Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 142:

Phillip was honest with Susanna about everything that happened the other day. He didn’t hide anything. Susanna’s lips curled into a disdainful smile as she shoved him away. “Phillip! I misjudged you! I never expected you to cover for Sean with these words!”

Hearing Phillip’s explanation, Susanna was fuming. She never imagined that Phillip would convince Sean to allow Amabel to work at Nexa Tech. After all, Sean had been opposed to the idea of Amabel staying in the company.

Susanna raised her head and glanced over at the person standing next to Sean. Amabel was dressed in a sharp black and white professional suit, her hair neatly gathered into a low ponytail. She looked gorgeous, and her appearance contrasted sharply with Norah’s. Amabel exuded the aura of a highly skilled woman.

Susanna bit her lower lip, feeling a mix of frustration and concern. She didn’t want Amabel to work at Nexa Tech. She knew that if Norah found out about this, it would definitely affect her relationship with Sean. Susanna was determined to get Sean and Norah together, and she wouldn’t allow anyone to cause a rift between them. She refused to let anyone ruin her efforts.

Phillip was pushed away so forcefully that he almost fell. He stumbled back a few steps before regaining his balance and straightening his clothes. He was used to Susanna’s whimsical temper, but seeing her like this, he knew something was bothering her again.

The commotion caused by Susanna and Phillip caught Sean’s attention. After confirming that they were fine, he redirected his focus back to what Amabel was saying about the company.

“Mr. Scott, that’s the end of my report for now. Do you have any instructions?” Amabel stood across from the desk with her head slightly lowered, her eyes on Sean as she spoke. Amabel still felt the same way about him—just like before, he could make her heart flutter by simply standing there.

“Inform the technical department to continue researching satellite-based technologies. Tell the marketing department to focus on promoting a different product. I want a marketing report this week,” Sean instructed.

“Okay,” Amabel replied, casting a glance at Susanna on the sofa. “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Susanna in a long time.”

Before Amabel went abroad for further studies, she had met Susanna a few times. She remembered those encounters clearly because Susanna was Sean’s sister.

Susanna heard her name mentioned and stood up to approach Amabel. “Miss, to be honest, I don’t really remember you. Norah has always been by Sean’s side, so I haven’t paid attention to other people.”
