Chapter 425
Olivia clearly hadn’t been trained for situations like this. When the man touched her, her expression immediately changed.
She immediately snapped her head around to glare at him. “What are you doing?
The man had only meant to touch her casually. For him, such behavior was second nature. But Olivia’s reaction caught him off guard.
He quickly chuckled coldly and said, “What are you talking about? What did I do?”
“I’m asking you what you did! You touched me just now! Everyone saw it!” Olivia replied through gritted teeth.
Hendrix had been talking to someone beside him, and it wasn’t until Olivia’s shrill voice rang out that he looked
Olivia just happened to sweep her gaze over him at that moment, but she quickly looked away. Her eyes became slightly reddened the next instant.
“I didn’t touch you.” The man’s smirk deepened. “You’re new here, aren’t you?”
So what if I am? I’ll have you know there are surveillance cameras in this room. All I have to do is check the footage to prove what you did.”
“You little bitch, you should be honored that I’m even willing to talk to you!”
As everyone in the private dining room turned to look at them, the man’s face flushed with embarrassment.
He stood up, ready to use his status to shut her down, when Hendrix suddenly asked, “What’s going on?” His voice was calm and indifferent. But given his status, the moment he spoke, the man’s anger was instantly subdued.
The others quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
Just then, the restaurant manager arrived.
Oliver, her eyes l red, had hoped the manager would stand up for her. But as soon as the manager entered, he began scolding her and dragged her over to apologize to the group.
Olivia, of course, refused.
In the end, the manager fired her on the spot.
The manager’s actions immediately placated the man, and with Hendrix watching from the side–clearly displeased–the man didn’t press the issue further.
Olivia was quickly escorted out.
Naturally, she was furious. But she didn’t have the guts to form back into the private dining room, so she waited in the hallway instead.
Initially, she planned to confront the man who had touched her. She knew the manager wouldn’t give her the surveillance footage, so reporting it to the police would be pointless.
So, she decided to take matters into her own hands. After all, she had already been fired, so what did she have to lose?
But instead of finding the man, she ran into Hendrix, who ad apparently stepped out to make a phone call.

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
