Hendrix's hand remained suspended in midair. When he realized Noelle had no intention of taking the keycard, he immediately frowned.
But Noelle acted as if she hadn't noticed and simply pulled out the documents she had prepared. "Rather than that, let's talk about the terms of our deal first."
Hendrix didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the papers in her hand.
"This is the surgery consent form. Please sign it," Noelle continued.
Last time, he had claimed he hadn't agreed to her terms, and she had no way to argue. So this time, she came prepared.
Hendrix was a businessman, and as a businessman, he valued tangible, signed documents above all else. In addition to the consent form, Noelle had prepared another contact—one outlining the nature of their… relationship.
It stated that she would fulfill Hendrix's need, but only during Rosie's recovery period. Once the surgery was successful and Rosie was fully healed, their relationship would end immediately, with no further ties.
The terms of the contract were simple and evenly straightforward. If such a document were leaked to the media, it could cause significant damage to both of their reputations.
But Noelle seemed completely indifferent. She had calmly placed her own body at the bargaining table.
Hendrix fixed his gaze on the clauses. He had finished reading those few lines of text long ago, but he gave no reaction or response. He simply sat there, expressionless, as he stared at the document.
"Mr. Freeman, do you have any questions?" Noelle asked.
It was only then that Hendrix looked up.
Noelle was watching him curiously, her demeanor professional. "Let me know if you want any changes made, and we can do it on the spot."

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...
