No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 839

Noelle nodded, her heart pounding erratically. She glanced back out the window. "That scared me. I thought I was going to fall. Isn't this window a little too low?"

Although it did look nice, she felt it was too dangerous after the scare.

Cedric looked out the window. "I'll have someone fix it later."

His heart nearly stopped when Noelle fell. Luckily, she was okay.

"It definitely needs to be adjusted. At least, add some safety measures. It'd be bad if something really did happen."

When Noelle finally came back to her senses, she realized she was still clinging tightly to Cedric. The two of them were standing extremely close. She slowly released her grip and whispered, "Thank you for saving me."

Cedric flicked her on the forehead. "Can you stop making me worry all the time?"

"I didn't notice the window was like that." Noelle looked up and noticed a smudge of lipstick and foundation on his white shirt. She quickly tried to wipe it off. "Oh no, this is going to be hard to clean."

Cedric glanced down. "It's not a big deal."

"How about you take it off, and I'll wash it for you?" Noelle looked up and met his eyes. Up close, she noticed his irises had a hint of amber within.

He leaned down. "What are you looking at?"

"Your eyes. They're really beautiful." Noelle's gaze was fixed on his handsome face. She couldn't even hear the music playing in the restaurant anymore.

All she could feel was him. And her erratic heartbeat.

Cedric's gaze dropped to her lips. "You're beautiful today, too."

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her. Noelle instinctively tried to lean back, but he wrapped an arm firmly around her waist, holding her in place. His hand pressed against her back, not letting her move an inch.
