Chapter 94
Noelle and Clark’s negotiation went smoothly. In fact, they went ahead with their second dance instead of leaving, the dance floot even when the first song had ended.
“I don’t think I’ve got your name yet,” Clark couldn’t resist asking her.
Raising an eyebrow, she replied, “It’s a masquerade ball, 1’t see a need for us to exchange names,”
“But you already know who I am. Isn’t that a little unfair for me?”
“There are plenty of people who are aware of your identity here. There’s nothing I can do about it when you’re so famous. “There was a tinge of resignation in her tone.
However, Clark didn’t appear the slightest bit angry, Instead, he simply asked, “Does that mean that I won’t get the chance to take you out for a meal after tonight?”
“Oh, you can still take me out.” Noelle nodded earnestly as she continued, “When the time comes, you can bring your father along, and I’ll come with Mr. Quinlans. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a meal together?”
So, it turns out you’re Brandon’s subordinate all this time. Are you his secretary? Or perhaps his assistant? Could you be one of the talents under his company?” He made his guesses one after another.
But instead of giving him an answer, Noelle simply asked, So, what do you say about the meal, Mr. Townsend?”
“Well, I’ll definitely accept it if you’ll be there.”
“Alright,” Noelle agreed without hesitation.
Clark stared at her for a while before he spoke up, “You’re not pulling any tricks, are you? I’ve remembered you tonight. All it takes is a glance, and I’ll know if Brandon finds someone else to replace you.‘
Noelle only smiled in response.
“What, don’t you believe me?” he asked.
“I do,” she replied with a serious nod. “Thank you for your favor, Mr. Townsend. Rest assured, I’ll be there as promised. As for whether you can recognize me… well, that depend on how sharp your eyes are.”
“I’m starting to get more curious about your identity.” Using; the dance steps to his advantage, Clark took a long stride toward Noelle as he spoke,
Startled, she was just about to step back when someone suddenly reached their leg out and stepped on Clark’s foot. Infuriated, Clark immediately raised his head and snapped “Who-”
The chandelier overhead suddenly flickered just as his words fell. The next moment, all the lights in the banquet hall went out. A few startled screams instantly rang out in the venue.
A frown crossed Clark’s face. He was just about to grab Noelle’s hand when someone suddenly bumped into him from behind. In the end, he only managed to grasp at thin afr.
It didn’t take long for the lights in the banquet hall to come back on. The incident only happened within a span of several seconds. But by the time Clark looked over, he realized that the person before him had changed.
At the same time, a woman who was dressed in a black gown stared back at him in shock.
Noelle had no idea who had dragged her away. She wanted to struggle, but the person quickly covered her mouth

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...
