Chapter 242

Noelle felt that Charles was being too high-profile. "If you do this, everyone will know about ourrelationship by tomorrow!"

"Does that bother you?" Charles turned to look at Noelle.

His question caught her off guard, but she quickly shook her head. "It doesn't."

Charles was pleased by her answer. He reached out and patted her head, which caused a group ofonlookers to squeal in delight.

Yet, Charles' entire focus was on Noelle. "If you don't mind it, then it's fine. Don't worry, they won'tspread rumors," he said with a chuckle.

"How can you be so sure?" Noelle found it hard to believe. People loved gossiping, and somethingas significant as Charles holding hands with a woman would undoubtedly spread like wildfire.Everyone would be speculating about who she was and why she was with Charles.

Previously, Noelle wanted to keep their relationship private because she did not want others toknow about it. After all, back then, they did not have any genuine feelings for one another. Now,things were different. She felt their relationship was evolving.

However, she also knew that if people found out Charles had a girlfriend or wife, it would causequite a stir.

Seeing her concern, Charles gently squeezed her hands. "This is my company. I set the rules andregulations. If I can't control these things, how can I manage a conglomerate?"

Noelle was taken aback. A moment later, she understood the implications. "Alright. I guess myworries were unnecessary." She glanced around and noticed that high-level managers were alreadysending the onlookers back to their work.

She sighed in relief. "Seems like I truly was worrying for nothing."

Charles smirked. "Let's go. I'll introduce you to some people."

He then called Ronald. "Gather all department heads for a meeting in ten minutes."

Ronald was stunned for a moment until Charles' cold voice came through. "Didn't you hear me?"

"Yes, sir. I'll take care of it right away!" Ronald immediately hung up and notified all the seniormanagers at Royal Star Entertainment. He wondered to himself if Charles was planning to makeeverything official.

Could Noelle be taking over Royal Star Entertainment as the new boss, or was Charles justannouncing her identity as his wife?

This thought spurred Ronald into action without delay.

When the senior managers of Royal Star Entertainment received Ronald's notification, they wereequally stunned. Though they knew Charles was their ultimate boss, they rarely had the opportunityto see him in person.

Royal Star Entertainment might be a big deal in the entertainment industry, but it was small incomparison to the others within Charles' extensive portfolio of companies. He typically did notinvolve himself in the day-to-day operations.

When everyone gathered in the conference room, they saw Charles seated at the side with a youngwoman in the main seat. Most importantly, he was holding her hand. They were all astonished.

They could not hide their surprise, and some even recalled seeing Charles walking through thecompany earlier, holding hands with the same woman.

What exactly was the boss planning?
