No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 830

Noelle sighed. "But I didn't expect that they couldn't keep an eye on Xenia with their numbers. Things will get a lot more complicated if she falls into the hands of the Merlock family."

Cedric reminded her, "We haven't found her yet, so don't jump to conclusions. Don't slip up and let the Merlocks catch on."

Noelle knew Xenia might have escaped on her own. But if the Merlocks found out she was missing, they would start searching as well, and that would make things even messier.

Noelle muttered, "Okay, I understand."

Upon hearing Cedric's voice, she feels a little better. Then, out of nowhere, she blurted, "What are you doing right now?"

It suddenly struck her that every conversation they had revolved around her revenge.

No matter what happened, Cedric always managed to show up when she needed him. But Noelle knew that Cedric was the heir of the Greene family. He probably had a ton on his plate.

Yet he still made her his top priority.

Cedric smiled, and his mood lifted. He turned his chair slightly. "I'm at the office."

Noelle hummed. "Are you busy lately?"

Cedric's breath hitched. "It's manageable. But I have a meeting soon. What's wrong?"

"No reason. You should get back to work then." Noelle sounded like she was about to hang up.

But Cedric stopped her. "Noelle, if something's on your mind, just tell me. Nothing I have going on is more important than you."

His words warmed her heart, and Noelle flushed red. She touched her burning cheeks. "If you're free tonight, let's have dinner together. I haven't had the chance to properly thank you for everything you've done. It's my treat. Let's meet at L Bistro."

Laura's voice rang out. "Get out of my way! I have something to say to Cedric. I know he's in there! Tell him to stop hiding from me!"

Laura had brought two bodyguards this time. She shoved past the employees and barged into the office.

She saw Cedric seated behind the desk, dressed in a sleek black suit, strikingly handsome, exuding the air of a successful man.

This was the same man she had loved for so many years. Yet he was so cruel to her.

Cedric looked up at her. "You should know I don't like people barging into my office uninvited."

Laura retorted, "Cedric, don't you think you should take responsibility for everything you've done to me?"
