Chapter 69 Noelle had no idea where she had headed afterward It felt as though her world had shrunk to house only Hendek .
She clung to him throughout the time as though she could not stand on her own , surrendering entirely to his demands .
The unrestrained indulgence took a toll on Noelles body , leaving her feeling as though she had been run over by a truck when she woke up the next day .
Her throat was parched and burning A sharp pain shot through her calf as soon as she tried to move She couldnt help but let out a soft groan , lying still on the bed for a moment before slowly lifting her head .
The room looked unfamiliar to her .
It wasnt her tiny rental apartment , nor was it Nivis Villa .
However , Hendrix owned numerous properties in Coppersille , so it didnt surprise her that he owned a place like this Noelle didnt have the time to dwell on it at the moment .
She bent down to pick up her clothes from the floor before putting them on slowly and carefully .
Her phone had finally powered back on when she stepped out of the room .
There were countless messages and missed calls .
A voice suddenly sounded as she lowered her head and scrolled through them , Youre up .
Noelle immediately stopped in her tracks .
She felt as if her blood had frozen before it slowly began to flow backward at that moment .
She didnt know how long it took before she regained her composure and turned her head slowly .
Hendrix was standing at the doorway of another room .
He narrowed his eyes and looked at her .

You … havent left yet ? It wasnt until she spoke that she realized how hoarse her voice was .
The memories of the previous night immediately surged into her mind .
Lets talk , Hendrix said , striding past her toward the living room .
Noelle had no choice but to follow .
She had simply drunk something she shouldnt have last night .
She wasnt drunk .
The things that happened between them afterward had unfolded clearly in her head .
That clarity was precisely why she had no idea how to face him now .
She lowered her gaze and sat across from him without making eye contact .
Did you have dinner with Maxwell last night ? His demeanor was much more calm and casual than hers .
However , his question caught her off guard .
She paused for moment and nodded .
So , hes the one who dougged you ? Hendrix sounded like he was asking a question , but the certainty in his tone made it clear that he already knew the answer .
Chapter 69⠀⠀ +25 BONUS Noelle said nothing .
She couldnt help but tighten her hands on her lap .
Hendrix chucked .
What ? Are you still going to defend him how ? She lifted her head .
What exactly are you trying to say ? So youve grown a spine now , havent you ? Youre no longer the person you were last night when you were crying and begging me , are you ? I … His words made Noelles eyes widen instantly .
Her voice caught in her throat , and a blush quickly crept up to the tips of her ears .
Hendrix seemed amused by her reaction .
His lips curled into a faint smile .
I … You … Is this what you wanted to talk about ? she finally asked .
No.
He e stopped teasing her and said , Im just curious .
Why didnt you just sleep with Maxwell since you and he were in the same room last night ? Were just friends ! He apparently doesnt think so .
Yes .
She forced a smile , her previous defiance fading as hier voice grew quieter .
Thats why were not even friends anymore .
