The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 543

"It's me," Noelle said.

"I know," Hendrix replied.

"Did you handle the situation with Ebony?"

Though she phrased it as a question, her tone said otherwise.

Hendrix paused on the other end before responding with a quiet, "Yes."

"Thank you for your help, but let's end it right here. There's no need to blacklist him."

"What's the matter? Are you feeling sorry for him?" Hendrix asked, a hint of mockery in his voice. "Why would you feel sorry for a man who threw you under the bus the moment things went wrong?"

Noelle naturally understood his implication but simply replied calmly, "If he had spoken up for me back then, it would've only made things worse. Besides, we were just colleagues, so he had no obligation to defend me. And it's not like he was the only one who stood by and did nothing, right?"

Hendrix was left momentarily speechless by her words.

Noelle didn't wait for his response and continued, "Regardless, I still appreciate what you've done. As for the rest, let's just forget about it. After all, it's my show—getting it aired benefits me, too.

"So, Mr. Freeman, could you please show some mercy? Cut us some slack, and let us move on, okay?"

"Noelle, do you have to talk like this?"

"How would you like me to talk, then? Should I kneel before you again?"

After Noelle finished speaking, the line fell silent on the other end.
