The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 708

Hendrix's voice was low, and when it came through the video call, it carried an extra layer of magnetism.

Noelle paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you been drinking?"

"How did you know?" Hendrix chuckled, then showed her where he was. "Look. The dinner's not over yet."

He was standing in a hallway, with classic oil paintings hanging on the walls. To the side was a slightly ajar private room door.

Noelle fell silent, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Don't worry. I'll be leaving soon," Hendrix said, as if reading her thoughts. "The people inside are from Tilwick's television station. I needed to discuss some matters with them and thought I might as well treat them to dinner."

He then added, "They're all men."

Noelle let out a soft laugh, as if she found his clarification amusing.

Hendrix raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want to come?"

"What?"

"I've noticed the scenery here is quite nice," Hendrix continued.

Noelle frowned. "Have you handled everything?"

"Yeah, it's pretty much done," Hendrix replied. "The construction team has identified the person responsible, and the victim's family has been taken care of. The TV station will be covering all this tomorrow."

"If it's all handled, then you should be able to come back now."

Hendrix paused, then said, "If I go back… Well, Rosie's there, right?"

"What?"

"I mean, the scenery here is really nice. I could show you around. But Rosie has school, doesn't she?"
