Chapter 41 The guy with the phone blinked in confusion , realizing his viewfinder was suddenly blocked .
Il , imposing figure stepped forward Harley .
His sharp , cold gaze locked onto the would be photographer like a hawk spotting prey.
A tall , Dont take photos without permission , Harley said , his voice low but packed with authority S.
Sorry ! The student stammered , lowering his phone immediately under the weight of Harleys chilling aura .
Harley confirmed there were no pictures saved before turning away and striding toward Noelle .
All night .
I get it youre amazing .
Now open your eyes liefore people start thinking we have a little blind student wandering around , he said with an exasperated chuckle .
Hmph .
Noelle slowly blinked her eyes open , tilting her head at Harley .
Next time , dont underestimate me She puffed up her cheeks slightly , still miffed .
As if someone like Harley could actually protect her .
She used to be his commanding officer !! Harley couldnt help but smirk at her stubborn streak .
I didnt underestimate you .
Then why are you hovering like Im some fragile doll ? Caught off guard , Harley stumbled for a reply .
He gazed at her , wondering how someone could be so perceptive about some things and so clueless about others .
Its just instinct , I guess , he finally admitted , shrugging with a small sigh .
Fine .
My bad .
Good .
Noelle said triumphantly .
Dont do it again .
Leia , walking nearby , had been listening to their exchange the entire time .
What is wrong with Noelle she thought , exasperated .
Anyone with half a brain could see Harley wants to protect her because he likes her ! But she twists it into some ridiculous insult about being underestimated .
How dense can one person be ? Sull , Leia couldnt help but see the silver lining .
If Noelle was going to remain oblivious , it gave her more room to swoop in and win Harley over The group eventually reached their assigned section for the opening ceremony .
The event started with the usual pleasantries from the university president , filled with generic words of encouragement for the incoming freshmen Next up was a speech from the student council president .
However , r , due to the president being unwell , the vice president Eli was called to step This was a side of Ei that Noelle had never seen before .
He walked confidently onto the stage , his tall , lean frame exuding a quiet authority .
His crisp white shirt , perfectly knotted tie , and polished demeanor made him look every bit the part of a leader .
Yet , there was a warmth in his smile that softened his otherwise composed and professional When Eli spoke , his voice was clear and soothing , cutting through the summer heat like a refreshing breeze .
From the moment he appeared , the audience was captivated especially the girls .
God , the vice president is so handsome ? Forget joining a club .
Tin joining the student council to be near him ! Hry , mind your tongue .
Were in school 1/3 Chapter 41 Damn .
Hes so attractive ! Is he single ! Because if he is , Im shooting my shot.
Noelle , overhearing the chatter around her , could hurdly believe her ears .
What the heck ! Is this really Elif Noelle thought Her impression of Eli was vastly different .
At home , he was the perpetually stern and nagging older brother .
Yet here , he was practically a celebrity .
Is Eli secretly a master of disguise ? Noelle thought .
Leia , on the other hand , was fully aware of Els popularity at school , but even she hadnt realized it was this overwhelming .
A plan began forming in her mind .
If Eli was this admired , she could surely use his influence to her advantage .
After the opening ceremony , the first year students gathered in their classrooms to elect class representatives .
Harley , naturally , chose to sit next to Noelle , with Leia taking the spot beside him .
Harley , are you going to run for class rep ? Leia asked sweetly .
kaning toward him slightly .
Instead of answering her , Harley turned to Noelle .
Are you interested in running for anything ? Ugh , no way .
Sounds like too much work , Noelle said , scrunching her nose .
The memory of middle school, where being a class rep meant endless chores , was still fresh in her mind .
Then I wont run either , Harley said nonchalantly .
What ? Why not ? Noelle asked , genuinely puzzled .
Do you want me to run ? Harley countered , his tone teasing .
Well .
Noelles eyes lit up mischievously .
If you become class rep , you could totally bend the rules for me , right ? Harley raised an eyebrow , a slow smirk spreading across his face .
In that case , Ill run for class rep .
Yay ! Leia clenched her fists under the table , her nails digging into her palms .
Harley and Noelles close relationship was a puzzle to most people .
Harley wasnt just anyone he was the scion of a prestigious family , his lineage marked by both historical achievements and societal influence .
Compared to the Anderson family , his status was a whole tier above , making it clear that Harley had no reason to defer to anyone , let alone cater their whims .
And yet , when it came to Noelle , he was almost unrecognizable .
saf To Harley listened to her , indulged her , and even went so far as to change his own plans just because Noelle mentioned wanting someone to pull some strings for her .
It left everyone scratching thei their heads .
Who is Noelle , really ? What has she done to deserve st such loyalty from someone like Harley !? The results of the class officer elections were announced .
In the end , Harley won the election by a landslide and was named class rep .
Lela , much to her satisfaction , became the vice rep , tasked with assisting him After the class officer elections wrapped up and the advisor finished going over the necessary details , the meeting was dismissed .
Students trickled out of the classroom one by one Leia quickly caught up to Harley , flashing him a sweet smile .
Harley , I remember back in high school , you were the class president , and I was the vice president .
Now , in college , its the same again .
Looks like were really meant to be , huh ? 9:29 AM c Chapter 41 Mm Harley responded , his tone flat and indifferent .
Without another word , he walked straight to Noelles side .
Its lunchtime .
Noelle , lets go eat .
Okay Any food preferences Nope .
But I love meat .
Make sure to order lots of it .
I know .
Harley couldnt help but chuckle .
He still remembered when the Thunder Unit came to their school for training back then .
Noelle was a complete carnivore .
She could skip everything else , but meat ! That was non negotiable .
Two years had passed , and she was still the same .
Leia watched their easy , familiar exchange , and the jealousy gnawed at her .
She forced a smile and asked , Harley , Noelle , how did you two meet ! You seem so close Noelle turned to Leia , blinking innocently .
You really want to know ? Of course Leia answered eagerly , her eyes filled with anticipation .
Tell me , Noelle .
Im really curious .
Harley frowned slightly .
Noelle had been adamant about keeping her identity under wraps .
Leia might act friendly on the surface , but she wasnt someone to be taken lightly .

If she found out the truth , it could lead to trouble .
Then , before Harley could say anything , Noelle simply smiled and said .
Thats a secret between me and Harley .
Im not telling you Nick had warned her Leia wasnt to be trusted .
And Noelle wasnt about to fall into her trap .
