Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 86:

Though Norah had drunk, she didn’t feel the effects of alcohol. She lowered her gaze and inquired, “Where’s Phillip? Why wasn’t he with you?”

“Susanna had called him over,” Sean replied casually, his breath carrying a strong scent of alcohol that was somewhat intoxicating.

“What did you want to elaborate on just now, Mr. Scott?” Norah asked, fiddling with her fingers and gazing out the window as if the conversation didn’t concern her.

“There’s an auction next weekend, and I’d like to invite you to my date, Norah,” Sean explained.

Norah raised an eyebrow in surprise. “An auction?”

“The Scott family is hosting the auction, and many prominent figures from Glophia will be there. I need a companion.”

“With important people from Glophia? Why me?” Norah’s eyes drooped, and there was a touch of sadness in her expression. Amidst the divorce proceedings with Derek, Norah felt like she, Derek, and Madeline had become the laughingstock of Glophia. Why did Sean choose her to be his companion at the auction?

“In my view, reputation is something given by others. But personally, I don’t pay much attention to it,” Sean interjected. “I’m more interested in discerning a person’s character firsthand.”

Norah chuckled lightly. “You seem to have your own criteria for friendship. Apart from Phillip and your bodyguards, I haven’t noticed anyone else.”

“Anyone by your side?” Sean maintained his composure despite Norah’s teasing. “Well, I have quite a few friends. I’ll introduce you to them sometime.”
