The Cherished Wife



Charles smirked and gently tapped Noelle on the nose. "If you make it this obvious, aren't you worried your friend will feel awkward?"

"Was it that obvious?" Noelle blinked. "I'm just trying to do something nice for them. Teresa is a great girl, and I think my mentor has a pretty decent character. He seems to have a good impression of Teresa too!"

"That's not necessarily true." Charles remained neutral. "Matters of the heart are best understood by those involved. You should stay out of it."

"I'm not meddling! I just noticed they seemed interested in each other, so I thought I'd help them along. Even if they don't end up together, at least they got to know each other." Noelle chuckled. "By the way, how did your talk with Peter go today?"

"Not bad."

Noelle held the water bottle up to Charles' lips. Charles glanced at her, catching the mischievous glint in her eyes. He shook his head in resignation but still took a sip.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you had Mr. Wells deal with Winter's situation? How's that going?"

Charles explained, "She had some disagreements with the crew, and someone recorded a video to threaten her. It's not a big deal. Ronald can handle it. So, you don't have to worry about her bothering you for a while. She has a knack for stirring up trouble for herself."

Noelle nodded, offering Charles another sip of water. "Seems like you know my sister pretty well. She really does know how to get into trouble. Growing up with her, I noticed that besides picking on me, she always manages to create problems for herself too."

Noelle recalled their school days when Winter did not just clash with her; she also had strained relationships with others in their department.

With her delicate appearance, Winter was popular among men but did not quite have the same appeal with women.

Reflecting on this, Noelle felt relieved. "Hopefully, she'll stay busy with the crew for a while."

That way, Noelle's life would be a bit more peaceful.

Nevertheless, these were just

Noelle's hopes. Winter simply could not stand seeing Noelle do well. If she were not currently preoccupied with her work, she would likely be causing trouble for Noelle again.

Unable to target Noelle directly, Winter had found other people around her to bother.

Winter's assistant, a diligent and hardworking young woman, bore the brunt of Winter's frustration.

Winter had a tough scene today and got scolded by the director, leaving her stewing in anger with nowhere to vent.

The assistant, unfortunately, became the target.

As she was in a foul mood, Winter unleashed a tirade on the poor woman.

"When I asked for water, I didn't

mean for you to burn me! Try drinking it yourself, just a sip—see if it scalds you!" Winter fumed as she threw the cup she was holding directly at her assistant. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Winter was resting under a tree while the rest of the crew was still rehearsing nearby. Hearing Winter's outburst, they all looked up, just in time to see a cup flying straight toward the assistant.

"Watch out!"
