Chapter 88
Noelle seemed very solemn, but Brandon merely chuckled. I guess you’re right. I’m sorry. That was inconsiderate.
of me.”
He was very sincere when he apologized, and she looked a little pushy in comparison.
Noelle also realized it. So, she apologized and said, “I got worked up just now,”
“It’s fine. Your reputation is at stake, after all. It’s only understandable that you reacted like that. It’s my bad to begin with.”
The elevator door slid open as Brandon spoke. He was absolutely right when he said that the view on the balcony was wonderful up here. The distant neon lights flickered gently, and the blowing wind lifted Noelle’s spirits.
Brandon glanced at Noelle’s reaction and confirmed that she was happy with this spot before he continued, ” Actually, I’m quite against the idea of Maxwell and Sandra being together.
“Maxwell is my younger brother. Although I wasn’t willing to accept that fact, blood is thicker than water. As far as I’m concerned, Sandra isn’t a good choice for a wife.”
What Brandon said took Noelle by surprise. After all, she had thought that everyone in their circle loved Sandra. Otherwise, her arrival back then wouldn’t have been met with this much rejection.
Needless to say, Sandra had done a lot of stuff to ensure it happened. After all, not everyone could keep up a pretense for this long.
“Sandra is too much of a scheming lady. The Quinlan family is complicated enough as it is. If she marries into the family, she’s going to stir up some trouble. That’s something I didn’t want to see at all.
“I’m sorry, Noelle. I know Sandra is your younger sister, but I don’t mean to badmouth her. Actually, I’m just discussing it with you.”
Brandon gave Noelle an apologetic look and added, “I hope you don’t mind.”
Noelle shook her head. Truth be told, it even felt like she had gotten herself an ally after she heard what Brandon said. What made her feel more bizarre was that Brandon actually told her all of this.
“I’ve read your comic, and I was hooked. I’ll ask my men to pay you the highest possible price for the rights. If you have the time, I hope you’ll participate in the scriptwriting.”
Noelle shook her head. “I don’t know how to do that.”
“It’s okay. There’s a dedicated development studio at Quinlan Group. You’re a smart lady. I’m sure you’ll be doing wonderfully once you spend some time learning what you need to learn over there,” Brandon said solemnly.
it out loud?” Noelle didn’t avoid his gaze, either. “What do you want, Mr Quinlan? Why don’t you just say it
She was so bold and straightforward that Brandon couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. However, he quickly smiled. again and asked, “What’s the matter? Do I have to have some agendas to be making this offer?”

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...
