Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 17:

“It’s my pleasure, Miss Wilson. Might I have a moment to speak with you?” With that, Sean turned to Joanna and said, “Miss Andrews, would you mind waiting outside for a moment?” Joanna stood up, giving Norah a playful glance. “I’ll be right outside the door.”

Norah asked, “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Scott?” She knew there wasn’t much else to discuss with Sean besides paying a visit to his weakened grandfather.

“Well, it concerns medical assistance from the Supernatural Doctor,” Sean replied. With a wave of his hand, Phillip, clad in a sleek black suit, approached with a tray holding a bank card. “I wish to demonstrate my sincerity. This card holds 50 million as my initial offer for your services. Upon my grandfather’s recovery, I intend to provide additional compensation.”

Sean was extremely generous when it came to the fee for medical service for his grandfather.

Norah, maintaining her calm, reached for the bank card. “Given your generosity, Mr. Scott, I am inclined to accept. I’ll get in touch to arrange the details.”

Sean nodded slightly and said, “I’m counting on you, Supernatural Doctor.”

Norah peeked at him and had to admit, Sean was quite good-looking. His features were appealing, from his brows and eyes to his sculpted jawline, all complemented by his reserved demeanor. His gaze exuded a cold, chilling air, yet it was captivating.

By the time Joanna and Norah left Solo Mio Restaurant, it was already dark outside. Joanna was eager to learn about Sean’s conversation with Norah but was interrupted by a call, leading to a quick goodbye.

Although Joanna offered to accompany Norah back to Dreamview Villas, Norah chose to go back alone. She saw herself as a grown-up and didn’t want Joanna to handle everything on her behalf.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Norah rummaged through her bag for her phone, ready to book a cab. Before she could do so, a soft voice caught her attention.

“Nobody giving you a ride? Nocturne and the Solo Mio Restaurant aren’t bothered about leaving you stranded here. How rude! Well, I’ve got space in my car. Want a lift?”

Turning around, Norah saw Madeline, cozily close to Derek, offering a smile. Kathy, standing by, looked visibly annoyed.
