Chapter 221
“I can’t give you this project directly, but I can provide a fair chance for competition,” Hendrix said.
Noelle sneered. “What’s the condition?”
The moment she finished speaking, Hendrix laughed. His lips were arched, and even the smile in his eyes deepened, making him appear delighted.
“How do you know I have a condition?”
Noelle did not reply and just stared at him.
Hendrix quickly dropped his smile, and his fingers caressed the coffee cup in his hands. He said, “What Lana and I have are only scandals. It was done for a public stunt.”
Noelle didn’t know why he was explaining himself, so she frowned.
“The doctor said… my mother’s condition has improved. It’s very possible for her to wake up,” continued Hendrix. “For the previous matter…”
“Mr. Freeman,” Noelle cut him off. “Do you remember the things you’ve said to me in Dynalis? You said we are impossible.”
Hendrix remained silent.
“It might seem like I’m getting ahead of myself when I say this, but by what you meant just now… are you trying to get back with me?”
“No.” Hendrix put down the cup and looked at her.
Noelle let out a sigh of relief, but before she could say anything, Hendrix added, “I meant, you are not getting ahead of yourself. It’s true.”
His words stunned Noelle.
Hendrix remained on the same spot, staring at her with an intense gaze.
After staring at him for a moment, Noelle smiled. “Sorry, Mr. Freeman. I already have a boyfriend.”
Hendrix’s heart skipped a beat. Soon, he replied with a smile, “You’re telling me the man in your condo that day is your boyfriend? I know he’s your assistant, and he has a girlfriend…”
“Not him.” Noelle waved her hand.
Hendrix then noticed that she had a ring on her finger. It was a simple rose gold band.
“His name is Dylan Pritchett, and he’s a lecturer at a university. He’s currently abroad.”
Hendrix remained silent this time.
“Oh, speaking of this, I want to thank you. Remember the ticket you gave me for Mr. York’s private art exhibition?
Hendrix slowly frowned. Of course, he remembered it. But he clearly recalled that she threw it into a trashcan.
Also, he was frustrated at that period of time, so he didn’t attend the exhibition.
“We got to know each other from the exhibition. Hm… He’s also Mr. York’s grandson,” said Noelle. “So, I’d like to thank you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to know him.”
Noelle’s eyes narrowed as she spoke, as if she was recalling the happiness and sweetness of that moment.
After looking at her for a while, Hendrix smiled. “I don’t believe it. Noelle, you’re lying.”
“Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter.” Noelle withdrew her hand and continued, “We are genuinely seeking a partnership for the Continental Reach project. Of course, we won’t force you if you’re unwilling
“Speaking personally, I’d like to say one thing–no one will wait for you forever.”
