Hendrix glanced at the documents but didn't take them.
Puzzled by his reaction, Noelle asked, "Aren't you going to take a look at them?"
Hendrix's expression remained unchanged. "There's no rush. First, tell me about your plan."
"Oh, right. I've already inspected their factory. Currently, Ricky's brother-in-law is managing the factory, which has about 500 workers. The project deadline is set for 25 days, and if they have enough raw materials stocked up, they should be able to meet it.
"But the factory hasn't been performing well lately, and Ricky's brother-in-law is a notorious gambler. So, in reality, the factory's material reserves are practically nonexistent.
"In other words, they'll have to find another way to produce the required quantity in such a short time," Noelle spoke slowly, her voice as calm and gentle as ever.
Watching her, Hendrix found himself lost in her voice. For a brief moment, he even forgot why he had been so upset earlier.
It wasn't until Noelle finished speaking that she noticed his gaze. She immediately frowned and asked, "Are you even listening to me?"
"Yeah, I am," Hendrix replied. But then he suddenly reached out and took Noelle's hand. "So, how do you know they won't find a way?"
He asked as if he were serious, but at the same time, he was lightly tracing circles in her palm.
Feeling ticklish, Noelle tried to pull her hand back. But Hendrix tightened his grip, then looked at her with feigned confusion. "Why did you stop talking?"
Noelle had no choice but to suppress the ticklish sensation and continue, "Like I said earlier, Ricky's brother-in-law is a gambler—he's already sold off the factory's raw materials. Since he's not a blood relative, the Massey family will come down hard on him if they find out.

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👨👩👧...
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.

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...
