Chapter 24 Sandras arm was linked with Hendrix .
They were both wearing matching blue outfits .
At a glance , it looked like they were the perfect couple .
Noelle felt as if she had been slapped by her own husband .
Bitterness welled up in her .
Not even the cake could push the bitter taste away .
She did not continue her conversation with Maxwell .
Instead, she placed her cake down on the table .
Just as she turned to leave , Sandra saw her .
Noelle ! Her voice was loud and clear .
It was impossible for Noelle not to hear her .
At the same time , Maxwell stepped in front of her , blocking her path of escape .
Noelle frowned at him .
Maxwell did not look at her .
He looked straight ahead and siled , putting out his hand .
Mr.
Freeman .
Ive heard a lot about you .
Hendrix ignored Noelle , who had turned her back to him , and shook Maxwells hand .
Pleasure to meet you .
Max , long time no see ! Sandra greeted Maxwell excitedly as well .
Her eyes were large and bright , shining almost as bright as the stars .
Maxwell just smiled at her politely .
Sandra did not seem to mind his lackluster reaction .
She turned her smile onto Noelle .
Noelle , why didnt you tell me you were coming here ? I left late , so I thought Id be the last one to arrive .
I didnt expect to see Hendrix at the door ! Actually , why didnt you come with him ? Sandra managed to explain why she had turned up with Hendrix , but the main point was her last question .
Noelle turned .
No particular reason , she replied simply , dot inviting an answer .
Not even Sandra knew how to continue the conversation .
But she brightened all the same and changed the subject ..
Max , you must have prepared all these cakes for Noelle , didnt you ? But I dont think she likes cake now .
Ive never seen Hendrix get her any cake .
Sandras acting was horrible .
Noelle could puke at the sight .
She had no intention of playing along with her act .
Sorry , she said .
I need to go to the bathroom .
With that , she turned away .
Sandra was about to offer to accompany her , but Noelle wasnt about to give her the chance .
As soon as she finished speaking , she walked away .
Just then , someone grabbed her hand .
Before she could react , the hand made its way around her shoulder .
Ill go with you , Hendrix said , calm yet firm .
Noelle frowned .
However , Hendrixs grip was tight .
She had no way of freeing herself .

Chapter 24 +25 BONUS When they arrived at an empty corridor , Noelle said , Theres no one around here .
You can let go now , Mr.
Freeman .

When Hendrix refused to move , she pulled at his fingers with all her might .
