Chapter 58

Her heart skipped a heat before it started

She hadn’t expected this. She thought she would have to prove herself again, that she would need to fight for a place, but here was Colton, offering her another chance. A second chance.

Joy surged through her chest, making it almost difficult to breathe. I would be honored,” she said immediately, her voice slightly breathless with excitement. “It would be my privilege to be your disciple:”

A rare approving nod from Colton was her answer.

When she and Leo stepped out of the lounge, both of them were smiling. Leo stretched his arms and glanced at her with a teasing smirk. “Well, little saster,” he said with exaggerated seriousness, “I guess you’re officially part of the family now.”

Nora smiled softly and shook her head. “Should I call you senior now?

Leo shrugged. “Maybe so, after all, you’re the new kid on the block in Colton’s world.”

Despite the playful banter, a part of Nora still felt a little nervous. After the excitement of officially becoming Colton’s disciple settled, reality hit her–she had a long road ahead. Colton had already given her several tasks, and even as they walked, her mind was racing, conceptualizing how she would complete them.

Curious eyes followed them, filled with a mixture of admiration, envy, and shock.

Among them were Arnold and Linda.

Clark and Jenna were there too, their faces painted with disbelief.

Nora caught their skeptical expressions and felt an odd sense of satisfaction. These were the very people who had once looked down on her. They had dismissed her as unimportant, insignificant. And now, they had to watch as she walked out of that lounge, not as someone in the shadows, but as Prodemor Colton’s new student.
