Chapter 2
El leaned in close to his younger sister Noelle and whispered. “Stay here. I’ll grab you something to eat.
But before she knew it, he vanished like a gust of wind and never came back.
Noelle looked around, but there was no sign of him. With nothing else to do, she decided to tidy up her room. Thanks to her past experience working in housekeeping, she moved quickly and efficiently.
The maids, hearing the sounds of things being moved around-“longs” and “clangs“-curiously gathered. They watched as Noelle, small and nimble, darted back and forth, moving furniture and boxes with ease.
“My god Miss Anderson, you’re actually cleaning up yourself?” one maid exclaimed, her voice full of disbelief
“Mary Noelle greeted with a bright smile, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. I was bored, so I figured I’d tidy up a line
“But those boxes look heavy!” another maid said, staring at the large boxes outside.
Normally, it took two grown men to move these things, but here was Noelle, a small girl, handling them like it was nothing.
“Oh, it’s fine. They’re pretty light, actually!” Noelle shrugged and easily lifted the top box to prove her point.
The maids stared in shock, mouths hanging open like they had just seen a miracle.
Holy crap, this girl is a freaking powerhouse! they thought
“My god! The room’s spotless!” One maid stepped inside and was completely stunned to see the once–messy storage area now gleaming clean. The Boor was so shiny, you could see your reflection.
The others crowded in, eyes wide, and confirmed it was cleaner than they’d ever seen it.
“Miss Anderson, how did you do all this?” the maids asked, their faces full of astonishment
These women were professionals, and it would have taken them hours to clean up such a mess. But Noelle? She’d done it in no time.
Noelle, noticing their wide–eyed expressions, placed her hands on her hips and proudly lifted her chin. “Heh, I used to work as a housekeeper, so I know how to clean fast and efficient.”
“Ob!” The maids immediately broke into applause.
When the Andersons returned home with Lela, they found a group of maids huddled together in a comer downstairs, whispering excitedly. They hadn’t even noticed the family had arrived
Vincent Anderson, the head of the family, frowned and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on here?”
“Ah! Mr. Anderson, you’re back!” The maids jumped, startled, and quickly scattered, rushing to greet the family.
“Is everyone just standing around? What the hell’s going on!” the eldest heir, Adriel Anderson, grumbled, his brow furrowed.
At that moment, the oldest maid stepped forward sheepishly and said. “Mr. Vincent Anderson, Mr. Adrick Anderson, we were learning fro
Anderson…
“What?” The family stared at her in confusion.
Just then, Noelle zipped out from behind the maids. Surrounded by the Andersons, she q quickly spotted Eli.
Miss
Grinning like a cat who’d just stolen the cream, she waved a cloth at him and called out, “Brother! Elit Finally caught up with you!” Her tone was casual, affectionate, and clearly close.
Immediately, every eye turned to Eli. Bennett Anderson, the second eldest, grinned mischievously. “Ols, Eli, didn’t take you long to get cozy with

Damon Anderson, the fourth eldest, glared at him. “Eli, have you

He spoke seriously to Noelle. “Noelle,
belle, as the heiress of the Anderson family, you need to take on the responsibilities and obligations that come with
Noelle Anderson tilted her head, clearly confused. “What responsibilities? What obligations!”
Vincent sighed and explained slowly. “The Anderson family and the Sawyer family made a marriage agreement a long time ago. When our family’s heiress comes of age, she has to marry the youngest heir of the Sawyer family. In short, you’re going to marry Nicolas Sawyer, the third young heir of the Sawyer family.”
“Oh!” Noelle finally understood, then asked, frowning, “But doesn’t marriage go in order? My sister’s older than me, shouldn’t she be the one?”
Vincent looked stern. “She’s not blood–related to the Anderson family. You, on the other hand, are my real daughter. This responsibility falls on
you
After hearing this. Noelle, though reluctant, had to admit her father made sense. She sighed and reluctantly nodded. “Fine, I’ll marry
As if afraid Noelle might suddenly change her mind. Vincent immediately reached out to the Sawyer family.
Soon, word came from the Sawyer family that Nicolas wanted to meet her first. Vincent agreed without hesitation.
The next day, Noelle was dropped off at the door of a luxurious villa, Nicolas’s private residence. After the Anderson family’s driver left, he disappeared quietly.
Just then, a man in a suit with gold–rimmed glasses, looking every bit like a secretary, approached her with a smile. Politely, he said to Noelle, “Miss Anderson, Mr. Nicolas Sawyer is waiting for you inside. Please follow me.”
“Thanks” Noelle nodded politely.
The man raised an eyebrow slightly, a flash of pity crossing his face. This girl seemed so innocent and naive–he couldn’t help but wonder if she could handle what was coming her way.
