Chapter 149
Laura looked surprised.
Sadie glanced at Averi, who was playing with his toys. “Don’t worry. Carol will come during the day to help.”
Laura nodded after a moment of silence.
Back in her room, Sadie took a deep breath, trying to settle her thoughts. She opened her laptop and continued refining her brand logo design. The company registration was nearly complete and would be finalized in about two weeks. Time was pressing, and she needed to focus on preparing her brand.
“It has to succeed,” she murmured to herself.
Yet, the memory of Noah’s forceful kiss haunted her. Frustrated, she rubbed her temples, struggling to focus. She spent the night restless and uneasy.
The next morning, with dark circles under her eyes, Sadie grabbed her purse and headed out, determined to face the day.
“Grandma, I’m going to check out some office spaces. I might not be back for lunch,” she said.
“Alright, be careful on the road,” Laura responded, her voice tinged with concern.
Sadie then contacted the real estate agent she had previously spoken with, detailing her requirements.
“Miss Hudson, I found a few office spaces in the city center according to your budget. Shall we take a look?” the agent suggested enthusiastically.
Together, they toured several office buildings. One in particular caught Sadie’s eye due to its ample lighting and suitable size.
“How do you feel about this one? If it’s suitable, we can start the contract process,” the agent said.
Sadie hesitated for a moment. “It’s not bad. But…”

“Do you have any concerns, Miss Hudson? Actually, there’s another one that might suit you even better. It’s near Wall Group, prime location, and the price is about the same,” the agent added.
Sadie’s heart skipped a beat, and she almost blurted out, “No, this one will do.”
She wanted nothing more to do with Wall Group.
“Alright, Miss Hudson, I’ll prepare the contract,” the agent said, noticing her reluctance to explore further options.
Sadie took the documents for the chosen office space and went with the agent to the agency to sign the contract. Sitting in the waiting area, she reviewed the contract terms, trying to push aside the unease in her heart.
“What a coincidence, Sadie.”
Kyla’s piercing voice shattered the silence. Sadie looked up to see Kyla striding in on high heels.
“What brings you here, Miss Wade?” The agent quickly stood up, his face breaking into a polite smile.
Kyla glanced at Sadie disdainfully, her lips curling into a mocking smile. “Noah said he’d buy me a place and let me choose.”
Sadie’s fingers tightened slightly around the contract, but she kept her face impassive.
“Oh? Tired of living at Myrtlewood Estate?” Sadie asked.noveldrama
Kyla’s demeanor stiffened, her gaze sharpening. “Sadie, stop with the sarcasm! What right do you have to be so arrogant now?”
Sadie let out a soft, cold laugh, locking eyes with her. “I’m just curious, Miss Wade. It’s been three years, and you still haven’t moved into Myrtlewood Estate?”
The air grew heavy with tension, both women poised on the brink of a confrontation.
The real estate agent shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting nervously between Kyla and Sadie as perspiration dotted his brow. “Uh… you’re both my clients. Let’s talk this over calmly—”
