LittleNovelChapter 554 So that was how it was. Noelle thought about how Laura also knew Alfred and figured they were probably all acquaintances.
Once they were back in her private room, Noelle continued eating. She hadn't eaten her fill earlier.
Cedric, however, was still caught up in what had just happened and felt uneasy. He'd indeed felt relieved when Emma didn't reveal his identity in front of Noelle. As he watched Noelle eat, he hesitated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoelle noticed his hesitant expression after finishing her meal and asked, "What are you thinking about?" "A friend of mine... ran into strouble." "What happened?" Noelle wondered if Alfred was the friend he was referring to.
"This friend of mine comes from a wealthy family. He got into a relationship but hid his true identity from his girlfriend. Now, he's unsure whether to tell her about it." "In that case, I suggest they break up at once." Cedric's face paled at the mention of the words "break up," and he swallowed nervously. "Break up at once? What if he doesn't want to?" "If he doesn't want to break up, why wasn't he honest from the start?" Noelle seriously continued, "I think couples should be honest with each other. If he's hiding his identity, doesn't that mean he's afraid she's only after his money?" "That's not it." Cedric was so flustered that he was practically stumbling over his words. He'd never been this nervous, even during business negotiations.
"What is the reason then?" Noelle asked. Under her gaze, Cedric found himself at a loss of words. The real reason was even harder to explain.
Noelle suddenly leaned in closer. "Cedric, you're looking a little shady." Cold sweat formed on Cedric's forehead as Noelle narrowed her eyes and asked, "The way you're defending this friend... could it be that you're that friend you're talking about?" Cedric was so startled that he dared not speak.
Noelle burst out laughing. "Just kidding. It's probably Alfred, right?" Cedric's back was drenched in cold sweat as he wondered if he should confess, but Noelle had just said she'd immediately break up in such a situation. He refused to break up at all.
In the end, he chickened out. He decided he needed a solid plan, and perhaps he should talk to Alfred about it. Noelle glanced at the time. "Let's go. It's getting late." The two of them left L Bistro together.
As they stepped out, Noelle was surprised to spot Wyatt and Xenia still outside. "Haven't you guys gone in yet?" Xenia's face twisted in anger. Noelle was a bitch. They'd been left out here for so long, and she figured it had to be Noelle's doing.
Wyatt furiously snapped, "Noelle, did you say something to Donovan? He's been inside this whole tand isn't answering our calls!" Otherwise, why would he and Xenia be stuck outside for so long? "You should ask him that. Why are you asking me?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNoelle figured Donovan must be ignoring the two on purpose. Perhaps he was displeased with the two as well. Xenia pitifully chimed in, "I know you have issues with me, Noelle, but this dinner is really important-it concerns the foundation. If you ruin it, you're going to regret it if anything goes wrong." Damn it. She'd heard that Salena was attending the dinner as well.
If she could leave a good impression on Salena, she could potentially climb higher up the socialadder. Yet now, she was stuck and blocked from O entering L Bistro, let alone meeting Salena. This was all because of Noelle. This bitch must've kept her from meeting Salena.
Wyatt wheeled himself up to Noelle and grabbed her hand you have to takeand Xenia inside right now. Otherwise, you're not leaving." He'd promised to bring Xenia to L Bistro, and there was no way he was going back on his word.
