"Do you have any other matters to discuss, Ms. Hudson?" he asked casually after taking a sip.

Sadie met his gaze steadily.
"You are aware of Coyle's intentions, Mr. Noel. I only hope that our collaboration proceeds smoothly and conflict- free." Noah chuckled lightly, his gaze laden with meaning.
"You wantto reject him?" "Do you have a reason not to?" Sadie asked with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders. "You chose us for what we can offer you, not for the sake of insignificant players in the field." She caught Noah's interest now. This woman was more intriguing than he had anticipated.
"You are quite confident, Ms. Hudson." "I am not speaking out of personal confidence, I am simply conveying the power of the Wall Group." Noah's eyes flickered with amusement. He did enjoy interacting with intelligent people.
"All right," he said, not bothering to hide the smile in his voice. "As you wish." Sadie beamed. "Thank you, Mr. Noel." With everything out of the way, the atmosphere between them lightened significantly. Sadie pushed her cup away and made to leave. "I'll see you this Friday, Mr. Noel." "Ms. Hudson," Noah suddenly called out before she could take more than two steps away.
Sadie paused and looked back, her brows furrowed with a silent question.

Sadie hesitated and glanced at her watch. It was actually too late for breakfast.
But given the conversation they had just had, it seemed rather in badm taste to refuse his invitation.

"Patrick! So sorry to keep you waiting!" A man waved wavedenthusiastically at Noah as he barreled into the establishment.
