Chapter 91 Yes, I’m Just That Kind of Person
Caleb had returned to the university to conduct an experiment, leaving the group about 10 minutes ago.
Thomas had overheard Yvette mention the tactical arena activity and deliberately led Noel in that
direction. His intentions were obvious.
Now he was putting on airs, pretending to be hesitant.
Thomas kept nudging Noel with subtle glances.
After a moment, Noel finally replied as he had seen all of Thomas‘ signals, “It’s been a while since I last played Guess I could give it a try.”
Thomas finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alright,” Yvette said, as she asked someone to bring two more sets of gear.
She then persuaded Whitney to join, so that she could accompany her.
“Alright. But don’t blame me if I slow you down,” Whitney agreed.
Once they suited up, the staff divided everyone into two teams.
Whitney unex
after all
unexpectedly ended up on the same team as Noel. It seems she wouldn’t be holding Yvette back
“I don’t want to be on your team!” Yvette protested when she saw Thomas was on her team.
“Who else are you going to team up with? Mr. Howard and Ms. Spencer clearly look like they belong together. Have some sense and don’t split them up,” Thomas murmured, low enough for only Yvette to
hear.
Before Yvette could respond, Thomas quickly announced that he and Noel would be the team captains and started the game.
Thomas was the CEO of the York Group, everyone knew him, and rumors of him being Yvette’s fiancé, no one dared object to his decision.
And so, the game began. After nearly an hour, Thomas‘ team was defeated.
Noel’s team emerged victorious.
Yvette angrily tore off her blue armband. “See, I told you I didn’t want to be on your team! We lose because of you, and you even shot your own teammates. Are you blind?”
“It was just an accident.” He had asked Yvette to stick close, but she had wandered off, choosing instead to stay near another guy.
So, he had taken the opportunity to aim and fire at the guy.
Three accidents in a row? Yvette was exasperated.
In Just that Kind of Person
“There’s no rule that says I can only slip up once.”
Who told her to repeatedly not listen and insist on following others? xxx
Seeing Yvette puffing up in anger, Thomas then pointed at Whitney and said, “Look at Ms. Spencer, she stuck close to Mr. Howard. If you’d done the same, the game might’ve ended differently.”
Whitney felt a bit awkward at the mention. She recalled how Noel hadn’t even glanced her way at the
beginning. Determined not to be a burden, she had done her best to keep up with him.
At one point, she noticed an opponent lying in ambush with their sights set on
Instinctively, she raised her gun to take aim.
Just then, “Bang, bang!” Two shots fired.
Before she could pull the trigger, she was spun around and pulled into a corner.
Noel.
By the time she looked up, both the ambusher and another opponent hiding nearby were eliminated.
The two opponents left the field dejectedly.
Above her, Noel’s cool voice instructed, “Stay here.”
Whitney looked around. It was a good hiding spot, well–concealed from the other team.
Was he keeping her out of the action to avoid her being a liability?
“Fine,” she muttered, pouting slightly, unwilling but unable to refute.
It wasn’t until the broadcast announced that the red team had won that Whitney finally came out of hiding.
After changing back into her regular clothes, she returned to find everyone else had left, except for Noel,
who stood in the distance
His tall figure stood under a tree, sunlight filtered through the branches, casting a warm glow around him,
like tiny golden stars.
Whitney walked over.
“Where are Yvette and Mr. York?”
“Yvette went to i
a meeting, and Thomas went along with her.”
“Actually, Mr. York does like Yvette, doesn’t he?”
Since Thomas was Noel’s friend, he should understand his friend’s thoughts.
When no reply came, Whitney looked up and met with Noel’s mocking smile.
“You seem to be in good spirits considering your upcoming marriage to Damian, enough to meddle in others‘ love lives.”
Whitney’s expression froze. She had just casually asked, mostly because Yvette was her close friend.

3/3
Yet, Noel had jumped at the chance to mock her.
Her smile faded, and she lifted her chin, her tone turned icy. “So, to you, I’m just someone who says one
thing and does another, with no right to ask about anyone else?
“Or maybe you think I’m someone who wavers?
“Or even worse, you see me as a spineless person, clinging to a marriage even after being betrayed?”
As she spoke, Whitney’s eyes gradually reddened, tinged with a bit of self mockery.
“Yes, I’m just that kind of person. So I deserve to be hurt. So go ahead, mock me all you want.”
With that, she turned on her heel and stormed off toward the woods, leaving Noel behind.
Watching her go, Noel felt an inexplicable irritation, her tearful eyes lingering in his mind.
Just then, his phone rang. It was Dariel on the other end.
“Mr. Howard, we found out that Ms. Spencer is being threatened by her father, Westley. He’s using her mother’s medical treatment as leverage, saying he’ll stop if she insists on breaking off the engagement.“
