The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 358 Chapter 358

Hendrix initially planned to drop Noelle off at Nivis Villa. However, for some reason, he changed his mind and took her to the company instead.

This wasn't Noelle's first time at Amity Group, but it was the first time she'd walked into the building hand in hand with Hendrix.

This bold gesture of his naturally drew attention. Nearly everyone they passed turned to look at them. But because of Hendrix's status, no one dared to stare openly. Instead, those furtive glances inevitably landed on Noelle.

Feeling discomfited by their gazes, Noelle instinctively tried to pull her hand away. But Hendrix seemed intent on challenging her. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became.

Noelle knew she couldn't keep struggling with him, not when they were out in public. Thus, she had no choice but to give up, choosing instead to ignore the stares and follow him quietly into his office.

Hendrix's excuse to Beatrice about being busy wasn't just a pretext. After being away on a business trip for several days, his workload had piled up. The moment he returned to the office, it was an endless strearn of meetings.

Struggling with jet lag, Noelle couldn't hold out for long after sitting in the office for only a short while. Hendrix wasn't back yet, and since he was the one who had insisted on dragging her there in the first place, she decided to unapologetically stretch out on the couch to take a nap.
