But Hendrix seemed intent on challenging her .

The more she struggled , the tighter his grip became .

The moment he returned to the office , it was an endless strearn of meetings .

It was well past office hours , but the lights in the secretarys office across the hall were still brightly lit.

As soon as Noelle stepped out of the office , someone approached her .

Mrs.

Freeman , youre awake .

Do you need anything ? The overly eager attitude of the person startled Noelle .

She paused for a moment before replying , I just want to go out and find something to eat .

After speaking , she suddenly remembered something and added , Hendrix didnt say I couldnt leave here , did he ? Her question made the persons expression shift subtly .

At first , Noelle thought she had hit the mark , but the next second , they quickly shook their head .

No , no .

Not at all .

But if youd rather not go out , I can run out and get whatever you want .

What would you like to eat ? Thats not necessary .

Ill go myself .

Noelle was just glad that Hendrix didnt confine her this time .

Ever since he had locked her in a hotel room last time , she felt there was nothing he wouldnt do .

After sitting through a grueling flight that lasted over ten hours and spending the rest of the day either in the car +25 BONUS Chapter 358 or in his office , Noelle desperately needed a chance to stretch her legs .

However , despite Amity Groups prime location in the most expensive part of Coppersville , the nearby area was lacking in dining options .
