"It's me," Noelle said.
"I know," Hendrix replied.
"Did you handle the situation with Ebony?"
Though she phrased it as a question, her tone said otherwise.
Hendrix paused on the other end before responding with a quiet, "Yes."
"Thank you for your help, but let's end it right here. There's no need to blacklist him."
"What's the matter? Are you feeling sorry for him?" Hendrix asked, a hint of mockery in his voice. "Why would you feel sorry for a man who threw you under the bus the moment things went wrong?"
Noelle naturally understood his implication but simply replied calmly, "If he had spoken up for me back then, it would've only made things worse. Besides, we were just colleagues, so he had no obligation to defend me. And it's not like he was the only one who stood by and did nothing, right?"
Hendrix was left momentarily speechless by her words.
Noelle didn't wait for his response and continued, "Regardless, I still appreciate what you've done. As for the rest, let's just forget about it. After all, it's my show—getting it aired benefits me, too.
"So, Mr. Freeman, could you please show some mercy? Cut us some slack, and let us move on, okay?"
"Noelle, do you have to talk like this?"
"How would you like me to talk, then? Should I kneel before you again?"
After Noelle finished speaking, the line fell silent on the other end.

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...
