Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 69:

Norah took the thermos in her hands. In the air-conditioned car, she felt a warmth spreading in her chest as she held it. She blinked and hesitated before speaking up.

“Mr. Scott, how would you handle it if your car got dirty?”

Sean was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

With a shy tone, Norah confessed, “I’m on my period, and I accidentally stained your seat.”

After admitting this, Norah shut her eyes, too anxious to see Sean’s reaction, feeling embarrassed by the unfortunate incident. Mortified by the thought of the mess, she could sense the discomfort growing as she sat there, uneasy in Sean’s presence.

Sean’s cheeks turned pink as he awkwardly reassured her, “No worries. I’ll get it cleaned.”

Feeling embarrassed, Norah offered, “Please let me know the cost, so I can cover it.”

“Money isn’t an issue. What kind of person do you take me for?”

Norah was taken aback. She recalled her time with the Carter family, where she had to ask for money for any purchase. Initially, Derek complied every time she asked, but as time passed, he became increasingly impatient with it.
