Chapter 126

A slight blush crept onto Noelle’s cheeks as she turned to Charles, feeling somewhat embarrassedas she said, “Girls usually have a thing for the domineering types!”

When she saw the slight look of disbelief on Charles‘ face, she bit down on her lip and added, “I’mserious, but this movie is stretching things out a little too far. If such domineering CEOs actuallyexisted in the real world, I think it’d be easier for their presence to be accepted if they aren’t the bestin everything!”

“Mm–hmm!” Charles said as he raised an eyebrow. He did not retaliate but did not add on anythingelse either.

Noelle felt somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly turned to watch the movie playing on the screenonce again. However, she could not get over the fact that Charles was holding her left hand, andshe could feel her heart racing.

Noelle whispered, “Um… My palm is sweaty.”

When Charles heard that, he gave Noelle a long, knowing look before he unfurled her fingers,placed her palm flat against his thigh, and wiped it on the legs of his pants.

Noelle was speechless..

“How am I supposed to eat when you’re doing that?” Noelle added, “Charles, can you not be so“Before she could say the word “childish“, Charles used his other hand to grab a handful of popcornand brought it toward Noelle’s mouth.

Noelle widened her eyes as she stared at Charles in disbelief. She had no idea what was goingthrough the mind of the man beside her.

“Swallow it!” Charles‘ deep, sonorous voice was extremely pleasant to listen to. In fact, it soundedeven better than the voice of the movie’s male lead.

Noelle recalled how Rowena and Teresa had talked about voice actors revered in the entertainmentindustry for having pleasant voices, to the point where just listening to them talk was enough tomake one swoon.

Noelle had used to think that was ridiculous, but now, as she gazed at Charles and listened to himtalk, it felt like that statement was not as ridiculous as it once seemed.

“Why are you looking at me?” Charles chuckled. “Didn’t you say you wanted popcorn? Are youdumbfounded?”

Noelle hurriedly swallowed the popcorn. Her mouth felt dry, and Charles‘ slender arm immediatelyreached over to hand Noelle her soda.

Noelle’s eyes widened, and she did not move for a whole second. Charles said patiently,” Havesome soda so you don’t choke, but don’t drink too much in one go.”

Noelle instinctively opened her mouth to sip some soda before she realized how odd they

must look.

Right then, she heard a woman sitting behind them say, “Look at how wonderful her boyfriend. is.Not only is he accompanying his girlfriend to watch a movie, but he’s also giving her food anddrinks.

“And look at you! You made up all sorts of excuses when I asked you to watch a movie with me, andnow that we’re here, you’re napping!”

“Well, why don’t you date him instead if he’s so wonderful?”

“You…”

Noelle did not know what to say. She turned sideways to glance behind her and determine wherethe couple was seated before she turned to Charles and pointed to herself as she asked, “Is shetalking about us?”

“Do we not look like a couple?” Charles asked in reply. Chuckling, he asked again, “Do you wantany more popcorn?”

Noelle said, “That’s not the point, alright? The point is that we’re being observed.” Noelle feltsomewhat upset because she felt awkward being observed in public and even more awkward atbeing used as an example.

Charles did not seem to mind, though. “It just means we’re different. Have some popcorn!7 Charlesused his fingers to scoop up some popcorn. Noelle could not help but think to herself that God haddefinitely been playing favorites when he was creating humans.

Charles was a wonderful man with handsome features, a good–looking physique, and definedfingers. Those fingers were always a joy to look at, no matter whether they were holding pen andpaper or popcorn.
