399 Owing a favor

Noah did not have to wait for long as Martin left after a few minutes of talking with Jonathan. Nobody was in the garden except the two men, and Noah sat beside his grandfather silently, waiting for the older man to speak first. 

Jonathan ran his hand on the handle of his cane, while he glanced at Noah only to find him staring at him already, his eyes filled with questions and doubts. Noah raised his eyebrows, prompting him to speak. "Noah, I know I should not have hidden this matter from you when you are in charge of the company now. But I did not have the courage to tell you either. I am at fault here and you can.."

"Grandpa, I am not here to blame you for what you did." Noah stopped him before the man could utter another word. "I just want to know why you offered her the job when you clearly knew that is not how we work. Moreover, the girl's father is working with my rival. So, I was just stunned to find out the truth."
