Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 38:

Derek’s expression softened as he said, “Isn’t there still plenty of time before the Grace Cup? Madeline’s not going anywhere. What’s the rush to ask her today?”

Kathy said those words to change the subject, clearly not interested in seeking advice from Madeline regarding the Grace Cup. She jumped up and pushed Derek toward the door. “Understood. Derek, make it quick and get going. Madeline needs to get dressed.”

Once the door shut, Madeline asked, “So, are you actually going to join the Grace Cup?”

Kathy confirmed with a nod. “Yes, I studied fashion design at university. I’m eager to enter competitions to build my name. I need your support, Madeline.”

Madeline appeared unsure and said, “But I’ve also entered the Grace Cup’s fashion design contest. If I assist you, it might detract from my own work.”

She looked down, her gaze carrying a hint of mystery and uncertainty. She hadn’t signed up for the contest until Kathy brought it up, prompting a spur-of-the-moment decision to participate. She felt she had wasted too much time during her two years abroad. Now back in Glophia and preparing to marry Derek, Madeline knew she had to be mindful of her public image.
