Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 401:

“I left after you departed, so I’m unaware of what you’re referring to.”

Jolie was curious how Norah had identified her involvement without surveillance footage.

“Jolie Austin, are you foolish? There were only three people in the office, and no one else accessed my computer. It’s evident that you were involved.”

“I did accidentally hit your computer as I walked by, but I didn’t delete anything. There’s a misunderstanding here.”

After pausing for a moment, Jolie pretended to realize something.

“Was something deleted?”

“It was just a file, nothing overly crucial.”

If she couldn’t recover it on her computer, she could always hack into the hospital’s system later.

“If it’s not significant, then its deletion is inconsequential.”

Jolie, faced with Norah directly, hoped inwardly that the file wasn’t crucial. She could only talk, feeling scared when someone challenged her, fearing Norah might exploit her background against her. She limited herself to small actions like writing anonymous complaints; anything more was beyond her courage.

As she deleted the file, she was torn between hoping it held importance and wishing it didn’t.
