Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 182

Noelle might have had a slightly favorable impression of Asher, but now, his image lay shattered at her feet.

The moment he'd seen Team Moriane roll out their military materials, he'd slipped away without a word and shown genuine distrust in her capabilities. If he didn't believe in her, why had he spent 500 million dollars inviting her here in the first place?

She started looking down on his behavior. Not only was he foolish, but he was also irresponsible, and it served him right to be deceived by Lola!

Asher looked troubled. Wringing his hands together, he said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Ms. Lucy, may I come in and talk to you for a moment?"

Noelle raised an eyebrow and coldly turned him down. "Apologies, but no. It's inappropriate for the two of us—a man and a woman—to be alone in a room."

As she folded her arms and blocked the doorway, Asher couldn't see past her into the room. All he could do was anxiously apologize. "There was an emergency, and I didn't mean to leave today. I'm sorry, Ms. Lucy…"

He hadn't expected Noelle to win the second round. To him, Team Moriane was practically invincible, and he doubted Lola could have defeated them even if she'd been here herself.

"Enough. If you have something to say, just go straight to the point." She was tired of his nonsense and hated people who beat around the bush.

His eyes on her flickered with admiration. "I'd like you to teach me modification…"

"Aren't you going a little too far on a wild goose chase, Mr. Miller?" Noelle mocked. "Your girlfriend's Quake, the one with a better fame and reputation than me, yet you want me to teach you. Am I hearing things?

"Besides, I don't take students, and modding's just my hobby. I've got another round tomorrow, and I'm exhausted from today. Please leave if that's all you want to say."

She wasn't the most easy-going person.

Asher froze, then realized how rude and presumptuous he'd been. She'd worked all day, so he shouldn't have disturbed her at this hour.

As he hurriedly apologized, Noelle shut the door in his face, just in time for him to hear a male voice from inside ask, "Did you get rid of him?"

The voice sounded strangely familiar. Before Asher could listen more and make sense of it, the door was firmly shut and completely isolated him outside.

A strange pang of jealousy stirred in his chest. For a fleeting second, he subconsciously thought how great it'd be if she were Quake and his girlfriend. But as soon as the idea surfaced in his mind, he quickly shook his head.
