Chapter 131

Noelle stood before Cedric, close enough that they were almost touching.

He avoided her gaze. "We're not together yet."

"So you're still in the flirting stage?"

He gave an ambiguous reply, "Something like that."

When she heard his admission, her heart sank. It was real.

Just a moment ago, she wondered if he was only saying that to reject Frank's attempt to set him up with a woman. She asked, "Is it the woman you met that time in the restaurant?"

She had once seen him dining with a woman at a restaurant. Although she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, she remembered that she was tall and probably very beautiful. Cedric's throat moved slightly. "I didn't expect you to be so nosy."

"I'm just curious. You just said you didn't have a girlfriend, and now there's news about you having one. Isn't it okay to ask?" Noelle's words felt insincere.

At that moment, Frank, having finished his checkup, wheeled himself out of the examination room, looking a little pale.
