Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 14:

Derek’s expression shifted sharply. Throughout their two-year marriage, Norah had always been patient and compliant with him. However, since their separation, it seemed as though she had transformed entirely. He now saw Norah as remarkably assertive.

“So, rubbing shoulders with Miss Andrews has given you the nerve to talk back? What do you think you’ve become?” Kathy asked.

Never one to shy away from a sharp comeback, Norah snapped, “Don’t be so arrogant. I can easily have security kick you out.”

After learning that the Carter family was one of the shareholders of the race organizers, Kathy’s confidence soared. She signaled to a nearby security guard.

“Security, please remove this woman,” she ordered.

Before she could finish, the murmurs in the crowd faded, and a path opened up, enough for three people to pass through. The sound of footsteps made everyone freeze, their eyes fixed on the man strolling their way.

Sean, recognized as Glophia’s most influential figure and a key investor in the Krusa Mountain Racing, made his way toward them. Derek had heard about Sean’s reputation. He quickly paid his respects, greeting him with, “Mr. Scott.”

Meeting the legendary Sean for the first time, Derek was so overwhelmed that he found himself at a loss for words. Sean moved past them without stopping, barely acknowledging Derek’s presence.

Derek was left standing, feeling embarrassed as the only one who spoke but received no acknowledgment, resembling a clown in silence.

Sean, however, halted momentarily, his gaze inadvertently catching Norah’s. Their eyes met. Norah instinctively stood taller, quickly averting her gaze.

Without missing a beat, Sean instructed, “Phillip, escort Miss Andrews and her companion to the front-row seats.”

His expression was stoic, yet his mere presence was enough to captivate many.

Joanna, taken aback, whispered, “Mr. Scott?” She had never had any dealings with Sean and was puzzled by his unexpected offer.
