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.”
