Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 97:

Derek was silent for a moment, his face darkening. “What did you just say?”

Norah chuckled and replied, “Whoever makes the most noise is nothing short of pathetic.”

Her words served as an insult to Derek, Madeline, and Madeline’s parents.

Rhoda, quickly angered due to her temperamental nature, opened her mouth to hit back. But at that moment, two men approached them from behind Norah.

One of them, dressed in a finely tailored wine-red suit with meticulously combed hair and gold-rimmed glasses, emitted a polished aura. The other man, visibly cold-tempered, wore a silver-gray suit, with his right wrist wrapped in a white bandage. He scanned the whole crowd with a malicious gaze.

They were Bryson and Kason, respectively—and neither of them had a female companion with them.

Coen, about to belittle Norah, stopped when he noticed the man in the wine-red suit approaching with his assistant. Upon recognizing the man as Bryson, he hurriedly walked forward with a smile.

Facing Bryson, Coen bowed unctuously and said, “Greetings, Mr. Andrews. My name is Coen. You remember me, right? I believe you’ve gone through the plan I sent to you the other day.”

“It’s quite impressive,” Bryson smiled politely and replied, “Actually, I haven’t gone through your plan yet. But rest assured, once I’ve read it, my assistant will forward my reply to you.”

With that, Bryson turned to face Norah and quickly took a few steps toward her. “Norah, you’re stunning! I didn’t expect to run into you here,” Bryson said. Having no idea what had happened between Norah and Sean, Bryson assumed she came alone.

“You have an invitation, right? Or, do you need me to take you in?” Bryson asked.

He hadn’t been around when the Powell family had sarcastically addressed Norah. If he had been aware of their demeaning words toward her, he wouldn’t have treated Coen so politely. Instead, he would have told Coen directly to his face to go to hell.

“Thanks, but don’t bother, Mr. Andrews. Please leave Norah to me, I’ll take her in,” Kason said.
