Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Leia felt a little intimidated by Harleys stare.
She flinched, lowering her voice as she asked, Harley, what... whats wrong? It wasnt her fault Noelle left this time, and she hadnt done anything.
Harley surely wouldnt take his anger out on her again, right? Harley clenched his fists tightly.
Logic told him that Leia hadnt done anything wrong this time.
But something inside him made him feel like Noelle leaving was somehow tied to Leia .
After all, why would Noelle suddenly walk off? If it wasnt for this woman dragging things out, would Noelle have left? Damn it.
Every tLeia appeared, something bad happened.
The more Harley thought about it, the angrier he became.
He hadnt seen Noelle in two weeks and had planned to take her out for sgood food, hoping to get closer.
But because of Leia, everything was ruined.
Uh, Harley.
Leia saw Harleys expression darken and felt a mix of fear and frustration.
She reached out, wanting to comfort him, but he recoiled in disdain, coolly staring at her.
Since Noelle left, theres no point in having pasta now, Go find your friends, Harley said Hatly.
Leia froze, feeling as though a cold bucket of water had been poured over her.
She could hardly breathe, her surprise and disbelief suffocating her.

Theres i no need, Harley replied, his handsface as cold as ice, Leia, were not that close With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Leis standing there, her heart chilled even in the heat of summer.
She was overwhelmed with sadness, jealousy, and anger, unable to understand why Harley treated her so differently than Noelle.
What did Noelle have that made her deserve all of this? Leia ! A clear, pleasant voice called from behind her. Leis turned around to see Eli, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She was on the verge of crying Ell she choked out.
Whats wrong! Eli asked, seeing Leia on the brink of tears.
He hurried over to her.
He had cto find Noelle and Leia, planning to take them out for spasta.
Noelle hadnt been at school for the past two weeks, and Eli had hoped to help her catch up and fit in.
He figured that by spending twith them, people would treat Noelle more kindly But now, when he arrived, he found Leia crying, and Noelle was nowhere to be seen.
Wheres Noelle ? Why are you are you the only one here? Eli asked, scanning the area.
Leia, seeing how concerned Eli was for Noelle, felt her anger flare.
That bitch had already stolen Harleys attention, and now she was even taking Elis care away from her. She gritted her teeth.
Eli, Noelle went to find Nicolas At the mention of Nicolas, Elis expression darkened immediately.
Arent you supposed to be in class this afternoon? Why would she go off to find Nicolas in the middle of the day! I dont know, she just left without saying anything * 6x D DreRead Romance ... Open Chapter 72 Leia lowered her head slightly, sounding aggrieved as she continued, We were supposed to have pasta together,her, and Harley but she just left without a word, and Harley, feeling stood up, left alone.
brow furrowed deeper.
He had always thought Noelle was just naive, unaware of social nuances.
But now, what she was doing had completely changed his perception.
For a man, she was skipping classes and breaking promises, leaving Leia to pick up the slack.
Was it just Nicolas for her? Had she forgotten about everything else Leia noticed Ells growing anger and felt a twisted sense of satisfaction.
She sighed tically, saying, El.
I always thought if Noelle was happy.
that was enough.
But now, seeing how shes dropping everything for Nicolas, I dont think its right.
Shes acting like she has no self respect, all wrapped up in a relationship.
Who knows what shell do for a man in the future, right: Eli was troubled by Leias words, which echoed his own concerns.
He feared Nicolas had a strong hold over Noelle, and if things continued this way.
she might cut ties with her family for him.
Leia saw that Ell wasnt responding and continued.
Eli, maybe you should call Noelle and tell her to cback? Eli snorted.
Forget it.
If her hearts with Nicolas, even if I call, she wont cback Then what should we do! Leia asked, sounding tired.
We still have class in the afternoon.
Shes not going to skip that for Nicolas, is she? Elis face darkened as his muscles tightened He gritted his teeth and said, Forget it, Leia, Dont worry alxout it.
If Noelle wants to ruin herself, let her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIll take you to eat pasta.
You wanted to join the student council, right? Afterward, III take you there! Alright.
Eli Leia replied, flashing him a sweet smile, her eyes glinting with a spark of triumph .
Though she couldnt win Harleys attention yet, at least she had managed to make Ell dislike Noelle even more.
That wasnt such a loss.
When Noelle arrived at Nicolass company, Bryan, the secretary, immediately escorted her to the top floor. In the company, Nicolass identity was shrouded in mystery.
Only the top executives had seen him in person, and the rest of the employees had no idea what he m looked like When Noelle arrived at the CEOS office, Nicolas had just finished a meeting. Elly.
Nicolass deep, soothing voice rang out.
Noelle turned to see her tall, handsome, suit clad Nick.
The moment she saw him, a wave of frustration overwhelmed her.
Without thinking, she ran straight to him.
Before Nicolas could react, she crashed into his chest like a child reuniting with her father, calling out.
Nick ... Nicolas was pushed back by the impact, taking a couple of steps, but he immediately wrapped his arms around Noelle, stabilizing himself. He gently ruffled her hair, his voice full of tenderness as he asked, Whats wrong? You look so upset.
Hmm? Noelle had been feeling frustrated, but now Nicolass conden, she suddenly felt condenseringom the weight of her emotions. She clutched his silk shirt tightly, her face scrunched up in both frustration and indignation as she poured her heart out.
Nick.
Im so angry right now... 2/2
