No longer a pushover

Chapter 532

Noelle took the card and turned to Emma. "Thank you for vouching for me."

To become a member here, one needed more than just status. Someone had to guarantee them. It was thanks to Emma's backing that Noelle had been able to join.

Emma smiled. "It's nothing. Come on, let me show you around."

Laura spoke up. "Mrs. Greene, I'm afraid you'll have to return Noelle to me. We still have a meeting today."

"Oh, right. I almost forgot. I'll come along and listen in, then." Emma nodded.

"I'd love that." Laura took Emma's arm as they walked, discussing matters concerning both families. Their conversation was seamless, and their rapport was evident.

Noelle couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling of being an extra with Emma around. After all, Laura almost became Emma's daughter-in-law.

Before long, they arrived at a banquet hall.

As soon as Laura entered, someone approached. "Didn't you go pick someone up? What took so long? Who was important enough to make you fetch them personally ?"

"Noelle is here for the first time and wasn't a member, so I had to bring her in," Laura introduced Noelle.
