Chapter 88
Chapter 88 The weekend came to an end .
On Monday morning , Eli was the one driving Noelle and Leia to school.It was a familiar scene .
On the first day of school , Eli had also driven his two younger sisters .
Back then , Leia had effortlessly taken the front passenger seat , chatting and laughing with Eli while completely ignoring Noelle in the back .
But this time , things played out very differently .
Leia instinctively moved toward the front seat , just as she had before .
But before she could get there , Eli had already opened the passenger door and turned to the girl still busy stuffing a chicken drumstick into her mouth .
Noelle , whats taking you so long ? Hurry up .
Leia froze in place .
Hearing Eli call her , Noelle quickly stepped past Leia and ran toward the car .
Coming ! Eli took one look at Noelles greasy hands and immediately recoiled .
His neat freak tendencies kicked in full force : Could you not just grab the drumstick with your bare hands ? he said , full of disdain .
Your hands are covered in oil , and get in my car like that ? Eli , you dont get it , Noelle said with exaggerated seriousness .
This is the best way to eat a drumstick .
I dont care , Eli shot back , still looking disgusted .
As long as your hands are greasy , youre not getting in my car .
How about I go back and wash them ? Noelle suggested .
you actually think you can to uphold .
Elis face darkened .
Go back ? Do you have any idea how late we already are ? Im the student council president .
I have a reputation Youre so annoying , Eli , Noelle grumbled , pouting dramatically .
Clean them or not ? What do you want me to do ? Fine , I just wont take your car .
You can go without me .
だ She turned around , ready to head back inside , not just to wash her hands , but to grab another couple of drumsticks while she was at it .
Before she could take a step , Eli grabbed the back of her collar and yanked her right back .
Oh no , you dont .
What now ? she huffed .
Eli dragged her toward the car , pulled out a water bottle , twisted the cap open , and said , Hands .
Now .
Noelle obediently held out her hands .
As he poured water over them , he muttered , Wash them properly .
Noelle muttered under her breath , Eli , theres no soap .
My hands wont be completely clean , so I still cant get in your car .
Shut up .
Eli shot her a glare .
Once he emptied the bottle , he grabbed a pack of wet wipes from the car and , holding her hands carefully , wiped each of her fingers clean one by one .
Classic Eli .
His cleanliness obsession knows no bounds , she wondered .
By the time he was done , Noelles hands were spotless and fresh , with not a trace of grease left .
Wow .
Noelle turned her hands over , marveling at how clean they were .
Eli , youre amazing ! You actually got them clean .
Eli tossed the trash into a storage bag and rolled his eyes .
Enough talking .
Get in the car .
Noelle climbed in with a grin and teasingly asked , Eli , if my hands get dirty again , will you clean them for me ? Keep dreaming , Eli snapped .
Just get in.
Youre such a tsundere , Eli , Noelle giggled .
But I know you will .
Eli shot her a side eye .
Where do you even learn these weird words ? The two of them got in , one after the other .
It was only then that Eli noticed Leia still standing there .
He looked up at her .
Leia , are you getting in or what ? 1/3 Extra Check in Vouchers Ad Free Reading Exclusive Profile Badge Chapter 88 Leias lips pressed together slightly as her gaze flickered between Eli and Noelle .
Her expression shifted , unreadable .
Then , in an instant , she flashed a sweet smile , stepped forward , and said , Coming .
So , Elis heart completely belongs to Noelle now ? Leia thought.
In that case … from now on , were enemies .
.
Because of Elis public statement , many students in Noelles class started to switch sides .
The students who used to revolve around Leia , trying to win her favor , were now shifting toward Noelle .
Between classes , there were always a couple of students coming over to chat with her .
Harley , as always , remained firmly seated beside Noelle .
But now , their once private space was completely gone .
He hadnt expected so much to happen in the short time he was away that afternoon .
After leaving at lunchtime that day , Harley had been upset about Noelle going to see Nicolas , so hed skipped the rest of his classes .
But later , he found out that in the very same afternoon , Noelles brother , Eli , had suddenly shown up in their class and personally cleared up all the rumors .
Speaking of those rumors , just thinking about them made Harley furious .
He hadnt even realized such ridiculous gossip had been circulating behind their backs .
Some people had actually been saying Noelle was an illegitimate child .
How the hell did these idiots even get into Eston University ? Do they all have connections or something ? he thought in exasperation .
At the same time , Harley was frustrated with himself .
If he hadnt been sulking and skipping class , he couldve been the one to shut down those rumors first .
Not only would that have put an end to the nonsense , but it wouldve also brought him and Noelle closer .
Now , not only had he missed that opportunity , but there were also a bunch of annoying people constantly hovering around Noelle .
Noelle , do you have a favorite group ? Before class started , a few girls had gathered around her , chattering away .
Group ? Noelle blinked her bright eyes and took a sip of her milkshake before asking , What do you mean ? You know , like an idol group or a band .
One of the girls explained .
Oh .
No , I dont really have a favorite .
Noelle shook her head .
No way ? Then let me introduce you to one ! the girl said excitedly .
She pulled out a magazine and eagerly recommended , This group , The Legend ! Theyre not that famous yet , but theyre super hardworking .
I swear , if you start following them , you wont regret it .
Really ? Noelle took the magazine and glanced at it .
That was when she noticed that the group was signed under Radiance Media , Nicks entertainment company .
So , theyre with Radiance Media ? she mused .
Nicolas had told her before that everything he had belonged to her , too .
Since he owned Radiance Media , that technically made her another owner .
Looking at the celebrities under his company now , she couldnt help but feel an unexpected sense of attachment like they were her own people .
She even felt a hint of protectiveness toward them .
Yes , yes ! The girls nodded enthusiastically , continuing to gush .
Radiance Media is one of the most influential entertainment companies in Reniam City .
Theyve produced so many top tier artists over the years .
With The Legend under their wing , its only a matter of time before they blow up .
Noelle smiled and casually said , I heard their company is releasing a new song soon .
That was something Nicolas had mentioned to her over the weekend .
The moment Radiance Media received the ten songs she had composed , they immediately started production , assigning them to different artists , preparing music videos , and setting up a full platform release .
Whoa , Noelle , you sure know a lot ! The girls were pleasantly surprised .
Yeah , yeah ! Their official social media said theyre dropping a new song this month ! 2/3 Extra Check in Vouchers Ad Free Reading Exclusive Profile Badge 1:05 PM Chapter 88 O Hope it does well , Noelle said lightly .
After all , Nick had paid 3 million dollars for just one of her songs ; if it didnt turn a profit , that would be a disaster .
Oh , it definitely will ! Once you listen to their songs , youll see ; they just need the right moment to blow up .
The girl sounded confident .
Just as the conversation was heating up , an excited gasp came from the Entertainment to record a song ? Thats insane ! other side of the room .
Oh my god ! Leia , you vited by Phoenix 3/3 Comment
