Chapter 244 However, Ruby felt conflicted as she thought of Winter's demeanor.
Despite her long experience as a producer, it was the first tshe encountered someone she disliked to such an extent, which left her quite astonished.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoticing Ruby's persistent gaze, Noelle glanced over in a puzzled manner. Recognizing Ruby as the person who conducted Winter's audition, she smiled and nodded slightly.
Feeling flattered by Noelle's acknowledgment, Ruby returned the smile.
Charles tapped the meeting table, drawing everyone's attention. "I don't want Noelle's identity to be discussed by outsiders, especially those outside of Royal Star Entertainment. Hence, this is also not to be discussed internally." "Yes, we understand!" With that, Charles dismissed the meeting, "You can all go back to work now." He then added, "Ms. Clark, please stay behind." Ruby was stunned to hear Charles call her ndirectly, "Yes, Mr. Hoffman!" Once everyone else had left, there were only the three of them in the large conference room. Charles smiled slightly. "How did Winter's audition go?" Realizing that the boss indeed had sconnection with Winter, Ruby glanced at Noelle and was hesitant to speak.
Charles noticed Ruby's hesitation and asked, "Why are you looking at her?" Ruby took a deep breath. "Mr. Hoffman, may I ask if Royal Star Entertainment is really going to sign Winter Shaw?" "Do you have any objections?" Charles asked, his tone flat and indifferent.
Ruby quickly shook her head, "No, I wouldn't dare!" She continued, "Ms. Winter's acting skills are impressive. It's the first tI've seen someone live their life as if it were a theatrical performance!" Noelle smiled slightly. She very quickly understood Ruby's genuine dislike for Winter.
Charles raised an eyebrow and glanced at Noelle. "This is Ruby .nét Clark. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask her.

"You wantto suppress her?" "No. How could I propose that? After all, she's your sister. It's more like you'll be looking after her by signing her and making her famous. Isn't this a favor to her?" Charles said, standing up and gently tucking a strand of hair behind Noelle's ear. "How does that sound?" Noelle burst out laughing. "You think further ahead than I do. I never thought of this when we exchanged equity. You're quite devious. If Winter finds out, she might despise me!" Charles chuckled. "She chose to jump in here herself. No one forced her!"

As for the new , make sure to reassure Mr. Chevalier and ask for his understanding." Ruby immediately understood Charles' instructions. It seemed she was kept behind to learn how to handle the situation.
As Ruby left, she could not help but glance back at Noelle and Charles, feeling the situation was almost... unbelievable. In her eyes, Charles had always been a serious and stern man, yet here he was, showing a different side of him.
When Ruby returned to her office, she found a fellow executive waiting for her. Seeing her somewhat dazed O expression, they asked, "What's Mr. Hoffman up to today? Who exactly is Noelle Shaw? I feel like she..." X
