As a transformer , Stanley naturally felt superior to ordinary people , viewing himself as a higher form of existence .
But when facing Nicolas , he couldnt help but feel inferior , as though he were a fish on a chopping block under the mans intense gaze .
Since neither of them said anything , Stanley finally spoke up , clearly uncomfortable .

I know about the organization behind it , so I gave her some info .
You know the organization that tried to kill Noelle ? Nicolas asked , surprised .
He hadnt expected Noelle to seek out Stanley for something like this .
His opinion of Stanley shifted slightly .

Gare to settle that now ! Nicolas chuckled , his eyes glinting with anusement .
You charge quite a bit Stanley shrugged .
Tm worth it .
Nicolas didnt argue .
Instead , he asked , I can pay , but since you can make introductions , could you also connect me with this organization ? Im quite interested Stanleys expression suffered .
He gave Nicolas a wary look and said with a forced smile , Id advise against it .
That organization ... its best you never get involved .
Noelle wouldnt want you to either , Outside the lounge , Karla , despite having scolded Stanley earlier , disint w immediately called Noelle , hoping she could intervene .

By then Nicolas and Stanley had finished their conversation Stanley looked pleased , grimming as he said , Mi Mr.

After Stanley left , Noelle sat next to Nicolas , tilting her head to look at him Nick , youre not mad about the rumors , are you ?

He gestured for her to sit on his lap , and she obliged , wrapping her arms around his neck .
His hands naturally settled on her slender waist as he continued .

His tone was slow , measured , and calm exactly what one would expect from a man of his caliber .
Heh , is that so ! Noelle thed her head and looked at him with a playful glint in her eyes .
Hut you know , I actually kind of hope youd get jealous .
They say jealousy means you care . Upon hearing this , Nicolass eyebrows lifted slightly .
His gaze locked with Noelles mischievous eyes , and then he suddenly confessed , Alright , fine Ill admit it .
When I saw those rumors on the trending page , I got jealous .
Though he knew Noelle would never cheat she didnt even fully understand love seeing the rumors and speculation had irked him .
Hed even canceled meetings to confront the so called other man .

She kissed him lightly on the lips , swinging her legs back and forth , and said with a grin .
Im so happy ! Youre jealous for me ! You really do care about me , dont you ! Seeing her joy , Nicolas felt a mix of helplessness and affection .
