Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4 - PURSUE HER

‎Back at Stars Bank intl.

‎"Gather round everyone,I have an important message to pass to you all." the manager said signaling them to listen to him.

‎They all paid attention to him and stopped what they were doing.

‎"I have been observing everyone lately and seeing who is more hardworking and doesn't slack off during working hours." The manager said and his gazed was on Noah for a few seconds before continuing with his sentence.

‎Noah had a complicated look on his face and wondered why the Manager looked at him like that.

‎Was he trying to say he slacks off during working hours?

‎Or....

‎He wasn't hardworking? Infact Noah was very hardworking, he works diligently and make sure there wasn't any complaints about him.

‎He works hard to be promoted so his pay would increase but it seems the manager hasn't been seeing his efforts.

‎Noah had a bad feeling of what the Manager was going to say next.

‎And he felt something was amiss, the way he talks sounded like he was trying to point out that some people weren't taking their job seriously.

‎He looked at him directly and that answered Noah's questions, he was referring to him.

‎He was been working at Stars Bank for 5 years and the director never mentioned him. This made him very sad, the manager probably has favorites and he wasn't among them.

‎"Well, you all know how hardworking Mr Ben has been hardworking and putting the company's affairs before his. He deserves a promotion, am I right?" The manager seemed very happy to announce this.

‎Everyone were stunned!

‎Especially Noah, He didn't expect that the Manager wouldn't notice his efforts. He was utterly shocked and didn't know how to react.

‎He looked towards Mr Ben and saw his lips curved into a smile but it was quick and not everyone would notice.

‎But Noah managed to see right through him.

‎ There was definitely something going on.

‎ 

‎Despite having a lot to say, everyone cheered and said kind words towards Mr Ben.

‎Even though he wasn't capable and rather lazy at work, they couldn't voice out their opinions.

‎After it was settled, Mr Ben was promoted to a higher level and Noah was very sad about it.

‎That should have been me...

‎He didn't show it that he was upset,he knew there was nothing he could do about it so he gave up the idea of meeting with the manager later.

‎After work he called Laura and asked if she needed him to pick her up where she was.

‎He didn't bother asking her how the interview went, they would talk about it when they get home.

‎But she declined and said she would be fine own her own.

‎Emily was with her and wanted to chat with her for a while.

‎Upon hearing Emily's name,his expression turned gloomy and became even more sad.

‎After Laura said she would find her way, he didn't ask anything else and ended the call.

‎He was in deep thoughts for a while.

‎He really likes Emily and has kept it with him for all this years.

‎He felt he wasn't good enough for her and doesn't want her to suffer with him.

‎He wanted to work hard to take care of his family and his woman.

‎Noah decided to keep it buried in him until he became very successful to pursue her.

‎I think that's the best decision for now,I will work hard and pursue her.

‎No one knows about his feelings for Emily not even his own sister.

‎Laura would definitely support him if he told her but he wasn't ready to.

‎"Goodbye mister." Few of the workers greeted him when they saw him leaving.

‎He smiled and bowed slightly to return their kind gesture.

‎.....

‎"Who called you now?" Emily asked casually.

‎"Oh it was my brother Noah,he wanted to pick me up but I want to spend more time with you." Laura explained.

‎Emily didn't reply immediately, she was in deep thoughts for a while.

‎Laura saw that her expression changed and asked worriedly," Are you okay? I'm not leaving soon so don't worry "

‎She thought Emily was already missing her and didn't want her to leave sooner.

‎Emily snapped out if it and smiled sweetly,"Of course baby,I'm not worried."

‎They both smiled and continued chatting.

‎The two ladies didn't seem to notice someone outside the restaurant who fixed his gaze on Laura the whole time but she didn't notice.

‎The strange man in black made a call and said in a low tone,"In a restaurant sir, anything else you want me to do."

‎The man on the other end finally spoke," No, wait for my orders."

‎"And keep your eyes on her." He added nonchalantly.
