CHAPTER 575 SILLY FACE
Noah glanced over and caught sight of Natalia's somewhat familiar face.
"Who's she?" Elise didn't know her.
Madeline explained, "That's Natalia."
"She's the scientist you always talk about, right? The one who's amazing at what she does? If she were a man, you'd be married to her by now," Elise looked Natalia up and down, confirming that she was indeed attractive.
However, she said those words earlier on purpose for Noah to hear. After all, he's been acting like a Honey Bear, hogging Madeline's time and not even giving her a chance to meet him alone.
Noah's face darkened as he heard Elise's words.
"She's awake," Elise exclaimed before Noah could say anything.
Rubbing her head, Natalia sat up and her eyes lit up when she saw Madeline, "It was you who saved me?"
Elise couldn't help but jest, "There are three of us here. How do you know it was Maddie who saved you? Did you only see her and not us?"
Natalia admitted frankly, "Maddie is always the most eye-catching wherever she goes. I can always spot her at first glance. I'm sorry I didn't notice you earlier. Was it you who saved me?"
Elise glanced at Noah and said with a gloating tone, "It's not me, it's really Maddie who saved you. You two have great chemistry, haha."
"Since Ms. Law is fine, we'll be leaving now," Noah didn't even give Madeline a chance to speak, he just pulled her away.
Natalia stood up and wanted to follow, but Noah took Madeline and disappeared into the dance floor, instantly getting lost in the crowd.
Elise wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold, but before she could say anything to Natalia, a man grabbed her hand.
The man took her to the other side of the dance floor and asked her in a seductive tone, "Would you like to dance with me?"
Elise loved medieval knight costumes the most and agreed without hesitation. Following the man's lead, she danced gracefully in his arms.
Natalia, still standing at the edge of the dance floor, feeling lost and slightly dizzy.
Suddenly, a waiter approached her and said, "Ms. Law, please follow me."
"Who are you? And who sent you?" Natalia asked, with a guarded tone.
Just now, she had been given a glass of water by a waiter and then taken away by a strange man
when she felt weak all over.
If Madeline hadn't saved her in time, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her tonight.
"Mr. Quincy sent me. You look unwell and need some rest," the waiter said calmly.
Natalia followed the waiter to the lounge area, which looked almost like a five-star hotel, but she hesitated at the door.
"Ms. Law, Mr. Quincy asks that you take a break here," the waiter reminded her.
"And then?" Natalia's sharp gaze locked onto the waiter, but the waiter's eyes were clear and gave no hint of any sinister motives.
However, both times Natalia had encountered Madeline, Noah had shown a clear aversion towards her. Would he really go out of his way to arrange for her to rest here?
"So, Ms. Law will be able to take care of the mastermind who wanted to harm you yourself," the waiter replied.
"Are you saying that Mr. Quincy will help me catch the man who tried to harm me earlier?" Natalia asked.
"As long as Ms. Law doesn't interfere with Mrs. Quincy, everything will be fine," the waiter raised his head, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Natalia let out a light chuckle as she entered the room and said to the waiter, "Please convey myNôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
thanks to Mr. Quincy and tell him that Mrs. Quincy and I will become good friends, and I hope Mr. Quincy will take good care of us in the future as well."
The waiter nodded and left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Natalia collapsed onto the bed in exhaustion.
Madeline, feeling annoyed, pushed Noah after he dragged her onto the dance floor. "You left Natalia alone there, it's too dangerous. She must have been drugged by someone."
"I was drugged too," Noah held her waist tightly and didn't stay on the dance floor, instead, he went straight through the crowd and headed for an elevator.
During the ordeal, anyone who tried to approach Madeline was scared away by Noah's icy glare.
Once they entered the elevator, the whole world seemed to quiet down. Noah let out a sigh of relief and rubbed his forehead.
Seeing him like this, Madeline immediately felt a pang of guilt and regret bringing him here tonight.
Noah had never liked this noisy environment, and with the recent workload, he was probably even more averse to it.
"Are you okay? Did someone drug you? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Madeline asked cautiously, placing her hand on his forehead to check for a fever.
Noah took hold of her fingertips, placed them against his lips, and kissed them before saying with a
smile, "I was drugged, but there's only one person who can cure me."
"Really?" Madeline widened her eyes and couldn't help but glance down at Noah's lower body. She was really worried that he might be exhausted.
Noah frowned and lowered his head to kiss her eyelids. What was that look she just gave him? Did she doubt him?
Well, he had to prove himself.
"Okay, you caught me again!" Madeline checked his body temperature carefully, but there was no sign of fever, and he didn't blush like Natalia did, which meant he was lying.
Noah picked her up and carried her horizontally. The elevator door dinged and opened to a glass terrace, about fifty square meters, with tastefully arranged flowers, some food and wine, and elegant music playing. Standing there, they could see everything happening in the dance floor below.
Furthermore, they could also see half of Imperia's nighttime view.
"Will the people below see us?" Madeline was grateful that she had changed into leather pants; otherwise, if someone looked up, she would have been exposed.
Noah had already thought of this, and he pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "The people below can't see anything."
Madeline finally felt at ease and strode towards the railing to enjoy the refreshing breeze caressing her cheeks.
She then took a seat and looked around for Natalia, while Noah sat next to her and poured her a glass of red wine. "I had the staff send her to rest," he said.
"As per her personality, she definitely wouldn't just stay in the room obediently. She will definitely go and investigate who harmed her," Madeline speculated.
Noah handed her the wine glass and fed her a sip.
Madeline's eyes lit up, "This is delicious."
"Thank you for the compliment," Noah said, feeling proud as he took a sip of wine and savored it.
Madeline stared at him and her smile grew wider. "You made it yourself?"
Noah nodded. Madeline then got up and sat on his lap, hugged his neck, and kissed his forehead. "What other surprises do you have that I don't know about, my princess?"
"Princess?" Noah raised an eyebrow, not quite satisfied with the title.
"Princess doesn't quite do you justice, how about my queen?" Madeline suddenly remembered Noah's resemblance to a queen in some palace drama, kneeling on the ground and exclaiming "I cannot do it, your highness!" With that, she almost spurted out the red wine, choking herself in the process.
Noah gently patted her back. "Don't you understand the principle of not drinking too much good wine?"
Madeline finally caught her breath and spoke with a voice like a kitten's meow: "No, I can't help but laugh when I see your face now."
