After Noelle's last "reminder," he no longer pried or gossiped about the relationship between though his gaze kept darting toward her on the way, his expression hesitant.
Delle and Hendrix, It wasn't until Noelle rolled her eyes at him that he finally stopped.
To Noelle's surprise, tonight's dinner was uneventful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the host, Jufocused on discussing the details of the collaboration with Hendrix, while Noelle, as an accompanying member, only needed to chin occasionally or join in a toast.
Throughout the evening, Hendrix barely gave her a glance.
But Noelle quickly understood why and recalled her last conversation with him.
Even if he was unwilling, Hendrix was not the type of person who would run back to his ex. He wouldn't date her again. He would not, and his ego would not allow it, either.
Thinking of this, Noelle let out a sigh of relief.
Right at that moment, her phone rang. The ringtone broke the jolly atmosphere of the private room. Noelle quickly stood up with her phone in her hand. "Sorry Letanswer this." "Your boyfriend?" Juasked with a smile. "Is he checking up on you?" Noelle just smiled, nodded briefly to the others, and stepped out with her phone.
The caller was indeed Dylan. He asked why she hadn't retumed when it was already late.
"There's a dinner." "Not over yet?" "Mm-hmm, should be wrapping up soon," Noelle answered casually.
However, the person on the other end didn't seem satisfied and reminded her, "You're still coughing." "I know. I didn't drink much." "Where are you? I'll cpick you up.' Noelle originally wanted to say no, but after a pause, she changed her mind. "I'm not sure when it'll end yet. I'll call you when it's almost over." "Alright. Drink less and don't smoke." "Got it." Noelle had actually taken out a cigarette and lighter, but after hearing Dylan's words, she chuckled softly and agreed before hanging up.
Since she had already promised him, she had no intention of going against it. She put the items back and turned to return to the private room.

Only Hendrix was left inside the room.
Chapter 227 Noelle froze for a moment, then turned her head to check the situation outside.
Hendrix seemed to know what she was thinking, so he said "Don't bother. Juand the others have left." Noelle immediately frowned.
But considering their current status, she ultimately suppressed her m displeasure and simply said, "In that case, be leaving first, Mr. Freeman. You..."
"What did you tell your boyfriend?" Hendrix interrupted her. "Did youn dher mention that you're meeting your ex- husband tonight? If he knew, what would his reaction be?" "No." "Oh? Are you afraid he'd overthink or feel upset?"
"No." Noelle maintained a poker face. "To me, there's no difference between you and other business parthers. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Then, Noelle turned to leave.
However, her body suddenly swayed in the next second.
