Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 272:

To those onlookers in Glophia, Norah was perceived as someone with no standing or influence. The Wilson family didn’t even acknowledge her, leaving others to view her as an orphan without any social status. However, Norah had status.

Her original family held quiet influence in Glophia. Once she took the reins of her family and sorted things out, she planned to enhance its reputation. Her lineage was, in fact, comparable to Sean’s.

After a quick shower, Norah left the room. In the living room, Sean was still hunched over his laptop, deep in concentration.

“Back to our discussion. Darling, is giving gifts something you enjoy?” Norah asked.

She saw Sean facing his laptop, assuming he was reading some documents. She walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a gentle shake.

“Let’s count. How many presents have you given me?”

Sean remained silent, his hand moving to cover the webcam.

Feeling something amiss, Norah glanced at the screen. The next moment, she found Sean having an online meeting with executives. She quickly released him and hopped away from the camera.

Biting her lip, she muttered in frustration, “Are you on a video conference?”
