Chapter 248 I dont know , either .
But considering everything thats happened between us , you wont mind if I take a little more time to think , right ? Noelle asked .
That was the final response she left for Hendrix .
And she was right too much had happened between them , so taking more time to think things through was only fair .
Hendrix had always considered himself a patient man , or a least he used to believe so .
Take Amity Groups situation , for example .
He had been laying the groundwork since last year and had only recently begun to reel it all in .
So that was why he had always believed himself to be a skilled hunter .
But as the days passed , Hendrix found that his patience wasnt as steadfast as he had once believed .
Looking back , he realized he had done countless irrational things when it came to Noelle .
Every time Hendrix thought about reaching out to her , he would remember the serious look on her face that day .
If it meant a good outcome , then waiting a few more days wasnt unbearable .
At least that was what he told himself .
Until one day , he discovered that the woman who claimed she needed time to think had accompanied Dylan to at school event for a guest lecture .
Their photo ended up on the news with the words A Perfect Match dominating most of the comments section .
Hendrix couldnt hold back anymore .
He got into his car and drove straight to Galaxy Grove .
By now , Dylan had already moved in with Noelle , but Hendrix didnt care .
After all , they were just pretending to be a couple .
Noelle had just finished her shower when the doorbell rang When she opened the door , she was met with Hendrix , his face dark with barely contained anger Her hair was still damp with droplets of water dripping steadily from the ends , She looked at him with a hint of confusion , as if she couldnt quite understand why he was there .
Where were you today ? Hendrix asked .
Noelle raised an eyebrow .
Quickly realizing he must have seen the news , instead of answering his question , she turned and walked back into the apartment .
Perfect timing ! I have something to say to you , too .
Her casual and different attitude made Hendrix pause for a moment , but then , his brows furrowed even tighter .
About what we discussed last time , Ive made up my mind Noelle said , her tone calm as she walked over to the couch and sat down .
When she looked up , she noticed Hendrix was still standing by the door .
She was a little surprised but quickly chuckled .
That expression … Does it mean you dont want an answer anymore ? Who said that? Hendrix shot back , stepping forward with a steady stride .
In a low voice , he asked , So , you- But mid sentence , he abruptly fell silent .
Noelle didnt seem to notice his hesitation and continued speaking calmly , as if it didnt matter , What Dylan and I have between us is actually a transaction .
When I was transferred here , I didnt have any real authority , and negotiating deals was an uphill battle .
Thats when I met him , and he proposed a partnership .
By posing as his girlfriend .
