No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 212

Since Donovan had taken Xenia to the hospital, there was no one left with Mr. Greene. This presented the perfect opportunity for her.

As Noelle quietly peeked outside, Cedric interrupted, "What are you looking at?"

"Shh, keep your voice down," she whispered. She pulled Cedric's hand and stepped carefully behind a vase.

Cedric stood beside her, glancing at the bodyguards hidden in the shadows and shaking his head.

Noelle lowered her voice and asked, "Don't you know Mr. Greene is dining in that private room?"

Cedric's expression remained calm. "And?"

Noelle turned to him, feeling slightly frustrated. "Alfred called you, didn't he? Didn't he mention why you're here? This is a rare opportunity."

"A rare opportunity for what?" Cedric asked.

Noelle said matter-of-factly, "To discuss investments with Mr. Greene. I can't let the Liddell family get ahead of us."

Cedric smiled. "Don't worry. Greene Corporation will invest in your company."

"You're confident? Have you already met with Mr. Greene?" Noelle asked, raising an eyebrow.

Cedric cleared his throat, feeling a little uneasy. "Yes, I've already met him."

"How did it go?" she asked.

"It went well," Cedric replied casually.

"I heard Mr. Greene is tough to deal with. I didn't expect you to secure an agreement so quickly," Noelle remarked.

Cedric frowned slightly. "Who told you that?"

"Everyone says he's difficult. I saw him earlier," she said.

Cedric's heart skipped a beat. He watched her closely, sensing something wasn't quite right. "Did you get a good look at him?"

It didn't add up. If Noelle had recognized him, her behavior would be different.
