Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 413:

In the bustling Cardiac Surgery Department, the morning meeting had just wrapped up when Baylor sauntered over to Norah’s desk.

“Dr. Wilson, mind if we have a quick chat when you’re not busy?”

“My time is valuable. Just say what is on your mind.”
