“I refuse! After all, he had already said that he would come today! As for everything you said, I've considered all of that the night before! That is the reason why I arranged to meet him at the hotel entrance!” noel said.
With her beauty and how thorough she was with the details, it was hard not to call Noelle a goddess.
As Yulisa had said, Noelle had considered that Gerald might have never set foot in a five-star hotel like this before. With that in mind, he had a feeling that he would definitely feel a little embarrassed and depressed. Therefore, Noel told her to meet him at the hotel entrance so that they could enter together!
However, even though they had agreed to meet at nine that morning, it was now close to ninety and forty but Gerald was still nowhere to be seen! In fact, she hasn't even read Noelle's messages on WhatsApp!
Because of all that, Noel really couldn't help but wonder if Gerald really wasn't going to come.
She also remembered she mentioned that she would prepare a special gift for her friend. Who's that friend? Could it be that it was a girl close to him? Could it be that Gerald already likes someone other than him?
If Gerald was just an ordinary man, he wouldn't care about that fact at all. However, Gerald was no ordinary person.
He has some positive points, one of them, the biggest is how strong and skilled he is. He is also currently a hero in the minds of some people. In other words, he is an extraordinary person.
It was because of this that Noelle could not help but feel a little entangled every time she thought about whether Gerald really liked her or not.
This is not something extraordinary for girls to think about, especially beautiful ones. It was just something that happened and was completely understandable.
Just then, Preston, Gracie, and Yulisa's roommate arrived at the hotel entrance.
“Noel! You there! I'm really sorry for making you wait so long! I entered through a special VIP aisle earlier!”
Earlier when he was a few seconds away from arriving at the hotel entrance, Preston had already seen how anxious Noelle was looking at both sides of the road. Recalling how he had rejected it yesterday and comparing it to how he was today, Preston immediately felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
Afterwards, Gracie then smiled before saying, “Do you know that Preston brought you a birthday present, Noelle? Also, when I had just planned to call you over the phone earlier, Preston kept insisting that he come down to look for you personally!
"Oh. Thank you, Preston! Anyway, you and mom can go back upstairs now, ” Noelle replied with a brief smile on Preston.
Hearing that, Preston's face instantly turned pale! Even Gracie was a little surprised. Something is wrong with his daughter…
Hasn't he been waiting for Preston?
“I'm just waiting for my friend.. I wonder why he hasn't come!” noelle replied without considering her words too much.
"A friend? …Noelle, is that her ..?” ask Gracia again.
However, instead of answering, Noelle simply walked further to the curb to see why Gerald had still not come.
Seeing that, Gracie then turned to Yulisa before asking, “Yulisa, actually you two are waiting for who?”
With that, Yulisa then started telling her everything, starting from when she asked Gerald for help to take some pictures for them.
After hearing about everything that had happened, Gracie finally understood that the person her daughter was waiting for was just a poor person!
Preston—who had listened to Yurisa as she explained—found herself taking a deep breath, her jealousy clearly visible on her face.
Seeing the change in expression on her face, Gracie instantly gritted her teeth as well. And here he thought that his daughter knew better! Shouldn't he be well aware that Preston is far more important than Gerald when it comes to solving their current family dilemma?
Enraged in anger, Gracie then walked straight to Noelle, reprimanding her viciously.
…
Moving back to Gerald, after receiving Noelle's invitation last night, she placed great importance on the event. Therefore, he had been well prepared to go to the banquet since early in the morning.
According to his estimation back then, he should have arrived—with his car—even before eight thirty.
Instead of driving a luxury or sports car, Gerald chose to drive a regular car.
This was because after resolving her misunderstanding with Noelle, she realized that she did not need to use any money or interest to build their relationship. The only thing he needed to do was to attend his birthday banquet and give him the gifts he had meticulously prepared. Once that was done, everything else would flow smoothly.
Personally, Gerald himself found it rather disgusting to drive a luxury car, only to show off his wealth.
Noelle is not the same as Cundrie.
