Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 89:

Aaron, flashing Norah’s card on the POS machine, said to the salesperson, “Pack up that gown for Norah. Since you said so, I won’t be the one to rain on your parade.”

Norah, lounging on the sofa, responded, “It’s okay. It’s not like you own this place.”

Norah knew well enough that if Aaron ran this store, she could just snap her fingers, and the clothes would magically appear at her doorstep at her request. She was as sure of that as the sun rising in the east!

Joanna had chosen a new outfit for herself. She owned a lot of outfits, but there was always something new that caught her attention.

“Norah got me a dress! I’m over the moon!” Joanna was as joyful as ever. She brandished the black card entrusted to her by Norah, allowing her to splurge to her heart’s content.

Aaron, looking at Joanna, remarked, “Joanna, you’ve been grinning ear to ear ever since Norah’s divorce. I can’t fathom why you, hailing from one of Glophia’s four major families, the Andrews clan no less, act like a kid in a candy store whenever Norah is around.”

Joanna shot back, “Why wouldn’t I be happy? With Norah in the picture, I’m always on cloud nine! We can have a blast just like old times. Norah’s settled at the hospital.”

Meanwhile, Madeline and Kathy had strolled out of BelleVogue. Kathy nursed her fingers, a flicker of resentment in her eyes.

“Madeline, Norah’s got too much attitude! She struts around like she owns the place just because she’s cozy with Miss Andrews. It’s insufferable!” Kathy huffed.
