No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1154

Noelle couldn't quite describe how she felt. She turned to Mia and said, "Ivy looks too much like Xenia, and that's why I've been on guard."

"I understand. It's fine."

After saying goodbye to Mia, Noelle turned to Cedric and asked, "You feel something's off, don't you?"

"Yeah. Everything about the car crash is too similar to the one that killed your parents."

If it had been someone else in the car, they might not have thought much of it, but it had to be Ivy.

Noelle nodded. "I knew you'd get what I meant."

Cedric took her hand and said, "Let's talk in the car. It's freezing out here."

It was only now that Noelle felt the sharp chill in the air. She bent down and got into the car with Cedric.

Once seated, she glanced at his injured hand and reminded him, "Be careful not to get it wet these next few days."

Cedric gave a casual grunt of acknowledgment and clearly did not take her words seriously.

She pressed on, "Don't just brush this off. If you can't remember, have the housekeepers remind you."

"I'm not used to having someone attend to me that closely."

Noelle wasn't sure how she should respond. Suddenly, Cedric turned his head to look at her and added, "Unless it's you."

Unless it was her?

Noelle understood the implication in his words and turned to look out the window. "I have to go back to school."

"Your classes are already over. You've got finals next week, then you're off for a break."

Noelle turned back to look at him suspiciously. "How do you know our schedule so well?"

Since they'd gotten up late that day, they'd waste more time going back and forth. Employees might be getting off work by the time Cedric got to the office.

With that, Hugo immediately drove in a different direction.

Cedric glanced at her and said, "This is the first time you're coming with me to work overtime. It might get boring."

"Boring is better than being run off your feet," Noelle said and was reminded of the busy time she worked at Maple Enterprise. Anyone who'd been through that stress would certainly be traumatized up until now.

Soon, the car arrived at Greene Corporation.

Noelle noticed quite a few people standing outside. It looked like they were waiting for Cedric.

Seeing that scene, Noelle suddenly didn't feel like getting out of the car anymore. But Cedric had stepped out and circled to her side to thoughtfully open the door for her.

All the executives craned their necks, hoping to catch a glimpse of the woman important enough to have their boss open the car door.
