After leaving the café, Noel didn’t take his car. He walked aimlessly on the street instead. For the first time, he felt
that though Richburgh was vast, he couldn’t find a place to belong.
He was alone…
Like a lost soul.
Even when Julian called, Noel couldn’t muster the energy to talk to his boss.
After finally finishing his work report, Julian found it strange and asked, “You still haven’t had a successful kiss?”
If the kiss had been successful, Noel should be full of spirit right now and not so listless.
“You said you wanted to prepare a memorable and heartfelt confession for Cecilia. Did it work?”
Did it work?
Noel hadn’t even seen her face.

As he spoke, Noel seemed to have finally found someone he could confide in. He began to cry like a child.
“Mrs. Jarvis wants to give me a check of 1.5 million dollars, saying that Cecilia’s too busy shopping and can’t be
bothered to break up with me in person. The Jarvises are using that to compensate me and remind me of this
‘favor’ after the breakup. They don’t want Cecilia’s illness to be publicized. Am I so despicable in their eyes? That I’d
want to tarnish a lady’s reputation even after the breakup?”
Julian was a little angry over what the Jarvises had done. It was mainly because to him, Noel wasn’t just an ordinary
assistant. The latter had been like a brother to him, staying with him for so many years.
“You can’t just listen to Sue,” Julian said. “You need to see Cecilia in person, talk to her face to face, and confirm
whether the breakup is really what she wants.”
“I’ve already talked to her on the phone, and she said she wants to break up,” Noel replied.
“Have you met her?” Julian asked. “When she said it over the phone, can you be sure that she wasn’t being
coerced?”
His words were akin to seeing the sun after days of overcast weather.
Noel’s eyes lit up. “Sir, you’re right! I should make an effort to meet with Ms. Jarvis. Only when we meet in person
and she says she wants to break up, will I accept it.”
But…
“Mrs. Jarvis won’t let me meet Cecilia,” Noel continued, disheartened.
“No problem,” Julian assured him. “I’ll find a way to make sure you and Cecilia get to see each other.”
Noel hummed in agreement, his voice slightly hoarse from crying.
Julian didn’t hold back at all, and said bluntly, “Okay, that’s enough. Remember when we were trapped in the high
seas, hunted everywhere, and people were trying to kill us abroad, with severe injuries? You never shed a tear. Is it

Noel was momentarily choked up by Julian’s words, and actually felt quite pathetic.
After a moment, he retorted, “Sir, you’re the most impressive person in my eyes. Back when we couldn’t find Mrs.
Fulcher, why did you cry every day, like you’re going to die?”
Julian, who did cry every day once, mumbled, “Mind your own business!”
“Well, I was involved in that business,” Noel said, gradually regaining his spirit. “So I was minding my own business.”
Julian was speechless.
Noel was such a bastard!
How could Julian have thought about helping Noel with his relationship problems?
He was not only incapable of romance, but was also utterly clueless about anything other than work.
If he had any other boss, he would have been fired a hundred times over.
Fortunately, Julian was an especially forgiving, humble, and respectful boss…
