Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5616

"If she’s in love with Mr. Laurence, she can confess to him directly. Why does she want to see me? I'm not going to help her pursue him."

Noelle said coldly, "Turn her away. I'm busy."

Then, after thinking it over, she changed her mind. "Actually, never mind. I'll see her myself."

The visitor was Jolie Dorsey. The Dorsey family was a minor wealthy family in Havenmill, nowhere near the level of an elite family like the Longbottoms.

Noelle, however, changed her mind because she remembered that Jolie was one of Roxy's close friends. The Dorsey family had previously done business with the Longbottoms, and it was Dorsey's persistent efforts to curry favor with Roxy that had secured those business opportunities for her family.

So Jolie was interested in Laurence?

Noelle was skeptical. She suspected Roxy had deliberately arranged for her friend to pursue Laurence just to make things difficult for Noelle. If Jolie managed to win him over, that would be ideal, but even if she failed, she could still make Noelle miserable.

A few minutes later, the receptionist led Noelle to the VIP lounge on the first floor.

Jolie was sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone. When she heard footsteps, she looked up. Yet, she remained seated even as the receptionist ushered Noelle in with a respectful expression.

"Ms. Noelle, this is Ms. Dorsey. She's been waiting here for quite a while, insisting on meeting you. We were at our wits' end dealing with her, so we had no choice but to trouble you."

Ever since Laurence took over Longbottom Corporation, the employees had started calling Noelle 'Ms. Noelle', following the way some of Laurence's bodyguards addressed her. They felt it suited her perfectly.

Jolie shot Noelle a provocative look. She did not stand or even offer a polite greeting, as if she were the one granting Noelle an audience.

To her, she was a wealthy young heiress, while Noelle was nothing more than Laurence's bodyguard.

Even if everyone knew Laurence was in love with Noelle and that she would eventually become the matriarch of the Longbottom family, that was still in the future. At present, Noelle was not the family matriarch; she was just a bodyguard.

Noelle sat down across from Jolie, asked the receptionist for a glass of water, and then dismissed her.

Once the two women were alone in the VIP lounge, Noelle leaned back against the sofa. Her sharp gaze swept over Jolie, her expression icy.
