Chapter 178
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office…
“Mr. Wall, the work reports for today have been completed,” Samuel reported, closing the folder as he stood respectfully before the desk.
Noah’s fingers tapped lightly on the desktop, the sound soft in the quiet room. “Anything else?”
Samuel blinked, momentarily confused. He had already reported everything from Wall Group’s recent stock market performance to the initiation of new projects.
Noah lifted his eyes, a hint of impatience flickering through them. “Sadie… has she settled in?”
It took a moment for Samuel to catch Noah’s drift. A bead of sweat formed on his forehead as he quickly answered, “Everything’s arranged, but… her office is currently in the logistics warehouse.”
Noah’s expression turned even colder.
“Understood. You may leave now.” He dismissed Samuel with a wave of his hand.
Relieved, Samuel turned to leave, but Noah’s voice halted him.
“Wait.”
Samuel’s heart skipped a beat. Had he overlooked something? He turned back cautiously, his voice respectful. “Mr. Wall, is there anything else?”
“The branch office in Amberhollow is negotiating a deal. They need someone with legal expertise,” Noah stated, his tone neutral.
He paused briefly before concluding, “Send Kyla there immediately.” Amberhollow—a remote and underdeveloped region known for its poor infrastructure and harsh conditions. Sending Kyla there was more akin to punishment than an assignment.
Samuel hesitated briefly but quickly grasped the implication. He nodded. “Yes, Mr. Wall. I’ll make the arrangements right away.” Without asking further questions, Samuel quickly left the office, sensing that Noah’s directive was far from coincidental.
Later, as Samuel relayed the message to Kyla and turned to leave, a sharp crash resonated through the room. A delicate coffee cup had shattered on the floor, its fragments scattering everywhere.

Kyla’s face twisted with rage, her breathing quick and uneven.
“Amberhollow? How could Noah send me to that wasteland?!”
“Miss Wade, please try to calm down…” her assistant ventured cautiously.
“Calm down? How can I calm down?!” Kyla snapped back. “Amberhollow is a nightmare no one deserves!”
Her hands balled into fists as she took a deep breath, attempting to regain her composure. She recalled seeing Sadie’s calm, composed smile earlier that day in the design department.
It dawned on her—this must be Sadie’s influence. Noah was punishing her, perhaps at Sadie’s behest.
The more Kyla pondered, the more her anger and jealousy grew.
Resolved, she decided she would make Sadie pay for this.
“Miss Wade, are we going there or not?” the assistant inquired timidly, her eyes flicking around anxiously.
Kyla’s gaze snapped up, her anger barely masked by her makeup. “Samuel just personally delivered the message! Do you think Noah hasn’t already decided? Why even ask?!” she barked.
The assistant recoiled, quickly bowing her head.noveldrama
“Yes, Miss Wade. I didn’t mean to question it…”
“Get the deputy director of the design department here immediately,” Kyla commanded.
The assistant, not daring to delay, hurriedly left to fulfill the order.
