Hendrix left, and he didn't show up at Serene Street for a few days after that night.

Noelle thought she had really angered him this time. So, were things really over for them now?

When this thought crossed her mind, she instinctively looked at the things in the house, and she felt... helpless.

She went into the kitchen after sitting on the couch for a while. During this period of time, Noelle started cooking a lot. Her culinary skills weren't the best, but Hendrix seemed to enjoy the food prepared by her a lot. No matter how much food she cooked, he would finish it all the time.

This time, Noelle made two dishes as well.

When she arrived at the lobby of Amity Tower, she suddenly regretted it. After standing at the square in front of the tower for a while, she was still chickened out.

"However, someone suddenly called out to her, "Mrs. Freeman?"

That title did not belong to her anymore, but for some reason, Noelle couldn't help but stop when she heard it.

Dan walked toward her, looking surprised. "It's really you! What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I know! You must be here to see Mr. Freeman, right? Come on. Follow me up."

Dan was very happy as he spoke while leading Noelle along "Mr. Freeman is just upstairs. If he finds out that you're here, he will be very happy!"

Noelle followed behind him. She wanted to speak up but chose not to when she saw how excited Dan

was.

Soon, they arrived at the office door.

Noelle suddenly felt timid all over again. She turned to Dan and asked, "How is his mood today?"

Dan did not expect her to ask him such a question. He was stunned, and then he chuckled. "Don't worry. Mr. Freeman will be very happy when he sees you.

"So, this means he isn't in a good mood today." Noelle got the answer she wanted,

This made Dan speechless, as he didn't know how to answer that. After a brief pause, he just gave her an awkward

smile.

By now, they had already reached the door, and Noelle could no longer avoid it. After murmuring a quick thank you to Dan, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Hendrix was seated in his office chair, speaking on the phone.

He was speaking in rapid Edalanese, his tone sharp and intense, peppered with technical terms Noelle couldn't understand. It sounded like he might be scolding someone, but oddly, he seemed to be in a good mood.

However, the slight curl of his lips vanished the moment he caught sight of her. Then, he said a few more words before hanging up.

"What brings you here?" he asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.noveldrama

It was a reaction Noelle had grown used to from him. So, she didn't respond, simply placing the food container on the table nearby.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" she asked.

Hendrix didn't reply, merely lifting his eyes to look at her.

"I made it myself. Want to try it?"

As soon as Noelle finished speaking, Hendrix suddenly let out a laugh. "What's this supposed to mean? Are you trying to appease me?"

His words stunned Noelle.

After a while, she said, "About last time... It's indeed my fault. I apologize for my bad attitude toward you."

"Since you want to apologize, why wait until today?"

Noelle was speechless, but she quickly said, "Is there something wrong with today? Do I have to pick a lucky day?"
