Chapter 235
“What do you mean? Are you saying Noelle really got it by
“How else? Didn’t she use the same tricks to secure deals with Mr. Russo and the others before?”
“And Mr. Freeman doesn’t mind? Wait. Isn’t she Mr. Freeman’s ex–wife?”
“Seems like it. Maybe this time she played the sympathy card. Poor Mr. Freeman, still stuck dealing with a woman like her…”
The chatter abruptly stopped.
The one speaking the most enthusiastically suddenly caught sight of Noelle stepping out of the elevator.
Her face was expressionless, giving no clue as to how much she might have overheard. All they could do was awkwardly greet her.
Noelle gave them a polite nod and, with the confident click of her high heels, headed toward the director’s office, as though nothing had happened at all.
Noelle spent the entire day in the meeting room. Due to the cold air conditioning, her throat became a little painful again.
When she went back to Galaxy Grove, it was already late at night.
Dylan wasn’t around, but she didn’t call him. Instead, she lay on the couch and closed her eyes.
She didn’t know how long she had slept. When she woke up she was still alone.
Given Noelle’s understanding of Dylan’s routine, she hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to call him.
“I’m at the lab at school,” he said. “Lneed to adjust some data.”
“Alright. Take your time,” she replied.
“Hmm, your voice sounds a bit hoarse. Are you still not feeling well?”
“I’m fine. Just don’t overwork yourself.”
“Okay,” Dylan responded with a smile and ended the call, his gaze shifting to the person in front of him.
Hendrix was toying with his wine glass, swirling its contents slowly. The orange liquid splashed against the ice cubes, and the tingling sensation was felt as it passed his lips.
Dylan took a sip but felt uncomfortable and put the glass down, while the man beside him had already drunk several cups.
After hearing him hang up the phone, Hendrix chuckled lightly and said, “You seem to be quite good at lying to her. This definitely isn’t the first time, right?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
