Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 319:

Phillip and Kelvin stood behind Sean in the tranquil reception area, casting cold, judgmental glances at Oscar. Kelvin wished he had struck Oscar during their previous encounter. The sight of Oscar made him feel queasy.

Norah, wearing a regretful expression, leaned in to whisper to Sean, “We can’t leave on time like this.”

Sean reassured her, “It’s fine. The company matters are under control. I can return later.”

Despite his words, the Scott Group had been dealing with a significant work backlog in recent weeks. Sean rationalized that staying late was acceptable if it meant being with Norah.

Anxious, Norah rubbed her forehead. Initially, she had hoped for an early departure, but now the prospect of leaving today seemed uncertain. Alice was tied to Riss from the Breaker, yet she had encouraged Norah to disrupt the Breaker’s arms trades. Norah couldn’t be sure about Alice’s feelings for Riss, and the possibility of Alice returning with her was unclear.

Norah held Sean’s hand, staring blankly at their palms.
