Her smile was dazzling , and even if Dominic had been annoyed moments before , her charm smoothed over any displeasure .
Dominic slid a hand toward her waist .
Well , I have time now .
So , Ms.
Swanson , when are you planning to fulfill your promise and have dinner with me ? Noelle deftly sidestepped his touch , grabbing a glass of wine from a nearby server and placing it in his hand instead .
Im always ready , of course .
How about this ? Ill contact your assistant tomorrow to set up a time .
Why go through so much trouble ? Dont you already have iny personal number ? Dominic said as he accepted the wine glass , his hand brushing lightly against the back of Noelles .
Though Dominic wasnt overweight , and his features could even be considered refined , the gesture still made Noelle feel a wave of revulsion .
But no matter how uncomfortable she felt , her smile remained impeccable .
Alright .
Ill make sure to pick a good restaurant tonight and call you tomorrow .
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Dominic , she deftly dove into the next wave of obligatory socializing .
Just when she thought she was going to get a muscle cramp from all the smiling , someone else walked through the door .
Isnt that Lana Ray ? Noelle heard someone ask .
She froze for a moment , and just as she was trying to place the name , another person chimed in , Yeah , shes the one who just graduated from film school this year .
I dont know how she got so lucky .
I mean , shes not even that pretty .
Holding her wine glass , Noelle immediately remembered who the person was after hearing those words- Hendrixs new lover ! The entertainment industry had always been somewhat connected to their circle , so there were actually quite a few actors and singers at tonights party .
But what really surprised Noelle was that Lana wasnt with Hendrix .
Instead , she had arrived with her manager , Isla Stone .
Noelle merely glanced at Lana before redirecting her attention elsewhere .
To her surprise , however , Lana walked toward her after noticing her .
Youre … Ms.
Swanson , right ? Lanas voice was crisp and carried a hint of youthful innocence .
general manager The situation between them was inevitably awkward .
Noell was now the vice of a subsidiary under Elm Group , and the shadow of Hendrix had long faded from her life .
However , the moment Lana approached her , others couldnt help but recall the label that had orice defined her Hendrixs ex wife .
Noelle paid no attention to the curious cares around her .
She simply nodded at Lana .
Do you live here in Vinton City now ? Lana continued trying to make small talk with her .
Noelle couldnt help but find her amusing .
It wasnt mockery , but rather , she found her naivety endearing .
After all , the curiosity and probing in her eyes were far too obvious .
Noelle didnt call her out on it , just nodded and said , Yes .
Then , could we maybe grab lunch together one of these days ? Lana asked .

Sure .
Her response was quick and easy just like with anyone else she had encountered that evening .
Soon , Isla came over .
She first glanced at Noelle before leaning in to whisper something in Lanas ear .
Lana hesitated for a moment , then looked back at Noelle .
I have to go now .
Lets keep in touch , okay ? Noelle simply smiled in response .
Lana said nothing further .
However , Isla cast a few wary glances at Noelle before finally leading Lana away .
Noelle shrugged indifferently , then turned around and smiled at someone else .
Ah , Mr.
Bankster , its been at while .
