No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 117

Xenia's smile froze on her face. She thought that they were there for her. But it turned out they were only interested in Noelle… That bitch.

She forced a smile. "She left right after work."

"Didn't you invite her?"

"I did, but she didn't want to have dinner with me, and she's not really getting along with the company staff," she explained with a pout. "I really tried my best."

Lucas softened a bit. "I know Noelle has a bad temper, but I didn't expect her to actually go to the branch office to solve that problem. I thought she wouldn't last long."

Frank sighed with a bitter smile. "I'm the one who convinced her to go. Right now, no one else can fix the firewall issue."

"Frank, Noelle is just doing this on purpose. Why insist on sending her to the company? We can forget the project if it doesn't work out."

"We've invested too much money in this project just to abandon it. This is business, not some child's game where you can act on a whim.

"Your live-streaming business is also losing money. You should think about how you will explain things to Donovan after losing the finals."

Frank left, disappointed. Since Noelle wasn't there, he didn't see the need to stay for dinner.

Xenia's face darkened as she realized Noelle was more important than she had imagined.

Frustrated, Lucas muttered, "Frank is getting increasingly biased toward Noelle."

Xenia clenched her teeth. "After all, Noelle is his biological sister. He will definitely go soft on her."

"Even if Noelle is his biological sister, she can't just do whatever she wants. I don't believe she can actually solve that problem."

Lucas still didn't believe Noelle had any real ability to handle the project. He thought Frank had just given her the title for the show.

Ultimately, Xenia took him to dinner with the company staff, enjoying the spotlight.
