Chapter 129
Hendrix’s words stunned Noelle.
And he glanced at her suddenly.
That look made Noelle tense up instantly. It was as if she were eagerly trying to get involved with him in some
way.
Noelle bit her lip and was about to say something, but Hendrix spoke first, “I just don’t want you getting too close to Brandon. Now that Sandra is engaged to Maxwell, I don’t want to become fodder for their gossip or used for publicity. Do you understand?”
His analysis remained calm and collected.
Noelle wanted to say something else, but Hendrix quickly made the decision for her. “This is how it’s going to be Keep this business card, and if you need anything while you’re here, just contact her.
“Noelle, I only have one request for you right now. Don’t cause me any trouble. Understood?
When Jennifer called, Noelle was on the hotel bed.
“Ms. Swanson, hello.” Jennifer’s voice was soft and alluring “I’m Jennifer Weber, the guide Mr. Freeman arranged for you. I was wondering if you have any plans for tonight. If not, I can take you out to dinner now.
“No. I want to rest.”
“You said the same thing this afternoon,” Jennifer said with a laugh. “Ms. Swanson, I’m your guide. If you don’t let me do anything, I’ll feel like I’m failing at my job. I can’t really explain that to Mr. Freeman, either.”
Noelle bit her lip, then finally said, “Okay. Could you please bring me some painkillers?”
“Oh? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Menstrual cramps. Does that count?”
The phone was quickly hung up, and Noelle lay back down on the bed.
The room she was in now had been arranged by Hendrix.
They had changed to another hotel, a luxurious suite with a large bed. Standing by the window, she could take in the entire view of Sintrun.
However, Noelle had no mood to admire it. She lay on the bed for a while, and soon, Jennifer arrived.
Apart from some painkillers, she got soup as well.
“Sorry. I don’t know about your body conditions. What if I sleep here for the night? Then, I can take good care of you,” said Jennifer.
“It’s fine.” Noelle shook her hand. “I just have some stomach problems. Don’t need to be so worried.”
“It’s not me who’s worried,” Jennifer said with a laugh. “I’m just an employee, so of course, I have to help Mr. Freeman out.”
Her words caught Noelle off guard for a moment. Then, she let out a soft laugh. “You’ve got it wrong. Between him and me.”

“I know that you’re his ex–wife,” Jennifer interrupted her with a bright smile. “And that’s what makes it all the more special. I’ve never seen anyone take such good care of their ex–wife before.”
“He’s only worried that me being with someone else might damage his reputation. That’s all.”
After Noelle finished speaking, Jennifer didn’t argue further. She only gave Noelle a meaningful smile.
Noelle frowned. She wanted to say something, but before she could, Jennifer had already spoken.
Jennifer said, “Mr. Freeman is such a proud man. He probably can’t accept the idea of his marriage ending in failure, can he?
“And for someone in his position, if he wanted to win you back, he’d definitely come up with a whole bunch of excuses. Reputation? Please, you’re already divorced. He’s still the general manager of Amity Group. Who could possibly say anything that would affect him?”
