Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 199:

Bryson stepped out of Joanna’s ward and settled onto a bench outside. His gaze was fixed on the overhead light, his mind elsewhere.

He had been waiting for Norah and Derek to divorce. He had thought that Norah certainly wouldn’t want to jump into another relationship so soon after her divorce. Bryson had hoped that through their gradual interactions, they might eventually find their way to each other.

Norah’s beauty and competence were undeniable. How could he not be drawn to her?

Whenever Joanna went out with Norah, Bryson would discreetly ask about their conversations and activities, quietly keeping track of Norah. As time passed, the men surrounding Norah seemed to outshine Bryson, leaving him feeling overshadowed.

Bryson could still remember the first time he had met Norah. At the time, he was worn down by the crisis looming over his company’s potential bankruptcy. She, on the other hand, appeared before him like a radiant goddess, illuminating his world with her brightness. “Do you want to save your company?” That was the first sentence Norah said to him, and that simple question from her was deeply etched in his memory.

Everything Norah did for him felt like a lifeline to his life’s work, and he viewed her through that lens. Regardless of her status, whether wealthy or in need, he vowed to treat her the same. Sadly for him, he never got the chance.

With a self-deprecating smile, Bryson bitterly accepted the fact that he was nothing more than Norah’s friend’s brother, and there was nothing he could do to bridge that gap. Nonetheless, he promised himself that if an opportunity arose where he could fulfill his vow, he would do so without hesitation.

In the ward, only Joanna and Duncan remained.
