Chapter 29:

Sean entered the company lobby and handed the black umbrella to Phillip. Two women in smart attire were at the reception desk. Their eyes brightened at the sight of Sean, and upon spotting the woman beside him, they looked intrigued.

“Mr. Scott,” they greeted him politely. One of them stepped forward to assist Phillip with the umbrella.

With a brief nod, Sean quietly suggested to Norah, “Since we’re already here, perhaps you should go up and dry off? There’s a place where you can change. It’s cold, and you might catch something.”

“Alright.” Norah hesitated to decline, aware that Sean wouldn’t accept a refusal.

As the three of them took the elevator up, the receptionists began whispering to each other.

“Can you believe it? This is the first time Mr. Scott has ever brought a woman here. Could she possibly be his wife?”

“But she looks like someone he might have just met, considering how soaked she is from the rain. It’s hard to imagine Mr. Scott allowing his significant other to get caught in such a downpour.”

“You noticed too, huh? She’s not even wearing any makeup, but she’s naturally beautiful. Can you imagine how she’d look all dolled up?”

“Why bother complimenting another woman? Don’t you like Mr. Scott? He’s handsome and runs a huge company.”

“He’s a catch. I fantasize about fairy tale romances coming true for me. Even if it’s just for one night, I’d go for it.”

“Please. As if! With Mr. Scott’s position, he could easily pick a bride from the daughters of noble families in Glophia. You, just an ordinary person, don’t stand a chance.”
