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?"

He angrily grabbed the tissues his assistant had handed him and wiped at the

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."
