GoodNovelChapter 708 Hendrix's voice was low, and when it cthrough the video call, it carried an extra layer of magnetism.
Noelle paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you been drinking?" "How did you know?" Hendrix chuckled, then showed her where he was. "Look. The dinner's not over yet." He was standing in a hallway, with classic oil paintings hanging on the walls. To the side was a slightly ajar private room door.
Noelle fell silent, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Don't worry. I'll be leaving soon," Hendrix said, as if reading her thoughts. "The people inside are from Tilwick's television station. I needed to discuss smatters with them and thought I might as well treat them to dinner." He then added, "They're all men." Noelle let out a soft laugh, as if she found his clarification amusing.

Noelle frowned. "Have you handled everything?" "Yeah, it's pretty much done," Hendrix replied. "The construction team has identified the person responsible, and the victim's family has been taken care of.
The TV station will be covering all this tomorrow." "If it's all handled, then you should be able to cback now." Hendrix paused, then said, "If I go back... Well, Rosie's there, right?" "What?" "I mean, the scenery here is really nice. I could show you around. But Rosie has school, doesn't she?" Noelle finally understood what he was getting at.
"I'm not going," she said.
Hendrix looked down in disappointment.
Noelle was planning to ask him to cback once he was done. But knowing him, she knew he'd just tease her if she said that. So, she simply said, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up now." "Go ahead. Get srest," Hendrix said.
Noelle pressed her lips together but eventually ended the call.
Not long after, Hendrix sent her a few photos of his car ride back to the hotel. Then, he sent her a flight itinerary- it was for the next evening.
Noelle only replied with one word, "Okay." But immediately after that, she sent a message to Levi, asking him to have the car ready tomorrow evening so she could pick Hendrix up at the airport.

It was already late in the night then, so Levi didn't respond. Noelle didn't mind, though After sending the message, she turned off her phone and went to sleep. The next day, during dinner, Noelle mentioned her plan to pick up Hendrix. To her surprise, Rosie said she wanted to tag along.
Noelle was about to agree when Beatrice interjected, "You have school tomorrow, Rosie. The flight doesn't afrive until 9:00 pm. By the tyou get back, it'll be late you won't be able to wake up on ttomorrow." Rosie's head drooped in disappointment.
Seeing this, Noelle quickly said, "It's fine. We'll probably be back at 10:00 pm. It shouldn't be too—" "No. You two can go straight back to Roselle Court after picking him up. I'll take Rosie there after school tomorrow," Beatrice said.
Noelle immediately caught on to what Beatrice was implying. Her m words caught in her throat. She instinctively wanted to argue, but as she opened her mouth, the tips of her ears turned red first. Noticing this, Beatrice smiled even more. "Now then, you'd best get going. Don't worry, Rosie's going to be just fine here." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
