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 time Leia 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 some good 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 .
She bit her lip , unwilling to accept it , and asked , Harley , why ? Does it mean we cant have pasta just because Noelles not here ? Theres i no need , Harley replied , his handsome face 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 come to find Noelle and Leia , planning to take them out for some pasta .
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 time with 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 Dreame Read Romance ... Open Chapter 72 Leia lowered her head slightly , sounding aggrieved as she continued , We were supposed to have pasta together me , 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 dramatically , 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 come back ? Eli snorted .
Forget it .
If her hearts with Nicolas , even if I call , she wont come back 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 .
Ill take you to eat pasta .
You wanted to join the student council , right ? Afterward , Ill 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 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 , hearing Nicolass concern , she suddenly felt 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
