Xavier, she would definitely pursue.

Charles.

Charles curled his lips, his gaze briefly lingering on the three women before moving on. He walked past them and headed to the display cabinet, staring at a pair of high heels.

The three women’s expressions darkened once again. Being ignored by Charles multiple times was unbearable, especially in such a high–end store with many eyes watching.

Winter was a celebrity used to being the center of attention. She found it particularly hard to accept that only Charles consistently overlooked her.
