Love Can't Come Back, But My Life Can

The next day, Noelle stood outside the hotel.

The message on her phone was from Tommy three minutes ago. [Today’s dinner is very important. Wife, don’t be late.]

Noelle remembered this dinner and if nothing unexpected happened, Camilla would start to make trouble again.

She found the box skillfully and sure enough, when she opened the door, she heard Camilla crying.

“I just think that peeling hairy crabs will dirty your hands, which is too unsightly, so I changed to mango bobo, which is really delicious. You can try it and it can also refresh your breath.” Camilla wiped away the non-existent tears and glanced at Tommy from time to time.

The faces of several partners’ bosses were not very good, but they did not get angry for Tommy’s sake.

She thought Tommy would scold this ignorant assistant, but he just smiled lightly and said, “This little assistant is ignorant, but she is also kind.”

“What a kind person.” Noelle’s voice suddenly sounded.

She sat down in high heels and the aura around her even stunned Tommy for a moment.

Why was Noelle today… seemingly different?

Noelle’s cold eyes fell on Tommy. She used to think that Tommy was just greedy for a temporary novelty, but she didn’t expect him to be really stupid.

The party A invited today was the one that Baldwin Group had been cooperating with for more than half a year.

Success or failure depended on this dinner.

“Noelle!”

Tommy gritted his teeth and whispered, “It’s because you came too late. You should be responsible for these dishes. Camilla has just graduated for a few years. How can she handle these things?”

It was this sentence again.

In the previous life, no matter what mistakes Camilla made, Tommy would use this sentence to excuse her.

He regarded Camilla’s slowness as naivety and her stupidity as cuteness.

But he forgot that in the early days of starting a business, he hugged Noelle more than once and sighed. “Noelle, fortunately I have you. You are the most vigorous and decisive woman I have ever seen. With you, I am not afraid of anything.”

Now her vigorous and decisiveness had become an unacceptable strength in Tommy’s mouth and Camilla’s stupidity had become precious.

“I can take the blame. As a reward, how about giving me a house?”

Noelle took out the contract prepared in advance and handed it to Tommy with only the blank area for signature.

“You! At this time–”

“Mr. Baldwin, I really didn’t mean it. Did I mess it up again?” Camilla’s delicate voice sounded.

Tommy’s face changed immediately. He comforted her softly, “It’s not your fault. These things are not your responsibility.” He signed without blinking.

After getting what she wanted, Noelle was in a good mood. She waved to the waiter. “Bring me the good wine I have stored. I will apologize to you on behalf of Baldwin Group.” Noelle stood up with the wine glass.

The bosses were a little less angry and stood up.

But a moment later, what was handed to Noelle was Sprite and Coke.

Her face darkened. “Did you make a mistake? I want the wine, the wine I stored.”

The waiter lowered his head. “Mrs. Stephens, it’s... Miss Spencer said that all your wine was taken away and replaced with these.”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Camilla. She shrank her head and hid behind Tommy, blinking her tearful eyes, looking very innocent. “I just think strong alcohol is harmful to the body and we are all old. I didn’t expect that I would do something bad with good intentions.”

In one sentence, everyone was offended.

The bosses completely lost their patience and shook their heads and left. Before leaving, they took away the contract that only needed a signature.

“Camilla!” With a scolding, Noelle’s slap landed firmly on Camilla’s face.

The next moment, Tommy, who had been silent, stood up suddenly and slapped her back without hesitation. “Are you crazy?! Noelle, what’s the point of you being so aggressive? Camilla is just young, unlike you, who is a seasoned veteran in the workplace. You can’t be jealous of her just because she is innocent!”

Noelle was so angry that she laughed.

Just as she was about to say something, Camilla suddenly fell into Tommy’s arms, holding her stomach. She looked painful and sweating.

“Camilla!”

Tommy picked up Camilla and rushed to the hospital.
