Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 39:

Joanna shared her training experience, saying, “It was incredibly educational. The downside? The instructions were so strict that I couldn’t even play on my phone. I’ve missed you dearly. Did you make any visits to the Hayes family’s residence or the Scott family’s? Did you encounter any issues?”

Norah gave a brief rundown but left out details about her patients.

“Isn’t it romantic that you get some alone time with Mr. Scott and Mr. Hayes, respectively? Did anything interesting happen at those dinners?” Joanna teased with a grin.

Since Norah divorced Derek, she had been keen on setting Norah up with new guys, hoping to steer her away from reconciling with Derek. Thinking of what Derek had done to Norah, Joanna wished she could kill him.

“Right now, I’m not looking to jump into another relationship. Derek’s delaying the divorce, taking it to court,” Norah’s temper flared up at the mention of Derek.

“Ugh! What a bastard! Norah, want to have a go at sorting him out?” Joanna frowned.

“I just want to wrap up this divorce quickly and cut ties with him for good. Since signing those divorce papers, I keep running into Derek on different occasions. The other day, I ran into him and Madeline at Solo Mio Restaurant…”

“What happened next?” Joanna leaned in, eager for more.

Joanna couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Norah’s story and said, “He never imagined you’d be an honored guest of the Scott family, did he? I bet he, Madeline, and Madeline’s parents were all taken aback. I’d be surprised too, if I were in his shoes. So, you’re already on good terms with Mr. Scott? I didn’t know Solo Mio Restaurant offered special treatment to anyone.”

Norah rolled her eyes and said, “I’m working with them now.”
