After smashing the cake into Donovan's face, Noelle stared at his stunned

expression and said flatly, "The person who asked you to order that was Xenia, not me."

Donovan was livid. "Are you out of your mind? Even if I got it wrong, how could you just slap it into my face?"

Noelle, still smiling, replied, "Well, now you'll remember, won't you? Xenia's the one who likes that cake, not me. Honestly, you should be thanking me."

As a cab pulled up beside them, Noelle casually bent down and got in. Donovan yelled after her, "Noelle! Get out of the car-I still have questions! Did you call Mia to L Bistro on purpose that day?"
