Chapter 1307
Moments later, Samuel knocked and entered, smiling politely and standing with respectful posture. “Ms. Hudson, Mr. Wall,” he said smoothly, “preparations for the World Designers Summit are nearly complete. The event begins tomorrow.”
Sadie’s eyes widened in sudden realization. Of course—it was Wall Group’s annual global conference. With so much upheaval in her life, she had completely forgotten. Shaking off her anxious thoughts, she managed a grateful smile. “Thank you, Samuel. I’ll be ready.”
Noah glanced back at the intricate files on the screen, then returned his gaze to Sadie’s tired eyes. Hardship had shaped her over the years, and he admired her all the more for her strength.
He stepped closer, wrapping her in his arms and holding her tightly. “Sadie, you’ve done a remarkable job with the company these past years,” he said, warmth filling his voice.
Sadie relaxed into his embrace, comforted by the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
Noah bent his head, brushing his nose against her hair and offering a gentle smile. “It looks like I’ll be depending on you from here on out, Ms.?Hudson.”
With a mischievous grin, Sadie pinched Noah’s arm in response to his teasing. “You really ought to be serious for once,” she said, though her laughter sparkled in her eyes.
Her amusement faded as a shadow of concern crossed her face, reopening an old worry. Lifting her gaze, she spoke softly, “Noah, about your memory…” The words slipped out before she could stop them, tinged with cautious hope.
Sensing the change in her mood, Noah pulled her closer, every trace of playfulness gone. His tone grew earnest as he met her eyes. “Sadie, you have nothing to fear. I’ll stay by your side. My memory is returning, little by little, and I won’t leave you behind again.”
Uncertainty lingered over how quickly his recovery would progress, but one thing was clear: he would not let her bear the burden alone. For a long moment, Sadie searched his steady gaze, seeing her own hope reflected there. Content, she nestled her head against his shoulder. That promise was all she needed.
On the morning of the World Designers Summit opening, Sadie and Noah arrived at the venue early. Every corner buzzed with excitement, laughter blending with the rich aroma of perfume to create a vibrant atmosphere. Renowned designers, prominent guests, and eager reporters filled the hall, lending the gathering an air of prestige.
Standing at the heart of it all, Sadie drew attention as both the leader of Wall Group and the face of the event’s organizing committee. Samuel hurried through the crowd to reach her. “Ms. Hudson, we’re almost ready. Please head backstage to prepare for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.”
A simple nod from Sadie showed she understood, and she turned toward Noah for reassurance. “I’ll head over now,” she said, her voice steady.
Your next journey starts at g?lnσνso
Noah offered her a soft nod, the warmth in his eyes unmistakable. Sadie followed Samuel as they headed backstage.
Noah drifted through the crowd, a glass of champagne in hand, exchanging polite nods and reserved smiles with acquaintances as he maintained his composure. Business etiquette came naturally to him, and his instincts for networking remained sharp even when his memory faltered.
