Chapter 690 In the restaurant, Ricky was eagerly pouring wine for Noelle.

I'll personally oversee things at the factory and make sure he's satisfied." Ruth was also seated at the table. She had seen Ricky flatter others before, but she found it particularly unpleasant when the person on the receiving end was Noelle.
Thus, she quickly said, "That's enough. You don't need to keep thanking her. I'm sure this is just a small favor for her." "No, no, I must," Ricky insisted. "Mrs. Freeman, you have no idea how big of a help this is to us. Initially, we-" "It's fine, Mr. Massey," Noelle interrupted with a smile. "Ruth and I have been friends for a long time. Like she said, it was just a small favor. I'm happy I could help." "This is more than just a small favor!" Ricky immediately continued. "You have no idea-just yesterday, my father was still skeptical about my plans. Let's see what he had to say now that I've secured the contract." He broke out into hearty laughter.
Ruth rolled her eyes at him and said, "Alright. Since everything is settled, you should head back to work. I have sthings to discuss with Mrs. Freeman." "What things?" Ricky asked.
Ruth laughed in exasperation. Then, she said sharply, "We've got our own things to talk about. Just go already." Ricky frowned, clearly displeased. But remembering that he owed this opportunity to Ruth, he pushed down his irritation. Then, he managed a smile at Noelle before getting up and leaving.

Noelle took a sip of her wine before asking in return, "What do you mean?" "Did you say last tthat you were planning to-" Noelle nodded. "Yes, but you know how cautious Hendrix is. Even though I'm with him now, he's still not completely open with me. So, can't rush things. But I've already convinced him to letjoin Amity Group through this collaboration with you. As for the rest of the plan, I'll just have to take it slow." Ruth fell silent, narrowing her eyes as she studied Noelle.
Noelle met her gaze for a moment before smiling. "What's the matter? You don't believe me?" "I just find it strange. After all, Hendrix treats you so well now. Many people will kill for your kind of life. Could you really bear to throw it all away?"
Noelle set down her wine glass, then said, "Honestly, no matter what choice & make, it's not like you'll be at N alloss. Didn't your husband just say it? This project is something you both wanted for a while.
"Now that you have the contract in your hand, no matter what happens in the future, you've already got a portion of the profits in your pocket."
Ruth couldn't argue with that. After staring at Noelle for a while, shem finally laughed, as if relieved. "You're right. So, should I be thanking you instead?" "No need for that." Noelle quickly stood up. "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll let you know if anything changes." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
