When that happened, he could step in to help her. Then, perhaps Noelle would stay with the Liddells and even rejoin his team.
Lucas regretted so much and longed for a chance to reset everything. He thought this might be that opportunity. Since Lucas didn't expose her, Xenia quickly seized the moment. "Lucas, let's go. Donovan should be here soon." Lucas stayed quiet and followed her out of the room. Meanwhile, Noelle sat at her computer, glancing at the open PPT on the screen. Without hesitation, she shut it down.
Soon, the Maple Enterprise team arrived. The team leader walked up to Noelle and said, "Mr. Parham mentioned he's busy and won't be able to make it. He asked us to handle everything ourselves."

However, she figured it must have been a last-minute work emergency and didn't overthink it.

Donovan leaned over her desk and firmly said, "Here's an opportunity for you. Admit your mistakes now, and I'll cover all the expenses your team needs. How about that?" Noelle lifted her gaze and sneered, "Keep your pathetic offer to yourself. Don't embarrasswith pocket change." Her icy confidence left Donovan glaring at her intensely. "Fine. You're asking for it. I'll make sure you lose so badly you'll have no choice but to admit defeat." Noelle remained unshaken. "We'll see who comes out on top," she retorted.

Noelle sat poised and unaffected. However, the Maple Enterprise team appeared visibly uneasy.
They were well aware that the Liddells wielded considerable power in Yasnia, far surpassing Maple Enterprise in both strength and resources. They were all surprised that Noelle could maintain such composure in front of Donovan.
The team leader leaned closer and whispered, "Noelle, don't you think you were a little too bold? They're a big company with real power."
Another colleague hesitated before asking softly, "Do you know-Donovan personally or do you have skind of history with him?" Noelle gave a brief nod. "Yes, we have shistory." There was no way she would bow down to Donovan.
