No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 691

After stepping outside, Noelle turned around slightly and glanced at Cedric. He lowered his head and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Her eyes carried a hint of amusement. "Is that how you usually talk to them?

His tone was as calm as ever. "What's wrong with how I talk to them? I was just telling them the truth. It's not their place to say anything about it."

She stared at him and replied, "But Mrs. Merlock is your mother's close friend, no? Aren't you worried that Mrs. Greene will give you trouble for it later?"

"Are you worried about me?" he asked.

Noelle looked away immediately. "Why would I worry about you? It's none of my business."

After getting back into the car, Cedric remained on the phone as he switched seamlessly between multiple foreign languages.

Noelle listened quietly from the side. When he finally hung up, she said, "You're going on a business trip?"

"How did you know?" Cedric asked.

She replied honestly. "I heard you mention it during the call. You were speaking loudly, so I couldn't help but hear it."

She then looked out the window and continued, "We've arrived. You should get some rest early."

As she opened the door and stepped out of the car, Cedric called out to her and said, "Take this."

A bag appeared in her hands. She took a look at it and recognized it to be from a luxury brand. He explained, "There's also some scar removal cream inside."

Noelle wanted to say something in return, but he had already left. Then, she removed the item from the bag and saw that it was a limited edition black and gold Chanel handbag. She could not help but chuckle as she carried the bag back to her dormitory.

But just as she left, someone hiding in the corner had raised up their phone and snapped a picture, capturing the moment she stepped out of a luxury car and received a gift. It was great material for the news.

Back at the dorm, Noelle placed the bag on the table and said, "I won't be back here tonight. I'm going back to the Liddell residence."

Mia looked up at her and replied, "You're going back to watch the show, right? I heard that Aunt Salena had arranged to meet up with Mr. Greene tonight."
