Chapter 105

As Noelle looked at Cedric, she felt a sudden warmth spread across her face. She quickly stammered, "Sir, you misunderstood. He's not my boyfriend."

The barbecue shop owner chuckled. "I know. You young folks always say that, but he's quite handsome."

Noelle blushed and quickly returned to her seat. Cedric looked up and asked, "What did he say?"

"Nothing," she replied, then quickly changed the subject, "Would you like to have something?"

"I'm not hungry," Cedric said.

He wasn't particularly fond of this kind of food. He noticed the owner had brought a plate of appetizers and two cans of beer. He frowned at Noelle. "You shouldn't drink beer. It's not good for you." Noelle felt a little annoyed. "I'm an adult now, why can't I?"

After finally signing with Firestorm Entertainment, she felt financially independent and had her own income. Why couldn't she celebrate?

Cedric took the beer from in front of her and placed it in front of himself. "No."

Noelle felt a little frustrated. Just then, Cedric's phone rang, and he stood up, saying, "I need to take this call."
