Chapter 433 The peaceful moment was shattered when Hendrixs phone rang .
He frowned , having no intention to answer .
But then , he remembered the important work dinner he had tonight .
After taking a deep breath , he straightened up and answered the call .
The person on the other end said something that made his frown deepen .
Finally , he replied softly , Alright .
I understand .
With that , he hung up .
Then , he turned to Noelle .
Ive got to go .
Okay .
Noelle nodded calmly , as if the tender moment between them just moments ago had never happened .
But Hendrix didnt plan to let her off so easily .
He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her .
This kiss was different from his usual ones .
It was gentle , warm , and lingering Noelle couldnt help but feel her body relax into the kiss .
She suddenly went weak in the knees , causing her hand to instinctively shoot up and clutch his collar tightly .
Only when she was breathless , her cheeks flushed , did he finally relinquish her lips .
With one hand still cradling her face , Hendrix gently brushed his other thumb over her lips to wipe away the traces of their kiss .
Alright .
Im going now .
As he spoke , he glanced down at her hands .
It was only then Noelle realized she was still gripping his collar .
The tips of her ears turned red , and she quickly let go .
Hendrixs smirk deepened .
He reached out to ruffle her hair .
Dont wait up for me tonight .
Get some early rest .
I know , Noelle replied , but her eyes avoided his .
But Hendrix didnt mind .
He hugged her once more before putting on his coat and heading out .
The temperature outside was much colder than indoors .
Hendrix wasnt usually bothered by the cold , but now , he couldnt help but shiver once he stepped outside .
Then , he found himself desperately longing for the warmth inside the room .
He instinctively turned toward the building behind him the light in Noelles room was still on .
Levi had the car ready , the door already opened .
But Hendrix stood still , staring at a particular window as if waiting for something or someone to appear .
Mr.
Freeman ? Even when Levi called him curiously , Hendrix didnt move .

Finally , he saw the curtains shift , and immediately after , Noelle appeared at the window .
And just like that , they locked eyes with each other .
A smile immediately appeared on Hendrixs lips .
Noelle , however , froze for a moment before decisively closing the curtains .

But Hendrix simply chuckled as if nothing had happened before getting to the car .
He remained in a good mood throughout his journey to the restaurant .
That was , until he entered the private dining room and saw who was inside .
It was a small , internal gathering .
The attendees were major shareholders of Amity Group .
Although Nathan had been removed from his position , he still held shares , so his presence here didnt raise too many eyebrows .
When he saw Hendrix , he greeted him enthusiastically , There you are , Hendrix ! Come on .
Let me introduce my girlfriend to you .
Meet Olivia .
