Noelle did not look at him .
She didnt even give him a second glance as she rolled the window up .
When that happened , Hendrix turned and went into the horse without hesitation .
He wasnt looking at Noelle , but Noelle was staring after him , watching his back as he left .

While she was looking for Maxwell , a voice sounded , Hey , you really came ! Noelle did not need to look behind her to know who it was .
She had no intention of giving her attention , but just as she was about to walk away , someone grabbed her arm .
Why the hurry ? Did you not hear me ? Ruths voice was shrill .

Just like they did in high school .
Noelle clenched her fists and looked over at Ruth .
Do you need anything ? she asked calmly .

Rath couldnt help but pause for a moment .
She recovered quickly with a scoff.
Whats with that look ? Why are you looking at me like that ? Noelle laughed as well .
Are you trying to pick a fight with me here ? She sounded calm , but her arms were tense on her side .
She looked like she was ready to s warning Ruth without Chapter 22 ☐ +25 BONUS It was exactly what shed done that day .
Ruth looked at her with an ugly expression .
Just as she was about to say something , another voice sounded from her back , Elle , youre here ! Ruths expression changed when she heard the voice .
At the same time , the cold look in Noelles eyes softened .
I was thinking of going to pick you up , Maxwell said , ignoring everyone else and walking right up to Noelle .
This is a lavish party , Noelle said .
I can find my way just well .
