Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 142:

Phillip was honest with Susanna about everything that happened the other day. He didn’t hide anything.

Susanna'’s lips curled into a disdainful smile as she shoved him away. “Phillip! | misjudged you! | never expected

you to cover for Sean with these words!”

Hearing Phillip’s explanation, Susanna was fuming. She never imagined that Phillip would convince Sean to allow

Amabel to work at Nexa Tech. After all, Sean had been opposed to the idea of Amabel staying in the company.

Susanna raised her head and glanced over at the person standing next to Sean. Amabel was dressed in a sharp

black and white professional suit, her hair neatly gathered into a low ponytail. She looked gorgeous, and her

appearance contrasted sharply with Norah's. Amabel exuded the aura of a highly skilled woman.

Susanna bit her lower lip, feeling a mix of frustration and concern. She didn’t want Amabel to work at Nexa Tech.

She knew that if Norah found out about this, it would definitely affect her relationship with Sean. Susanna was

determined to get Sean and Norah together, and she wouldn't allow anyone to cause a rift between them. She

refused to let anyone ruin her efforts.

Phillip was pushed away so forcefully that he almost fell. He stumbled back a few steps before regaining his

balance and straightening his clothes. He was used to Susanna’s whimsical temper, but seeing her like this, he

knew something was bothering her again.

The commotion caused by Susanna and Phillip caught Sean’s attention. After confirming that they were fine, he

redirected his focus back to what Amabel was saying about the company.

“Mr. Scott, that’s the end of my report for now. Do you have any instructions?” Amabel stood across from the

desk with her head slightly lowered, her eyes on Sean as she spoke. Amabel still felt the sway about him—

just like before, he could make her heart flutter by simply standing there.

“Inform the technical department to continue researching satellite-based technologies. Tell the marketing

department to focus on promoting a different product. | want a marketing report this week,” Sean instructed.

“Okay,” Amabel replied, casting a glance at Susanna on the sofa. “Speaking of which, | haven't seen Susanna in

along time.”

Before Amabel went abroad for further studies, she had met Susanna a few times. She remembered those

encounters clearly because Susanna was Sean's sister.

Susanna heard her nmentioned and stood up to approach Amabel. “Miss, to be honest, | don’t really

remember you. Norah has always been by Sean's side, so | haven't paid attention to other people.”

With an exaggerated sigh, Susanna turned to her brother and asked, “Can you introduce her?”

Amabel’s expression froze, and she quickly explained before Sean could. “I'm Amabel, from the Morris family of

Glophia. I'm Spencer's elder sister.”

“Oh, | see,” Susanna said, pretending to suddenly recognize Amabel. “Amabel, why are you working as a

secretary in Sean’s small company? It doesn’t seem to live up to your status!”

Amabel had already sensed Susanna’s hostility toward her. “I just returned from abroad and needed to find a job.

Nexa Tech's offerings align with my expectations for future positions and suit my career goals, so | chere,”

Amabel explained lightly with a smile.

“I see,” Susanna replied, her tone measured. “However, this company is a little small and probably not suitable

for you. Why don’t you get a job at the Scott Group instead?”

Susanna phrased it as a suggestion, but her true intention was much clearer. In reality, she was just being polite.

She planned to reject Amabel’s application to all Scott family companies once Amabel left.

Susanna believed that letting Amabel stay in any of Sean’s companies would only serve as an obstacle to Sean

and Norah being together.

Sean found Susanna’s suggestion strange. He tried to figure out the motives behind her words. Judging from his

businessman's perspective, it made sense for Amabel to work at Nexa Tech. After all, she was highly skilled and

handled her work efficiently.

“Susanna, you don’t need to concern yourself with my work,” Sean said, his voice more relaxed. “If you're bored,

go for a walk. | have a meeting later.”

He thought Susanna might not be interested in staying, so he frankly suggested she take stfor herself.

“Phillip, keep an eye on Susanna for me,” Sean instructed.

“Okay,” Phillip replied.

Susanna pouted, feeling a surge of frustration. She couldn't understand why Sean refused to take this matter

seriously.

Amabel watched Sean leave the office, shot Susanna a polite smile, and walked out. Susanna, feeling restless,

jumped onto the sofa, pointed a finger at Phillip, and demanded, “Phillip, chere.”

Phillip walked over to her. “Miss Scott, what's the matter?”

Standing on the sofa made Susanna slightly taller than Phillip. “Are you trying to make that woman Norah's love

rival? You traitor! I've always treated you so nicely, and this is how you payback!”

Susanna aggressively ruffled Phillip’s hair, making it disheveled in a matter of seconds. He defended himself

helplessly. “Miss Morris is indeed accomplished. Her working at Nexa Tech will only be beneficial to Mr. Scott, so |

didn’t consider anything else at the time.”

“You big moron!” Susanna’s irritation eased a little after messing up Phillip’s hair. She looked down at him, her

expression softer but still stern. “Since you were so clueless, I'll give you a chance to correct your mistake.”

Phillip looked up at her, puzzled.

“You need to make sure Amabel stays far away from Sean. There are plenty of jobs out there. She doesn’t need

to work in Sean’s company.”

Susanna gestured for Phillip to get closer and whispered something in his ear. Her sweet breath caressed his ear,

making it turn bright red.

“This is a work matter...”

Susanna thumped Phillip’s shoulder firmly and said, “I know I'm not allowed to interfere, but Ill leave it to you.”

Her tone was dead serious, as if she were giving him an extremely important task. “Phillip, | know you didn’t

mean to make a mistake, so I'll forgive you. You still have a chance to set things right. After all, you don’t want

Norah and Sean to have a falling out because of Amabel, do you?”

Phillip hesitantly replied, “That's the last thing | want to see.”

“That's right! That's the correct attitude! | trust you.” Susanna said, her tone softening as she smiled at him.

Phillip reluctantly agreed to Susanna'’s request, but he had no idea how to fulfill it. He felt that complying with

her request was the right thing to do. However, he was also aware that he couldn't interfere with Sean's

decisions. After all, only Sean could make the final call on how to handle Amabel.

At Silver Boulder Private Hospital, Baylor had been promoted to attending physician. When he ran into Norah in

the department, he said, “Dr. Wilson, let's have a chat after work.”

Norah looked up and replied, “Sure. Where would you like to meet?”

“On the hospital rooftop.”

“Okay.”

After agreeing, Norah returned to her desk to finish spaperwork before going to her next surgery. By the

tthe surgery ended, her workday was over. As planned, Norah arrived at the hospital's rooftop.
