Chapter 417 Cedric resembled Death itself as he stood at the doorway. When the group from TG Public Relations saw him, they were all left completely dumbfounded. They could not comprehend why someone like Cedric was here.

Tilly began to stammer. "You, you're—" Cedric's expression was completely darkened. "Get out!" She hurriedly explained, "We're actually here for work; we're trying to—" He grabbed a cup from the table and hurled it at them. "I said, get out! Now!" Tilly was unwilling to back down just yet. When she opened her mouth to speak again, her subordinate beside her tugged at her sleeve and said, "Let's just go, Ms. Lozano." The subordinate wondered if she really could not tell just how furious Cedric had looked.

Noelle noticed his expression and quickly turned to Tilly. "You're the manager or whatever of TG Public Relations, right? I don't care who you are, but I will never cooperate with whatever statement you wantto make." Tilly turned back to Noelle in surprise. "Don't you know who he—" Cedric glared at her as a warning. Tilly was forcefully dragged out by her subordinates. They knew that if they stayed around any longer, all three of them would probably be fired tomorrow.

Noelle watched as they left and said, "They were probably hired by Blake. I heard that they're quite the capable bunch, with the Greene Corporation backing them and all." Cedric replied with confidence. "You don't need to worry about that. TG Public Relations won't be able to take this job." He placed the food on the table and continued, "Eat up." Noelle looked at him cautiously. "You mean that you'll talk to Magnus?" She knew that Cedric was on good terms with Alfred and Magnus, so he might be able to pull sstrings. She stared at him and continued, "I have an idea." Cedric pulled out a pair of cutleries and placed them in her hand. "What is it?" "I'll hire TG Public Relations to work forinstead. I'll pay them their salaries as usual, and Magnus won't have to worry about all of this. What do you think?" Noelle explained.

Cedric just looked at her and replied, "Eat your meal first." "You don't think it's a good plan?" "I'll talk to Magnus later. You should eat up for now." It was only then that Noelle picked up her cutleries. With her right hand injured, she could only use her left hand to eat. But she soon realized that using her left hand was rather inconvenient as she kept dropping the food. Cedric took the lunchbox from her and fed her. "You finally realize what comes with being injured, huh?" Noelle hesitated for a moment. "Can you squat down a little? You make it look like you're feeding a pet." "You sure have a lot of demands." Despite his words, Cedric still crouched down in front of her.

Noelle glanced at Cedric in front of her while also being slightly evasive. After a few more bites, she shook her head and said, "I can't eat anymore." "Take a good rest," Cedric replied.

Noelle then realized that the three people from before were still standing outside of the room, unwilling to leave just yet. "But the people from TG Public Relations haven't left yet." Ceric casually picked up a napkin and handed it to her. "I'll handle them. You just rest up for now." "But-" "Why don't you rely onfor once, Noelle?"

His gaze at Noelle made her a little flustered. She coughed and turned her head to the side. "But I can't always rely on you." "Why not?" Cedric asked.

His tone made her heart race as she looked at him with suspicion. "But that's not what you said back then."

Cedric had told her to make new friends at the university and to start living a new life He looked at the battered Noelle in front of him and replied, "I regret what I've said now."

He did not want what happened that day to ever happen again. He did not Hedidnot pen again.

want to find her injured and crying in an abandoned building, all alone. Noelle felt her cheeks getting hotter. "Are you confessing to me?" She was not so oblivious as to not notice the change in Cedric's attitude recently.
