Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 152:

“Miss Wilson, it seems you have a penchant for humor,” Emil chuckled, guiding Kalel along. “Let’s go over there and have a chat, shall we?”

Emil gestured toward a sofa where a group of people were engaged in relaxed conversation. He didn’t take Norah’s remarks seriously, viewing them in the same light as Kalel’s so-called jokes.

“No, thank you. I’m not acquainted with either of you. If there’s anything to discuss, we can do it here,” Norah’s indifferent demeanor clearly conveyed her refusal.

Her lips formed a graceful smile as she spoke. Kalel seethed at her indifferent demeanor, narrowing his eyes.

At that moment, Sharon and Kathy entered the hall, instantly noticing the captivating Norah, who commanded attention effortlessly, flanked by two men.

“Norah hasn’t changed. Still dressed in provocative attire,” Kathy whispered.
