Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 493:

Susanna’s expression turned dark instantly under Coen’s disapproving stare. “What’s with that look?”

While Susanna usually had a calm demeanor, she wasn’t about to let her pride be trampled in situations like this. She stood up straight.

Coen’s stern look seemed to ask, “Who do you think you are?”

Rhoda tugged on his arm, saying, “Coen, cooperation matters most. Let’s go inside.”
