Millionaire's Heart: Chapter 11: Talk Of The Town
Chapter 11: Talk Of The Town

Lia stared in shock at the news article, reporting the secret love affair between Bianca and Noah being the reason for the recent partnership. She scrolled to the bottom to see a photo of Noah holding Bianca by the waist as they entered Bianca's hotel. The caption under the photo says that Noah and Bianca were seen going into the same hotel room after the banquet.

Lia: I can't believe this. I feel so betrayed by Noah. How could he do this to me. I don't want to believe it, but it's hard to ignore this picture of them in the hotel dressed in their clothes from last night!

She jumped when her phone suddenly buzzed. She glanced down to see another text from Clover.

She let him and sat on the sofa next to him.

Lia: So, is there something you want to tell me?

Noah sighed deeply, running a hand over his face before he looked up at her.

Noah: Lia, I know how bad this looks. Something unexpected happened last night that needed my attention. Afterwards, I helped Bianca to her hotel as a favor. But I left after I helped her to the room!

Lia: But .... the photo -!

Noah: That photo was total bullshit, it was waken out of context. Bianca slipped on the way into the hotel, I caught her so she wouldn't fall!

Lia: Well, what was the unexpected emergency that you had to deal with huh?

Noah sighed again, his face full of concer.

Noah: I wish I could tell you, honey. But I can't violate Bianca's privacy like that. I'll talk to her and make sure she's ok with me telling you. I don't want...
