Chapter 233 Then , Noelle looked at Hendrix .
What do you want to say ? Hendrix asked .
This question caused Noelles lips to press even tighter together .
She set down her cutlery and wiped the corners of her mouth .
With this evidence , I can call the police , she said .
Oh ? Call the police to arrest me ? Hendrix smiled faintly .
Looking at his smile , Noelles brows furrowed even more .
What are you laughing at ? Oh ? Should I not be laughing ? As if granting her wish , Hendrix quickly dropped his smile and asked again , Since you plan to call the police , shouldnt you be at the station now ? Why are you sitting here having a meal with me instead ? Noelle fell silent .
Are you trying to use this to threaten me ? Hendrix continued , sliding on a pair of gloves as he began peeling shrimp with meticulous care .
His actions were elegant , and his expression was composed as though the two of them were merely on an ordinary dinner date .
Then , he asked casually , So , is this about getting me to hand over the Continental Reach project rights to your company ? Who came up with this idea ? Your boyfriend ? And why didnt he come with you today ? Is he not worried that I , the prime suspect , might do something to you again ? Or do you both think meeting in a restaurant lobby makes you safe ? He fired off one question after another .
That seemingly calm tone carried a distinct undercurrent of pressure , and the sharp look in Hendrixs eyes reminded Noelle of the man she had seen at the negotiating table .
It was the version of him that was utterly unshakable .
His air of confidence , bordering on arrogance , made her hands clench involuntarily .
Her lips parted slightly , but she couldnt say anything .
Hendrix held her gaze for a moment longer before he let out a soft sigh .
The hint of helplessness in that sigh only deepened the furrow in Noelles brows .
Then , almost as if deciding against something , Hendrix removed his gloves .
He wanted to say more , but seeing her like this , he swallowed the words .
He thought , Forget it .
Its better not to scare her anymore She had gone through a lot from last night until now , after all .
Hendrix placed the bowl of peeled shrimp in front of her and said , I agree to your conditions .
W What ? Arent you trying to threaten me ? If I dont agree , you will report it to the police , right ? Hendrix asked .
I dont want you to do that , so Im agreeing to work with you .
This was what Noelle wanted .
But for some reason , she felt helpless .

She felt like he knew what she wanted , and whatever he said now was just to go with her .
Noelle looked at the shrimp and gritted her teeth .
Hows your wound ? Hendrix suddenly asked .
Noelle looked up at him .
Is it still painful ? he asked .
Hendrix , do you think its appropriate for you to ask me this , considering our current relationship ? He slowly looked down .
Noelle wanted to say something , but she suddenly found it pointless .
Since youve agreed to it , then I shall take my leave .
She then turned to leave .
Hendrix didnt stop her .
Instead , he just looked at the untouched bowl of shrimp .
Then , he saw the man waiting for her at the entrance of the restaurant .
Hendrix narrowed his eyes .
He had seen this man before was Noelles new boyfriend .
