No longer a pushover

Chapter 373

Noelle watched his face close the distance. Her head had gone blank. Suddenly, they heard voices outside. The two of them then came to their senses. Noelle extracted herself from his arms and left without looking back.

Cedric stood in place. His eyes were dark as he lifted a hand to touch his lips. He had to admit that there were some things which were out of his control. His desire was to get close to her, hug her, and kiss her.

He leaned against the wall and massaged his shoulder. Instinctively, he pulled a cigarette out and lit it.

Noelle ran out. She stood outside and rubbed her face. In the mirror, she could see how flushed her face was. She walked over and splashed cold water on her face. After calming herself down for a while more, she left the toilet.

She couldn't help but watch the fire escape. Had Cedric left? Noelle didn't walk over to confirm it and went back to her office.

When she walked into the meeting room, everyone was present.

Alfred sat in the center. Upon seeing Noelle return, he raised a brow. Why was she back this fast? Her face seemed a little flushed. How was Cedric consoling her? Noelle was silent and said nothing.

Alfred said, "Since everyone is here, let's begin."
