Chapter 310 As Noelle walked into the office, her gaze moved past Alfred to the man seated on the sofa. To her surprise, Cedric was there, too.
Alfred stepped aside with a welcoming gesture. "Cin. Let's pause everything to celebrate Noelle for her outstanding performance today!" Noelle entered with a smile. "Liddell Corporation has lost its bid qualification. This time, we're guaranteed to win." "Nelly, that shoulder throw of yours was incredible," Alfred added.

"At the gym. I've taken a lot of classes," she replied.
Cedric remembered she had mentioned going to the gym, but he hadn't expected it to be for boxing.
Noelle quickly changed the topic. "Should we have the lawyers handle Liddell Corporation's plagiarism of our ideas?" "Of course," Alfred said. "Congratulations to you for becoming our youngest partner!" He handed her a document. "Take a look. Letknow if you have any special requests for your benefits." Noelle glanced at the contract. "You're makinga partner?" "Exactly. After your outstanding performance, I'm sure big companies will try to poach you. I need to make sure we keep you here." Noelle was a bit surprised. After reading through the document, she signed it. She wasn't losing out. Alfred casually handed the contract to Cedric. "Alright, let's have a meeting." Noelle noticed Cedric holding her contract. To her surprise, he joined them on their way to the meeting room. Noelle sat with the tech team directly across from Cedric. She hadn't expected him to participate in the meeting. It seemed like Cedric was also a shareholder of the company.
The team leader leaned in, whispering, "Noelle, why do you keep staring at our company's consultant, Mr. Greene?" Noelle snapped out of her thoughts and quickly looked away, her face flushing slightly. She explained, "I was just zoning out for a moment." Noelle turned to the team leader. "Did you just refer to him as your company's consultant?" "Yes, he seems to be the company's consultant. His identity is quite mysterious, but he's not a shareholder. He's very close to Mr. Parham, though." Noelle looked up again and saw Cedric lounging in his chair, holding the contract she had just signed. His long fingers rested on the paper, rhythmically tapping it. Noelle's mind wandered. The new semester must have started by now. Why hadn't he returned to school yet? After the meeting ended, everyone left, leaving just the three of them.
Alfred suggested, "How about we grab a meal together? Let's go to L Bistro and book a table!" Noelle stood up. "I'll pass. I have sthings to handle at the base." Samuel had left quite a mess.

Alfred didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at Cedric. "Mr Greene don't you have anything to say about the ideas Noelle proposed?"
Noelle felt a bit nervous and looked at Cedric. Cedric leaned back in his chair, looking at her "Your deas are e forward thinking. You've considered everything, including how to bring this project to fruition. That's impressive." Hearing his praise, Noelle felt a mix of emotions.
"Mr. Greene, care to summarize?" Alfred asked.
"When this project is fully launched, Maple Enterprise will quickly take over the market. We'll be the pioneers leading the way."
Noelle's eyes stayed on Cedric. His words filled her with anticipation. For the first time, she felt an eagerness to take on the challenge. Noelle hesitated before asking, "You've been on business trips here for a while, but what about your job at the school?" "I resigned," Cedric replied. His fingers hovered over her non the contract, tracing it slowly.
Noelle's heart skipped a beat.
