Chapter 980
It was not the woman's beauty that attracted Edwin.
This lady, Noah Sinclair, was his first love.
Due to Edwin's parents' tumultuous marriage, Edwin used to be rebellious when he was in his early
twenties. To run from the quarrels of his parents, he went abroad to study alone.
While abroad, he met Noah.
She, too, was an exchange student, and they spent wonderful moments together while studying. Later,
Sylvie told Edwin to return to America, and he brought Noah with him.
He wanted to take her to meet her parents and marry her, but the moment Noah knew that he was the
grandson of Granny Atherton, she incessantly asked him for money. At that moment, he accepted this
due to his belief that men should earn money for their wives to spend.
Unfortunately, she crossed the line.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he came home on one fateful day, he stumbled upon Noah having sex with a man 20 years
older than her in the luxury suite he bought for her. According to Noah, she had no father growing up,
so she longed to be with an older man to taste the paternal love that she never had.
Since then, Edwin had never seen Noah again. He just heard that she went abroad again.
Five years have passed and the 26-year-old Noah lost her youthfulness, yet her charms only grew.
Edwin threw the resume into the trash can and dialed the HR department.
"Mister Atherton?" The HR manager answered the phone.
"What the hell is your HR department doing? I want a Celebrity Director familiar with the entire entertainment
industry, not a financial talent. Why is Noah's resume on my desk?" Edwin scolded unceremoniously.
The HR manager hurriedly explained, "Mister Atherton, although Miss Sinclair graduated as a finance major, she's
been in the entertainment industry abroad, and her resource network is very strong, so I think-"
"Tell her that she's been disqualified from the interview. Eclipse will not hire her!"
The HR manager was surprised. 'Noah is an outstanding woman. Why did Mister Atherton disqualify her for the job?
Does he know Miss Sinclair? Hmm...it can't be. Noah has been abroad and just returned to America recently...'
Without waiting for the HR manager to reason with him, Edwin hung up, got up, and went to smoke in front of the
floor-to-ceiling windows.
Looking far away into the distance, memories of himself with Noah suddenly flashed past his mind. He felt that he
did not love her very much at that time but was attracted by how endearingly naive she was at the time.
Nonetheless, it was undeniable that he still could not forgive her betrayal.
A few minutes later, the phone in his office rang again.
He quelled his annoyance, walked over, and pressed the answer button. ’ What's the matter?"
"Eddy, is that why you don't want to see me? Because of our past relationship?" It was not the expected employee's
voice but a female voice that he had not heard for years instead, which made Edwin blank out for a blip.
The woman continued, "I'm very suitable for the position of Celebrity Directorthat you're recruiting, and you know
that. You can't just reject me because of hating me. Why don't you give me a chance?"
Edwin waited for her to finish speaking before casually asking, "Who are you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe woman seemed to have expected that answer from Edwin. "So you've forgotten me? It's okay,
let's get to know each other again. My name is Noah. I'm twenty-six years old, a hundred-and-sixty-
five-centimeter tall, and weigh forty-five kilograms. I don't have any bad habits..."
"I'm busy. If you're applying for a job, please contact HR."
Edwin was about to hang up after finishing speaking when Noah quickly called out to him.
"Eddy, don't you want to know why I betrayed you back then?" she spoke, bringing up the one thing
that would surely make him listen.
This was like a thorn that stuck to his heart and was also the wedge between them.
After Noah finished speaking, she felt that Edwin's breathing was out of order. She smirked proudly on
the other end of the line.
Before returning to America, she had done her investigation and found out that although Edwin had
many celebrities as his exes, none of them stayed with him for more than a month.
She figured out that he still loved her secretly, and she was confident that she could return to his side
quickly.
