Girls were not supposed to ask guys questions like that, were they? Charles watched her, a playful smile creeping into his eyes as he saw her squirm. His fingers drummed lightly on the table, each tap echoing in Noelle's chest Noelle chewed on her lip, her embarrassment growing. She felt like she had lost all control of the conversation. "I mean... just forget I asked, okay? Don't take it seriously!" 1 "What if I do take it seriously?" Charles's voice was cool but teasing.
Noelle was ready to just shrug off the whole awkward moment, but Charles's response stopped her cold. She looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise. "What?" She had figured Charles was just messing with her, especially after his earlier gesture, and she had nearly given up hope. "Can you repeat that?" "You heard it," Charles said, his eyes twinkling. "I always keep my word, and I'm not one for jokes. I told you I'd give y you tto think, and now that you've made your decision, there's no turning back."

He gestured with an open hand, inviting her question. Noelle's voice was hesitant. “It's the squestion as before. Why me?" The silence stretched on, the air heavy between them.
Charles's gaze was sharp, cold, scrutinizing Noelle as if trying to unravel a mystery, then he let it go and chuckled softly. "Are you really hung up on getting an answer, Ms. Shaw?" After a brief pause, Noelle nodded.
