Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 132:

Jolie, the author of the anonymous letter in which she wrongly accused Norah of benefiting from nepotism to thwart Norah’s potential promotion, had anticipated the promotion would be redirected to her. However, it ended up going to Baylor, who hadn’t even done the work to earn it. Naturally, this left Jolie feeling frustrated and angry.

She had just deliberately dropped a few sarcastic remarks and complimented Baylor to provoke Norah, attempting to vent her anger, but Norah didn’t pay her any mind. Worse, Baylor confronted her, which only made her more furious.

Jolie and Baylor had been working in the Cardiac Surgery Department for several years, patiently waiting for a promotion. Teeth gritted, Jolie felt that if it weren’t for her, Baylor would never have gotten the promotion in the first place! She held her rounds notebook close to her chest and shot Baylor a glare, wondering why she had ever been attracted to such a man. The more she looked at him now, the more irritating she found him.

After making her rounds, Norah proceeded to the operating room to perform several surgeries. By the end of the day, she had completed three surgeries in total. When she stretched her body and stepped out of the operating room, she found a girl sitting on the bench.

Norah paused for a moment, recalling how Joanna used to wait for her just like this. As Norah approached, she got a better look at the girl and recognized her instantly.

“Susanna, what are you doing here?”

“I’ve been waiting for you! It’s been a while since we last saw each other.”

“I miss you.” Susanna jumped out of her seat and happily bounded over to Norah. “I’ve been wanting to apologize for what happened last time. Sorry for the mess I dragged you into, and thank you for saving me.” Lowering her head slightly, Susanna poured out her feelings, muttering, “He even called me stupid!”

It didn’t take long for Norah to realize that the day in question was the day she had slept with Sean and then snuck away. Perhaps Sean had vented his anger on Susanna as a result.

Feeling guilty, Norah thought for a moment and said, “Wait for me here. I’ll hand over my reports first, and then I’ll get off work.”

“Okay, Norah. I’ll wait right here.” Susanna hoped to befriend Norah while Joanna was still hospitalized. She assumed that if she could put Norah at ease, maybe it would bring her closer to Sean.

After finishing up with work, Norah rendezvoused with Susanna, and together they headed to the ward. After all, Norah had promised Joanna that she would come see her.

“Susanna, why did you want to see me?” Norah asked, studying Susanna.
