Chapter 35:

The manager of Solo Mio Restaurant approached Norah with a welcoming demeanor, offering his greetings with respect. The crowd in the hall was momentarily taken aback. Derek observed Norah, his face clouded with curiosity, wondering how she had come to be on such good terms with the manager of Solo Mio Restaurant. Could it be that she had formed a bond with the owner after the recent race?

Rhoda and Coen appeared confused. They understood that the owner of Solo Mio Restaurant was a prominent figure who enforced strict reservation policies that no one dared to break. Given Madeline’s account of Norah’s status as an illegitimate child of the Wilson family, how had she managed to establish such a connection with the owner?

“Listen up, folks!” the manager said, smiling kindly. “Our boss has made it clear that Miss Wilson doesn’t need a reservation to dine here. She’s welcome anytime!” He gently addressed the receptionists, “Remember, any oversight with Miss Wilson, and you’ll no longer be needed here.” The receptionists nodded, stealing intrigued glances at Norah.

Madeline, stepping away from Derek, asked with a voice tinged with tears, “Miss Wilson, are you acquainted with the Solo Mio Restaurant owner?”

Under Norah’s steady gaze, Madeline hesitated, then added, “I heard that only those close to the owner can bypass the reservation requirement.”

Norah stayed quiet.

The manager, beaming with pride, announced, “Miss Wilson is a VIP guest here, as per the owner’s instructions to ensure she’s always well taken care of. Please, Miss Wilson, this way.”

Norah, with a slight smile and glancing at the four faces showing various degrees of displeasure, felt a surge of gratification. “I appreciate it,” she said.

As Norah passed Derek, she murmured, “This Sunday.” Derek’s puzzled look only made her smile more freely, her laughter echoing vibrantly.

The manager escorted Norah to an exclusive chamber upstairs, dedicating himself to her service and providing her with unparalleled hospitality.

Derek couldn’t shake the image of Norah’s graceful presence from his thoughts. He recalled the woman’s once tender actions, contrasting with her current aloofness. Was it truly that simple for her to let go of her feelings for him? No, that couldn’t be possible. Norah must still harbor feelings for him.
