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 schild's gwhere 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.

After Frank left and got into his car, he pulled out his phone and sent Noelle a message. "How was your first day at the company? If anyone bullies you, tellright away." en Noelle had just returned to her apartment. She saw his message, glanced at it, and felt no particular emotion, so she didn't reply.

After eating, she lay on the bed, resting. Without thinking too much, she opened the chat window with Cedric. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but send him a message. "Dr. Greene, what are you doing?" After sending the message, she stared at her phone screen nervously. She felt a bit strange about this.

After taking a shower, she still hadn't received a reply from Cedric.

She sighed. Was this a bit too obvious? She regretted sending the message.

That night, Noelle didn't sleep well, and when she woke up the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes. She noticed that Cedric still hadn't replied. Feeling down, she got up, changed clothes, and went to the branch office to work.

When she arrived at the company, she opened her computer and began writing code. She had tested the software yesterday and had a rough idea of the issue's details. Although she had dealt with this problem in her previous life, it had been a long time, so she needed to test it again.

"Newbie, you're here pretty early today. Do you regret not attending dinner yesterday and want to show off today?" Noelle completely ignored him.

Isaac slammed his hand on the desk in frustration. "Hey, I'm talking to you! What's with your attitude?"

"I'll match whatever attitude you have. The dinner gathering wasn't mandatoryol can choose not to go!" Her reply was firm.

The colleagues in the office at the toverheard the co all Woelle athon, and seemed that young people nowadays were all about stapup for themselves in the workplace.

Humiliated and enraged, Isaac snapped, "Stop acting tough, newbie. Did you finish organizing the E documents I gave you yesterday?"
