No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 574

Noelle nodded in response. She also felt that it would be better to explain everything clearly.

Raymond stood up after her and said, "Let's go there together then. I've also gotten a part-time job at the gym."

Noelle knew that Raymond came from an average family. Other than training at the base, he would usually be working part-time to earn for his living expenses. The two of them then headed to the gym across the campus.

Noelle put on a change of clothes and headed straight to the boxing area, only to find Raymond organizing the equipment there.

She was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"

"I work part-time here. I picked up some basics when I previously worked part-time at another gym, so the coach here asked me to teach some classes," Raymond replied.

He then noticed the pair of red boxing gloves in her hands and continued, "I know this brand. This must've been expensive!"

Red seemed to be the most popular color that year, and the boxing gloves sold out as soon as they were available on the market.

Noelle glanced at the boxing gloves. They were a gift from Cedric. Her expression turned stiff. "Since we're here, let's spar."

She had come to the gym on a whim and did not schedule a session with her coach.

Raymond guided Noelle through some warm-up stretches to relax her body before putting on boxing gloves to begin their sparring.

After they exchanged a few blows with each other, he paused and said, "You're way better than I am. How long have you been doing this?"

"About two months," Noelle replied.

"That means that you've got the talent for this! Not everyone can just pick up boxing. It's a sport that requires attention to a lot of details. It means that whoever was teaching you must be really good at it."

Noelle thought of Cedric, as he had been the one teaching her about boxing. Her expression turned relatively cold. "Let's continue."

At that moment, she was thinking only about Cedric and nothing else. During their spar, Noelle eventually became distracted and stopped paying attention to Raymond's movements. She ended up taking a punch from him.
