Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 11:

As they prepared to depart, Joanna’s phone rang with a call from Kason, which immediately altered her

demeanor. She glanced at Norah, unsure of how to explain.

“Joanna, is everything okay?”

Joanna's reaction caught both Bryson’s and Norah's attention.

“Who's on the phone?” Bryson asked.

Joanna moved closer to Norah and quietly said, “Kason is on the line. He mentioned Mr. Scott is looking for the

Supernatural Doctor. They've taken Kason into custody and need to know if he can reveal your identity to them.”

Norah's interest was piqued. “It’s curious that after two years away, I'm still sought after. Inform him that if Mr.

Scott takes first place in the Krusa Mountain Racing in five days, I'll agree to meet with him.”

Norah planned to attend the Krusa Mountain Racing, aware that Nocturne would also be there. She was curious

to see Scott's performance.

“Norah, that’s impressive,” Joanna commented, applauding her decision.

Bryson watched their quiet conversation with a puzzled expression. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What are

you two talking about behind my back?”

After a brief conversation on the phone, Joanna ended the call, looked up innocently, and said, “Oh, it’s just some

women’s talk. What's got you so intrigued?”

Joanna leaned on Norah's shoulder and suggested, “Norah, why not stay at my new place? Now that you've

moved out, and without a place to stay, tomorrow I'll show you the villas | own. You can pick whichever one you

like.” Bryson chimed in, “I have a few properties myself. Norah, feel free to choose any.”

Norah mischievously smiled and said, “Why would | be homeless? | might lack many things, but houses aren't

one of them. Bryson, please dropoff at Dreamview Villas.”

Joanna was taken aback. “You have a place in Dreamview Villas?”

Dreamview Villas was Glophia’s top-notch community. Renowned for its privacy and security, its properties were

limited, attracting only the most influential or affluent individuals. Joanna knew of it through Bryson’s casual

mentions, having only a slight idea of its prestige.

Bryson, too, was taken aback. He instructed the driver to take a different route. “Let's go to the Villas.”

“Well, it was a present from a friend,” Norah mentioned indifferently.

At the Glamour Club's top-floor chamber, Kason looked around and asked with curiosity, “Kason, what are you

doing at the Glamour Club? | noticed you were speaking with Joanna. Are you acquainted? Derek's former wife is

also here,” Spencer said, sitting beside Kaiden.

Kaiden glanced at Kason and asked with interest. Since Kason stepped into the Glamour Club, Kaiden had been

curious about his motives. He understood Kason very well and knew Kason had no interest in women and would

never step into entertainment spots.

Seeing Kason at the Glamour Club with Spencer piqued his curiosity further. Learning that Kason had just met

with Sean would only intensify his surprise.

Once the call ended, Kason listened to Kaiden and asked, “Derek’s wife? Are you referring to the lovely lady next

to Joanna?”

Spencer answered, “Yes. | presumed you were acquainted. The earlier disturbance at the Glamour Club has been

resolved. Perhaps we should find a quieter place for our chat?”

Kason took a moment to think. Having only recently assumed leadership of the Hayes family, he was still

familiarizing himself with the influential figures of Glophia, including Norah from the Wilson family, who had

joined the Carters two years ago.

Kason responded with ease, “Proceed with your plans. | have matters to attend to here.”

Spencer moved to enter the chamber Kason was heading for and asked, “Who's inside? He seems like an

important person. His men also helped during the earlier commotion.”

“Don’t let curiosity get the better of you,” Kason pivoted abruptly and replied sharply, giving them a brief look.

“I'm off.”

Without waiting for their response, Kason stormed ahead and positioned himself outside the chamber. Inside,

Sean was speaking to Phillip, “I've consulted with the Supernatural Doctor. Please arrange forto meet Mr.

Scott.”

Although he wasn’t familiar with Glophia’s affairs, Kason had heard plenty about Sean's reputation. In Glophia,

nobody dared to cross paths with Sean.

Even the most prominent individuals showed Sean respect. The Scott family’s high status in Glophia was largely

attributed to Sean’s remarkable contributions. He had done a great deal to elevate the family’s reputation.

Phillip led Kason in after knocking. In the softly lit chamber, the classy Sean lounged with a cigarette in hand,

surveying the room.

“Mr. Hayes, any updates?” he asked.

Kason straightened up and replied, “I've consulted with the Supernatural Doctor. She mentioned that if you win

the Krusa Mountain Racing in five days, she will reach out to you.”

Hearing this, Sean smiled. “Well, thanks for relaying the message. Phillip, would you escort our visitor out?”

Sean inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaling a circle of smoke that briefly obscured his sharpened features.

As Phillip led Kason away, his thoughts drifted back to the striking Norah.

He instructed his assistant, “Find out everything about Derek's former wife. | want all the details.”

Upon reaching Dreamview Villas, Bryson said, “Letknow if there's anything you need.”

Norah smiled and responded, “Will do!”

Joanna, clinging to Norah's arm, eagerly asked, “Norah, may | stay with you? I'm curious about life in Dreamview

Villas.”

“Perhaps another time,” Norah replied gently. “Today, I'm looking forward to srest.” She patted Joanna's

head, kindly refusing her request.

Feeling weary, Norah returned to the villa where she had first entered. Settling into a bath of warm water, she

sighed in relief.

She found herself thinking that these moments of luxury were exactly what she deserved. Reflecting on the days

she had spent humbly taking care of Derek and his family, she admired her own patience and endurance.

Resting her arms along the edge of

the tub, enveloped in steam,

memories began to surface. Back

That young face often visited her dreams, providing comfort. Norah was determined to repay this kindness. That

young man had been Derek.

She stirred the fresh rose petals in the warm water, plucking one and rolling it softly between her fingers,

staining them with its essence. She cast her gaze downward.

What she had once thought was love

She comforted herself by saying there were plenty more men out there. She believed that neither she nor Derek

owed each other anything anymore.
