The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 691

Ruth didn't say anything else, nor did she stop Noelle from leaving.

Noelle simply picked up her bag and walked out. As the private room door closed, Noelle caught a glimpse of Ruth from the corner of her eye.

Ruth was looking down, admiring her newly bought bracelet. Her relaxed demeanor was a stark contrast to the suspicious look she had given Noelle earlier.

Noelle could understand her feelings. After all, as Ruth had pointed out, Noelle's claim of wanting to take down Hendrix seemed almost absurd.

First, considering Hendrix's status and abilities, there was no way she could threaten his position simply by relying on his trust in her.

Second, there were her feelings for him. Given the circumstances, no one would believe she wouldn't waver—making Ruth's skepticism entirely reasonable. That was precisely why Noelle's moment of hesitation just now had only made her seem more convincing.

If possible, Noelle would have preferred not to use such a clumsy excuse to deceive Ruth. But at the time, if she had simply said she didn't care about the past and even took the initiative to agree to the collaboration, Ruth would have been even more suspicious.

Thus, Noelle had no choice but to come up with this excuse. Regardless, the matter had been smoothed over—for now.

Noelle had obtained the signed documents from Ricky and was about to deliver them to Hendrix when she suddenly received a friend request.

It was from Ricky. Noelle found it strange but accepted the request anyway.

Ricky quickly sent a voice message. "It's me. I really can't thank you enough for this."

Noelle frowned, doubting that Ricky had reached out just to thank her. Sure enough, a second voice message followed.
