Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 294:

As soon as Norah’s playful words hung in the air, Kelvin’s expression darkened. He sensed she was diverting the conversation.

“It’s not possible to shadow the client around the clock. Even if you were made of iron, your body couldn’t handle it,” Norah said.

Kelvin’s silvery hair hung limply. Despite appearing alone, several other members of Sacredice were lurking nearby, ensuring Sean’s safety. Still, they had all failed to notice that Norah had slipped away.

With a narrowed gaze and a smirk, Norah teased, “Kelvin, you wouldn’t want Sean to know you’d slacked off, would you? You might find yourself jobless.”

A few beads of sweat trickled down Kelvin’s forehead as her words hit home, serving as a cautionary note.

“Miss Wilson, please come in. I didn’t see you this evening,” Kelvin stepped aside to welcome her in. Acknowledging his failure to notice Norah’s departure would mean admitting to his own dereliction. A derelict bodyguard was unfit to stand by Sean’s side.

“Alright, I’ll rest for now. Sometimes there’s no use overexerting yourself, Kelvin,” Norah said calmly.

Her words lingered in the air, causing Kelvin to freeze and stare blankly at her as she walked away.
