Chapter 1031
In a particular Italean restaurant.
Every plain-colored table had a delicate vase placed on the surface, and a champagne-colored rose sat quietly in every
vase.
The candlelight flickered.
’Thank you for coming to see me." Noah bit her lip.
The soothing music did not seem to help enlighten her heavy heart. She called upon the waiter and ordered two bottles
of red wine, then poured a glass for Edwin and one for herself. "Mind drinking with me?”
Edwin glanced at Noah casually. What irony, he noted, that he no longer shared her emotions no matter how sad she
looked. Needless to say, Noah's emotions did not affect him anymore.
"Noah, after much consideration, I decided not to employ you anymore. I'll ask the finance department to reimburse your
loss," stated Edwin indifferently.

she knew Edwin was willing to see her disappeared into thin air.
A moment ago, she even thought Edwin was not really that heartless to her, yet in just the blink of an eye, he
shattered her hope.
’Why?" she asked anxiously. "Did I do anything wrong? It's not too long since I just started working in the company.
There're a lot of things I'm still new to, sure, but I believe I can do better in the future!"
Edwin bent his fingers and tapped on the table. “You know I'm not firing you because of your capabilities at work."
She stayed silent for a moment before she understood the real situation. ’ Is it because of Miss Winters? Did she
misunderstand US when we were in the hospital the other day? Did she force you to fire me?"
Edwin's eyes squinted at this. "It's not because of her. I just don't want to mix work with my private matters."
Noah looked at him, and her gaze faltered amid her heartache when all of a sudden, she laughed dryly. "I did an
investigation on you before. Over the last five years, you've had countless girlfriends. Every time you change
girlfriends, you'd splurge lots of money on them. Even invest and sponsor a movie for them to star in to make them
famous. What makes you think you're mixing work with private matters when it comes to me? I'm just working in
your company..."
As she talked, she even tried to reach out to Edwin's hand, wanting to press his palm against her chest. "You can't
forget me, can you? You can't let go of our tragic ending and are afraid that it'll affect your marriage with Joanne, is
it? Edwin, I'm really sorry. I was wrong. The reason I come back now is that I want to be with you again... Feel my
heart. I've been missing you all this while."
Edwin's steely gaze flashed with a hint of disgust as he sharply pulled back his hand. Noah, I always thought you
were a smart woman. As a smart woman, you should know that you should place your attention on other men!"
"But I just can't forget you. What can I do?" Her heart hardened with indignance and dissatisfaction.
Edwin ignored her teary eyes as he heartlessly replied, "There are plenty of women who love me. Do you think I
have the responsibility to react to everyone?"
"You're lumping me with those women?" Noah felt insulted.
"I'm done. You can go back to the office next week to settle your resignation procedure," concluded Edwin.

Noah noted that it was a reminder when she glanced at the screen. The moment she read it, however, it felt as though a
knife was plunged into her heart.
[11:00 p.m. Pick up wife from the set.]
'Edwin set a reminder...to pick up Joanne?' she thought.
Over the last five years, he had countless girlfriends that Noah had lost count even with the help of her toes. Instead of
remembering these women's names, what presents he gave, and their birthdays, it was the job of his personal assistant
to record them. He was only responsible for talking and flirting with those women.
'Does this mean Joanne is special to him?' she thought.
She felt as though she got cheated.
It reminded her of Joanne's innocent expression when they were in the hospital. It did not look like Joanne did not care
about Edwin, but Joanne must have thought she was the only one in Edwin's heart and that no one else could steal him
away from her.
That was why she pretended to be generous toward her and acted nonchalantly!
