Didnt you say you see Sandra as a sister ? Doesnt it hurt you to see your sister fall to this level ? Hendrix suddenly chuckled and raised his head to look at her .
I thought I was the one being unnecessarily jealous , but it turns out a certain someone might be the jealous one .
Who are you talking about ? Noelle shot back , her tone can and steady , as if their conversation had nothing to do with her .
Hendrix didnt continue teasing her and instead said , What youre really worried about is whether Sandra will try to interfere on Javiers side , isnt it ? Noelle didnt respond , but her silence was as good as confirmation .
Hendrix discarded the cotton swab and added , Its not impossible .
Noelle pressed her lips together .
But judging by Javiers attitude toward her tonight , it doesnt seem like hed listen to her , does it ? The fact that he brought her along to dinner is already a statement in itself .
Noelle fell silent again .
If that were the case , the situation didnt look good for her .
While Vinton City had more than one bank , Javiers influence was far too significant .
If Sandra truly managed to sway his stance , all of Noelles subsequent plans would become exceptionally difficult to execute .
This was a scenario Noelle absolutely couldnt afford to see unfold .
Are you worried ? Hendrix suddenly asked , breaking her train of thought .
Noelle frowned at him , as if blaming him for asking the obvious .
Sandra knows how to please others to secure her way forward .
Why dont you follow her example ? As Hendrix spoke , his hand calmly slid upward from her foot .
Very soon , his dry palm was resting against her calf .
His eyes locked onto hers , carrying a mix of instruction and subtle temptation .
Noelle met his gaze for a moment before chuckling .
Mr.
Freeman , are you offering yourself up for me to use ? Isnt it true that familiarity grows with practice ? For a second , Noelle found herself at a loss for words .
Or … is it that you cant bear to use me ? As Hendrixs words fell , the faint smile on Noelles face vanished instantly .
Without hesitation , she grabbed his tie and yanked him toward her with a force that was both swift and unrelenting The sudden move caught Hendrix off guard .
Reflexively , his hand shot out to grip the armrest of the couch beside her , just barely preventing himself from falling ungracefully .
But in doing so , the distance between them was reduced to an alarmingly close and undeniably charged proximity .
Their noses were mere inches apart , their gazes perfectly aligned .
They were so close that even the smallest details -their breaths , the delicate flutter of their eyelashes were crystal clear to each other .
