Perhaps because Noelle looked so bewildered, Dylan couldn’t help but chuckle. Then, he lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her lips, like a dragonfly skimming water, fleeting and brief.
Afterward, he reached out and ruffled her hair. “Alright. Goon in.”
Noelle was still a bit dazed, but she didn’t say anything. She simply glanced at him before turning and getting out
of the car.

Craig was already waiting for her in the office. As soon as Noelle entered, the first thing he asked about Continental Reach project.
“I’m not entirely sure what went wrong, as I’ve only received a one–sided notification. But rest assured, Mr. Swanson. I will investigate thoroughly and provide you with a satisfactory answer,” Noelle replied in a very official tone.
After Craig stared at her, he said, “Did you not contact those from Amity Group?”
“Not for now, but I will…”
“This is the email I received just now. Have a look,” Craig cut her off and handed her the documents.
Noelle found it strange but still took the documents from him. When she saw the contents of the papers, her face paled.
It was her history,
It was a message from Amity Group. After listing Noelle’s credentials in detail, they stated bluntly that they couldn’t entrust such a significant project to her and requested that Elm Group appoint a different person in charge.
“This project has been mine from the start,” Noelle said through gritted teeth. “I finalized and verified every step of the process. Now, they’re saying I don’t have enough experience and want to replace me. Isn’t that a joke?”
Although the project was something Hendrix had handed to her directly, all the proposals, internal design plans, and data analysis had been completed by her and her team.
She lacked experience, which was why she had to pour 200% of her effort into every part of the process. During that period, she worked overtime so much that she was only sleeping four or five hours a night.
She knew that everyone in the company believed she only got the project because of Hendrix. That was why she wanted to prove herself to everyone and to prove that Hendrix’s decision wasn’t wrong.
But now, all her effort and hopes had been crushed completely.
“I’m not convinced,” Noelle said through gritted teeth. “Why should they be allowed to replace me just because they want to? Even if they think I’m not up to the task, shouldn’t that be based on me actually making a mistake?
“Replacing me when I haven’t done anything wrong, what kind of joke is that?”
As she spoke, Noelle’s emotions grew increasingly intense,
In contrast, Craig remained much calmer.
He waited until Noelle had finished her outburst before speaking. “You’re not wrong, but the key point is that Amity Group is the client. They have absolute authority.
“And don’t you already know who made this decision? Can you guess why this project suddenly came to a halt? A

project of this scale may not matter much to Amity Group, but can we afford to let it drag on?”
As Craig’s last words fell, Noelle immediately fell silent. She parted her lips slightly, as though wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Craig continued, “But this might be for the best. Don’t worry. I’ll find someone to take over the project. Your name will still appear in the credits. And aren’t you busy preparing for your wedding? Just focus on that for now. We’ll deal with everything else later.”
