No longer a pushover

Chapter 567

Noelle stared at her own message with the urge to ask him for answers. Her heart felt as if it had been plunged into cold water, and in the end, she deleted the message in her drafts.

She tossed her phone aside and just stared at Cedric's message, ultimately not giving him a reply. At that moment, Noelle had no idea what to do.

Noon arrived in no time, and she received another message from Cedric. "Let's have lunch together. I brought you a gift from my business trip."

Noelle glanced at the message, but she did not feel like replying to anything. Not long after, her phone started ringing with a call from Cedric.

She did not answer the call, and he called again and again. Each attempt further caused her heart to sink into turmoil.

Grace turned to Noelle and asked, "Who's calling you, Noelle? Aren't you going to pick up the call?"

It was only then that Noelle picked up her phone and wrote a reply on WhatsApp. "I'm a bit busy right now. Let's talk some other time."

Cedric frowned upon reading her message. He felt that something was off about her reply. She had never acted like this before.

He wondered if she was really busy with her esports team.
