Chapter 195

“Brandon?” Noelle spoke a lot, but Brandon did not respond. She could not help but ask, “Why don’t you speak?”

For some reason, if Brandon didn't speak for long, Noelle would feel uneasy.

Brandon came back to his senses and smiled at Noelle. "Noelle, I’m very happy to see that you get along well with your family. Although the Andersen family are not good people in the beginning, they change gradually. If you are sincere to them, they will be the same to you. I look forward to the day when you guys will be honest with each other."

From Brandon’s tone, Noelle felt that Brandon would not order her to attack anyone from the Anderson family.

She heaved a sigh of relief again and smiled at Brandon. "Brandon, don’t worry, I’ll complete the mission."

“Okay,” Brandon smiled, looking kind.

Noelle smiled again. "Brandon, is there anything else?"

Brandon said, "No, I just wanted to inform you to do whatever Bennett asks you to do. The laboratory allows you to do so."

"I know I cooperate with Bennett," said Noelle.

“Alright, go back then,” said Brandon.

“Okay, goodbye, Brandon!”

“Goodbye, Noelle.”

After ending the call with Brandon, Noelle immediately returned to the car.

She smiled at Nicolas. "Nick, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“It’s okay,” Nicolas replied.

His gaze swept across and landed on the necklace around Noelle’s neck. Then, he raised his hand as if he wanted to touch it.

This action frightened Noelle. She quickly blocked Nicolas and asked, “Nick, what are you doing!”

Seeing Noelle’s nervous reaction, Nicolas was sure that there was indeed something wrong with this necklace. Perhaps it was related to...

He smiled as he retracted his hand: “Elly babe, I remember buying you some necklaces before, right? Why don’t you wear them!”

“Necklace…” Noelle was stunned.

She thought for a moment. That seemed to be the case.

Nick bought her a lot of things when she and her mother went to the mall with Lela. After that, when they met, Nick would prepare a small gift for her, including many beautiful necklaces.

She gripped the necklace tightly and smiled awkwardly at Nicolas, saying, "I still prefer this necklace. Hahaha..."

“Oh!” Nicolas raised his eyebrows.

“Yes,” Noelle nodded crazily, as if the faster she nodded, the more credible it would be.

However, in Nicolas's opinion, her actions were simply trying to cover it up. Instead of dispelling his suspicions, it made it even worse. Little fool.

He had taught her how to be calm, but she failed to learn.

All was written on her face. Yet there was nothing he could do.

Since Noelle didn’t want him to know, Nicolas could only pretend that he didn’t know anything. He was afraid if he pressured her, she would avoid him.

Sigh. Nicolas sighed silently.

Then, he raised his hand and covered the top of Noelle’s head with his broad palm. He laughed and said, “If you like this necklace, wear it. I’ll prepare some earrings and rings next time.”

“Okay,” Noelle nodded and quietly looked at Nicolas.

Seeing that Nicolas did not seem to pursue this matter anymore, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The next day.

After class, Noelle was prepared to go to the canteen with her classmates.

“Noelle, there’s a new chef in the canteen recently. The food is delicious. Yesterday’s crispy chicken was really amazing!”

The girl who was walking beside Noelle described the food vividly, which made Noelle’s mouth water. Her eyes lit up as she quickly asked. “Tina, is that crispy chicken really that delicious?”

“Of course!”

Tina Miller nodded heavily in affirmation. Then, she said regretfully. “But Noelle, you always go out to eat. You haven’t tried much food in the canteen. What a loss!”

“Go, go, go!” Noelle hurriedly said, “Let’s go to the canteen to eat today.”

“Sure!” Tina adjusted her glasses and said with a smile. “I’ll treat you today!”

“Aye!” Noelle was surprised. She looked at Tina and said, “Really? Thank you, Tina!”

As she spoke, Noelle went up to hug Tina.

Tina was one of Noelle’s first friends in the class. Previously, Noelle had a bad reputation and many students disliked her, but Tina had always been on her side. That was how they became friends.

However, this time, Tina pushed her face to the side and said, “Although I’m treating you to a meal, it’s not free.”

“Huh?” Noelle was puzzled.

Tina’s eyes sparkled as she said, “You’re good friends with Stanley from The Legend, right? Can you get him to sign some autographed photos for me?”

“Again?” Noelle looked at Tina and asked, “Tina, you asked for a lot last time.”

Tina smiled and said, “Well, I’ve already given them away. Can I have more?”

“Sure!” That was an easy task for Noelle.

Noelle said heroically, “Leave it to me. I’ll get you as many as you want?”

“Really?” Tina’s eyes lit up. “I remember that. I’ll bring you a hundred postcards tomorrow. Remember to get him to sign all of them!”

Noelle’s mind was now on the crispy chicken. She smiled and said, “It’s a piece of cake! No problem!”

Stanley, who was still practicing his song in the recording studio, had no idea about this.

After eating in the canteen, Noelle was completely captivated by the crispy chicken.

She said emotionally, “Tina, you’re right. The crispy chicken is really delicious!”

“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Tina smiled and reminded her again, “Remember the autographs.”

“I know, I know!” said Noelle.

On the other end, Harley had just returned from a meeting at the Student Union.

They saw Noelle and Tina walking on the other side of the aisle.

At this moment, a classmate teased, “Tina and Noelle are really close. They are together again?”

Harley had no impression of Tina.

Although Tina often surrounded Noelle, Harley’s eyes were always glued to Noelle. He said, “That’s nice. Noelle should have more friends in school.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the classmate beside him snorted, “Harley, I guess you don’t know what Tina did, do you!”

Chapter 193

Harley's reaction was immediate. He looked sideways at that person and asked, “What do you mean?”
