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.

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