Chapter 259 Seeing Noelle remain silent for a while , Oliver couldnt help but call out , Ms.
Swanson ? Noelle snapped back to reality and immediately put on a standard smile .
Of course , Mr.
Freeman .
Thank you for making the introduction .
Were all partners .
Its the least I can do .
As he spoke , Hendrix stood up and extended his hand to her There were others in the conference room , and in their eyes , Hendrix was still the attention grabbing man .
So , Noelle had no choice but to extend her hand in return .
But as she shook Hendrixs hand , she couldnt help but dig her nails into his palm .
Her nails werent long .
with the pressure , Hendrix surely felt some pain ..
but Noelle noticed his brows twitching slightly .
She didnt linger , though .
After saying her goodbyes , she turned and walked out .
The Mr.
Mueller Hendrix mentioned was a major figure at Vinton Bank .
Even if Noelle had dealings with the bank , meeting him in person would be out of the question .
For Hendrix , however , it was a different story .
Noelle knew this wasnt Hendrixs first time working with Javier .
After all , their personal relationship seemed solid .
This time , it was clear that Hendrix had gone out of his way to include her ..
As expected , Hendrix called in the evening .
He mentioned picking her up for dinner and specifically emphasized that the meeting was for Noelle alone .
Noelle wasnt surprised , but she insisted on driving herself Hendrix didnt push back and simply told her to follow him closely as the restaurant could be a little tricky to find .
She recalled how , not long ago over drinks , Hendrix had claimed that he wasnt familiar with Vinton City .
Yet here he was today , navigating his car through a maze of twists and turns , eventually arriving at a place even Noelle didnt recognize .
Vinton City was already far less bustling than Coppersville , and now , theyd ventured into its outskirts .

As he spoke , Hendrix glanced at her shoes .
Do you want to change into another pair ? No , its fine , Noelle answered , already walking ahead .
Hendrix hadnt lied to her .
After walking down the cobblestone path , she saw the lights ahead .
It was a farmhouse restaurant .
Noelle turned to look at the man behind her , but Hendrixs gaze was fixed on her heel .
He wasnt sure if it was the high heels that didnt fit properly , but there was an obvious red mark on her ankle .
She seemed to have noticed nothing , only furrowing her brows as she stared back at him .
Hendrix could only raise his eyes and say , Lets go .
Mr.
Mueller is already waiting for us inside .
