Chapter 847
Without realizing it, Noreen walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and reached out, as if to catch the swirling snowflakes.
It wasn’t until her fingers brushed the cold glass that she remembered she was indoors.
A rare spectacle like snow in Harborview City wasn’t something anyone wanted to miss.
Everyone abandoned the photo op and headed downstairs to witness the miracle. Even Leonardo invited Noreen to join them.
A quick-witted secretary took the chance to kiss up, “They say a timely snow promises a good harvest. This blessing from the sky means the partnership between Regaluxe and Centribo is going to be a massive success!”
Leonardo was thrilled to hear it.
Noreen also felt a strange, unexplainable lightness in her chest.
When the group got downstairs, they didn’t feel the slightest chill in the air.
Harborview City’s temperature wouldn’t lie, and no snow was sticking to the ground.
When the flakes landed on their palms, they didn’t even last two seconds before melting into droplets of water.
There was something strange about this snow.
“It looks like artificial snow,” someone guessed.
The theory was quickly confirmed.
Noreen eventually spotted the snow machine.
It really was artificial snow.
Cecilia looked a bit disappointed. “I knew it. How could it possibly snow in Harborview City?”
“Still, it’s so romantic! I wonder which wealthy CEO is confessing his love?” she said with a dreamy expression. “If someone confessed to me in such a romantic way, I’d marry him on the spot!”
Leonardo lightly tapped her on the head. “You’d get fooled by a little trick like this? Have some standards! This is just the scheming of some player!”
“Ugh, you’re always ruining my fantasies. I’m going to end up a spinster because of you,” Cecilia complained, rubbing her head and grumbling about her father’s lack of romance.
Leonardo didn’t know whether to scold her or laugh.
The snow machine kept blowing flakes into the air, and pedestrians on the street all stopped in their tracks.
Some admired the view, while others took photos.
Noreen’s phone buzzed.
A message had come through.
It was from an unsaved number, but she knew exactly who it belonged to.
He said.
[Forgive me.]
“Damn it! That’s cheating! Instant zero! Deduct all his points!”
Claire Chase was shouting over the phone, utterly disdainful of Seth’s cunning tactics.
So what if he had money?
Okay, having money was pretty great.
Noreen replied slowly, “He’s already in the negatives with me. There are no points left to deduct.”
Hearing this, Claire finally let out a sigh relief. “As long as you didn’t get fooled by him.”
What a scheming jerk!
Noreen calculated the date and asked her, “You’re signing the divorce papers tomorrow. Excited?”
The moment this was brought Claire got fired up, I’m so pumped I could take on
the work et
now!
Once tomorrow passed, she would finally be free!
“I know you’re excited, but pace yourself. Get some beauty sleep tonight so you look radiant when you get that divorce. Don’t
embarrass us women!” Nor
Ben
reminded her.
Claire practically bounced off the
Kol
sofa. “You’re totally right! I’m heading to the spa right now full body treatment .net>
Noreen laughed at her enthusiasm. “Go on, have fun. It’s on me.
Claire blew a loud kiss into the phone. “Love you, boss!”
The aggressive kiss gave Noreen goosebumps. “Hanging up now.”
Claire changed her clothes and headed out the door, humming a happy tune on her way to the spa.
But before she even arrived, Felix Quigley called her.
For some reason, her right eyelid twitched twice.
A bad omen.
Ignore!
She immediately hung up.
She didn’t want her excellent mood ruined by that jerk.
Felix didn’t call back, but he sent her a text message.
[There’s a clause in the divorce agreement that needs to be amended. Come to the
Quigley Group.]
