Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 134:

Norah found it rather amusing. Sean and Susanna had a knack for selecting gifts tailored to the recipient’s preferences. Hadn’t Sean given her soft drinks last time?

Norah gently shook her head. “No need. I’ve already received some soft drinks from someone, and I haven’t finished enjoying them.”

Susanna’s round eyes narrowed into a displeased frown. “Who dared to gift you soft drinks before me? How infuriating!” It felt like a missed opportunity to make her presence felt.

Norah’s gaze twinkled as she responded, “A friend.”

Sean clenched his fist at his side. “Friend again.”

Norah, seated on the sofa, laughed beguilingly, her eyes exuding captivating charm. With each smile, she seemed to glow, her beauty dazzling. Her chestnut-colored hair cascaded behind her, adding to her effortless allure.

“Alright, this friend certainly understands you well.” Susanna let out a feigned sigh. She turned to Sean, purposefully addressing him in Norah’s presence.

“Sean, I heard you had a private meal with the daughter of the Morris family. Is that true? Why haven’t you mentioned it to me before?”

“It was just a friend I ran into. We sat together for a while, but we weren’t together,” Sean clarified, though his eyes drifted toward Norah. “Phillip knows about it. You can ask him.”

Susanna persisted, “But why did I hear it was a one-on-one appointment?”

“Phillip was held up for a few minutes due to something,” Sean hastily explained, then redirected his attention to Susanna. “Where did you hear these rumors?”
