Are you free ? Beatrices tone was as clear and decisive as ever .
Leite meet .
Noelle knew she couldnt avoid this meeting .
And , truth be old , there were things she wanted to ask as well .
So , she didnt hesitate to agree .
Beatrice suggested meeting at an exclusive café , and by the time Noelle arrived , she was already settled in a private room .
Beatrice was wearing a white dress as usual with her hair elegantly styled up .
The passing of time seemed to have left no mark on her face it was still as smooth and flawless as ever .
As Noelle entered the private room , Beatrice smiled and gently set a cup of coffee in front of her .
Try this .
It new batch of Blue Mountain for this year .
I remember youve always liked it .
Noelle thanked Beatrice .
She picked up the cup and took a sip of the hot coffee .
So , when did you and Hendrix get back together ? Beatrices question came out of the blue .
Noelles fingers stilled for a moment .
Then , she slowly lifted her gaze .
I had a feeling , actually , Beatrice continued , her expression calm .
Didnt the two of you have an argument before ? The palm print on his face had the entire company gossiping for days .
Noelle had completely forgotten about that incident .
Hearing Beatrice mention it so casually made her cheeks flush .
She opened her mouth to say something , but she didnt know what to say .
a At first , I thought he had a new girlfriend .
It wasnt until saw him buy Mr.
Yorks painting that I realized it was you .
If Im not mistaken , that painting was for you , right ? Painting ? Noelle had no idea what Beatrice was talking about .
But she quickly regained her composure .
I dont think so .
Ive never seen the painting .
That just means he hasnt had the chance to give it to you yet , Beatrice said with certainty .
Still , Im pretty sure that painting was meant for you .
No , there must be some misunderstanding .
I- Beatrice interrupted her smoothly , Youve always been fond of Mr.
Yorks paintings , right ? I heard you even wanted to study under him , but for some reason , it never worked out .
You know , Hendrix has always kept that in mind .
But how did he know ? Of course he knows ! Beatrice chuckled softly .
In fact , hes been keeping an eye on you ever since you started .
university .
Perhaps it was because he became curious about you after I told him about the marriage we parents arranged for the two of you .
In any case , he often visited your university during that time .
It was actually why I insisted that you two o get married after graduation .
I honestly thought youd be happy together .
But now , it seems I overestimated him .
He doesnt understand anything , least of all his own feelings .
Noelle had never heard any of this before , nor could she picture Hendrix acting in such a way .
And that was exactly why she was so shocked .
Well , at least hes realized a thing or two now , Beatrice said with a quick smile .
You two … seem to be doing Chapter 154 well now ? Uh … Things between us arent exactly the way you think they are .
ו Beatrice laughed gently .
Whatever they are , I think its enough for now .
You dont mind ? Mind what ?: The recent rumors about me .
