Chapter 283
Got it.”
When Hendrix heard the reply, he hung up and looked outside the window.
From the reflection, he could see his red cheek, and he touched it.
It was a little painful, but he had experienced something more painful than this. So for him, this was nothing.
Thinking of this while staring at the marks on his face, he suddenly laughed.
Amity Group and Elm Group quickly made their decisions, and the news about Julio taking over the Continental Reach project was soon made public within the company.
When the news broke, everyone was surprised.
Although Noelle was still the general manager of the Vinton City branch, those working in the branch office were all Julio’s old subordinates. At that point, what difference was there between Noelle and a lone soldier?
Noelle certainly didn’t want to just hand over her achievements like that.
But Hendrix had made up his mind to make things difficult for her, and as Craig had said, he was the client.
Continental Reach was such a large project, and all he was asking for was a change in project manager. Elm Group, as the other selected party, could only comply.
So, those files that Noelle had reviewed dozens of times, where she could even accurately recite a specific piece of data, were handed over to Julio.
Julio was still smiling. “Ms. Swanson, in business, we must stay grounded. Taking shortcuts may be easier, but once you make a wrong step, there’s no turning back, and you end up dressing someone else’s bride. Don’t you think that’s funny?”
Before Noelle could answer, Oliver was already clenching his jaw hard and was about to say something when she quickly pressed on his hand.”
Mr. Garcia, you’re not right for saying that. No matter what the Continental Reach project is still under Elm Group. In other words, whether you’re in charge or not, does it really matter? In the end, it’s all about increasing profits for our company, isn’t it?”
Noelle’s calm look surprised Julio, but he quickly smiled and said, “Yes. That’s great if you can see it that way. I am also anticipating the subsidiary from Vinton City to advance more under your leadership.”
Noelle simply smiled, “Alright. Let’s continue.”
Because of the large amount of documentation and the tight project schedule, they worked overtime over the next two days to complete the handover. By the time they finally finished, it was already the third night.
Noelle hadn’t had much sleep in the past few days, and neither had Oliver. She glanced at his weary appearance and suggested, “How about I treat you to a late–night snack?”
Oliver shook his head. “No need. I just want to go home and rest.”
“Okay.”
Since he said so, Noelle didn’t insist.

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...
