No longer a pushover

Noelle stood up and took off her boxing gloves. "If anyone's giving you a hard time because of me. Just tell me, okay?"

Cedric unexpectedly felt protected by someone. He took her gloves and smiled. "Alright, I'll ask you for help if I have to."

Noelle finally headed to the changing room to change her clothes. Cedric looked at her red boxing gloves and lowered his head to kiss them. His expression became twisted from a mix of emotions.

He was afraid of saying it out loud. He was afraid of her looking at him with hatred in her eyes. And so, he could not do it.

When Noelle came out from the changing room, she saw that Cedric was no longer waiting for her at their usual spot.

As she was about to take out her phone to give him a call, she saw that he had left her a message. "Something just came up at the company, so I had to leave right away. I left some stuff at the front desk for you."

So, he had already left.

Noelle headed to the front desk and saw a bag containing a large box of sushi. Although she did not have much of an appetite, she could still enjoy some sushi.

She lowered her head and sent a reply to Cedric. "I picked up the food. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"

On her way back to university, Noelle wondered if Cedric was working overtime because of the Al project. When she arrived back at her dorm, she overheard Grace's anxious voice.

"Are you okay, Micah? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Noelle saw Micah collapsing to the floor, so she rushed forward to catch and support her. Grace's physique was too small to support Micah alone.
