Chapter 212 Hendrix wasnt sure if such a law really existed in the world a law that claimed the more one worried about something happening , the more inevitable its occurrence .
Similarly , the more one tried to avoid seeing someone , the more certain it became that they would cross paths .
At that moment , Hendrix was staring expressionlessly at the woman not far away .
Noelles outfit today was simple yet elegant a light blue shirt paired with a black skirt .
Her hair was tied in a low ponytail , and her makeup was much more understated than the night before But the smile on her face was genuine .
She was laughing as she spoke to the man in front of her , and the entire atmosphere was one of warmth and happiness .
Mr.
Freeman ? Clayton Hayes asked hesitantly , standing beside Hendrix and still waiting for his instructions , when he noticed Hendrix had suddenly stopped walking .
Hendrix tried to take a step forward , but for some reason , his feet felt unbearably heavy .
And no matter how hard he tried , he couldnt take a single step .
Isnt that Mr.
Russo ? asked Clayton after he followed Hendrixs gaze and finally spotted Dominic ahead .
Dominic , who had been toasting and chatting with Noelle , also heard the question .
As soon as he saw Hendrix , he immediately stood up .
Mr.
Freeman ! Noelle had actually spotted Hendrix before he did , but she didnt say anything about it .

After all , Hendrix wasnt going to be in Vinton City for long , and arranging this dinner with him had been no easy task .

But before she could finish her sentence , Hendrix suddenly cut in , Then , lets all sit together .
His reply caught everyone off guard .
Not only Noelle and Clayton , but even Dominic was surprised .
After all , he had extended the invitation merely out of courtesy , never expecting Hendrix to actually accept .
Noticing Dominics reaction , Hendrix asked , Is that a problem ? No , not at all , replied Dominic quickly .
He then signaled the waiter to rearrange the seating .
Thus , they were moved from the public dining hall to a private dining room .
Hendrix and Clayton were there for business , each accompanied by their assistants and secretaries .
As a result , the ten person table was filled to the brim once everyone had settled down in their seats .
Noelle had only attended the dinner at Dominics invitation They had just signed a partnership agreement between their companies , so the dinner was just about maintaining that business relationship .
To her , it wasnt particularly essential .
But for Clayton , it was a different matter altogether .
With two unrelated guests at the table , he was likely wondering whether to continue with the business conversation or not .
Not wanting to offend anyone unnecessarily , Noelle decided that she would find an excuse to step away to the restroom later .
