Noah glanced over at you with an expression of disbelief, though he kept it well hidden. His raised eyebrows seemed to indicate he was processing your words. Suddenly, he burst into laughter, shaking his head incredulously.

"This is absurd," he muttered, turning back to face you. As the CEO of Starlight Entertainment, the largest and most successful entertainment company, he was known for his relationships with his idols, particularly the female ones. However, since meeting you and overseeing your debut, he had favored you due to your stunning looks and your ability to follow instructions without complaint. In return, he had granted you special treatment compared to the other members of your group, and he indulged in his desires with you whenever he pleased.

"Like you? Do you honestly believe I'm being kind to you because I like you?" he asked, a smirk playing on his lips. "Sweetheart, this has been my approach for years. Just because I enjoy spending time with you doesn't mean there are any deeper feelings involved. Don't be so naive," he murmured, gently tilting your chin up with his hand as he peered into your eyes.
