Chapter 7

Leo’s eyes lit up with excitement. “When can you start?”

Nora hesitated for a moment before replying. “I have a few things I need to wrap up first, but I’ll be back. as soon as I can.”

Leo’s smile widened. “I’ll be waiting patiently for the return of our genius.”

Nora rolled her eyes but couldn’t help smiling. “Don’t tease me, Leo.”

The conversation stretched on, but time seemed to slip away too quickly. Eventually, Leo glanced at his watch and frowned.

“I have a meeting in a few minutes,” he said apologetically. “I’ve got to run.”

After Leo left, Nora gathered her things and prepared to leave as well.

Just as she slung her bag over her shoulder, a sharp voice interrupted her thoughts.

“Nora? What are you doing here?”

She turned and saw a woman striding toward her with a disapproving frown–Josiah, Arnold’s sister.

Josiah’s eyes swept over Nora critically, her lips curling in disdain.

“Look at the way you’re dressed.” She sneered. “Even if only a few people know you’re the Luna, you should still care about your image. You look sloppy.”

Nora blinked at her, unamused. She had deliberately chosen a loose, casual jacket that was both neat and comfortable–a practical outfit for the day. Sloppy? Hardly.

But she didn’t bother defending herself. Instead, she focused on gathering the documents Leo had left

behind.

Seeing that Nora was ignoring her, Josiah’s eyes narrowed.

“Where are you going?” she demanded, reaching out to grab Nora’s arm. “Victor’s been sick lately, and he needs someone to take care of him. I’ll have him sent to your place later.”

Nora froze.

Victor.. Josiah’s son..was a troublemaker and a year or two older than Alex.
