Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 160:

At Otland’s airport, a gentle rain welcomed Norah as she left the plane, shrouding everything in a soft haze.

Norah was no stranger to Otland, having spent there before.

The airport at Otland’s Lochdeer greeted Norah warmly.

Walking toward the exit, dragging her black suitcase behind her, Norah noticed a woman with blonde hair and

blue eyes scanning the crowd.

The woman's face lit up with joy upon seeing Norah.

“Norah, over here!” The woman called, her voice full of excitement as she jumped and waved her arms.

Her brown baseball outfit and matching hat gave her an air of effortless style.

The woman rushed to hug Norah, unable to contain her excitement.

“I've been anticipating your arrival for stime.”

The woman enthusiastically patted Norah's back and asked, “How long do you plan to stay in Otland this time?”

Norah offered a gentle pat in return and replied, “I'm here for work. Just a week.”

“That's perfect. We'll have stto spend together after you're done. It’s been ages since we last caught

up.”

The woman's words were tinged with a longing for the past, pulling Norah into a sea of memories.

Norah blinked, casting away those lingering thoughts.

“Alice, I'm really tired,” she said.

After attending the Wilson family’s banquet and the long journey, Norah longed for nothing more than rest.

“Alright. Let's head back this instant,” Alice Shaw replied.

They quickly made their way to the black car, which darted off, cutting through the lively streets like a swift

shadow.

Phillip stood at the doorway of Sean's office, a stack of papers in hand.

“Mr. Scott, there's a snag with the Freyvale project. It requires your personal attention.”

Putting the documents aside, Phillip’s face tightened with seriousness.

Before Sean could even glance at the papers, Susanna burst into the room.

“Sean! You won't believe what happened at the banquet today...”

Her words trailed off under Sean's intense stare.

“Oh, you're busy. I'll cback later?”

Susanna knew all too well that Sean’s serious manner meant trouble was brewing.

Although curious, she decided not to disturb them further.

Left to themselves, Sean began to go through the documents, his face growing more serious with each page.

“Prepare the plane—we’re off to Esterford,” Sean suddenly said. He stood up, took the suit from its hanger, and

dressed quickly, his eyes focused and alert.

“I have to be at the regional office in Esterford by six tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, sir,” Phillip nodded.

Norah had been asleep for quite stime, waking up around 1 a.m.

“Are you hungry? | made sfood for you,” Alice said, coming in with a tray that held two sandwiches and a

glass of milk.

“I warmed the milk for you. Please drink some.”

Norah felt her stomach rumble with hunger. After finishing her meal, she remained seated on the bed, engaging

in conversation with Alice.

“Norah, | heard you were married. How's that going? Are you happy in your marriage?” Alice asked, genuinely

curious about Norah's recent life.

She only knew that since getting married, Norah had lost contact with her old friends and the events of her past

life. Being overseas made Alice even more unaware of the details.

“I'm divorced now,” Norah replied, her voice carrying no weight of emotion. She wasn’t ashamed to talk about it.

She had misjudged Derek. “Anyway, Derek once saved my life, and | repaid that favor. Now, there are no debts

left between us.”

“Alice, what...?” Norah's words trailed off. Alice was stunned. To her, it was inconceivable for any man to let go of

someone as stunning and capable as Norah.

“I got divorced not too long ago. There was a mission here, so | cover to see you.” A small smile played on

Norah's lips. “It’s been ages since we last saw each other, hasn't it?”

“Indeed, it's been ages!”

When Norah was about to visit Otland, she suddenly recalled Alice’s presence there. They had both been in the

sorganization, working on their last assignment together.

After its completion, they cback to report, only to be informed that their unit had disbanded.

Norah gave up her alias, went back to Glophia, and lost almost all contact with Alice.

Alice’s gaze, blue as the ocean, fixed on Norah.

“Norah, whatever it is, you can share it with me. You know | can be as silent as the grave.”

Norah's eyelashes fluttered as she looked down. “Alice... so much has happened over the years...”

They had trained and gone on countless missions together, forging a bond as strong as life itself. Choosing to

leave her alias behind and forget her past with the organization, Norah married Derek and tried to start anew in

Glophia.

“I'm so sorry | left you behind for a man,” Norah said, her voice tinged with regret. She then shared a brief

overview of her life in Glophia, looking remorseful as she lifted her head.

“Norah, just your visit makesincredibly happy,” Alice replied, her light blue eyes sparkling against her blonde

hair. Her lips, tinted with a soft rose color, curved into a smile. “I might not know the best way to comfort you,

but remember, Norah, I'm always here for you!”

Alice wrapped Norah in a tight embrace, offering her warmth and support. “Trust me, you'll find someone much

better.”

Alice thought to herself about how blind Norah's ex must be. Norah's beauty and talent were bound to attract far

better prospects, leaving him with deep regrets.

“So, Norah, what brings you to Otland? Need my help?” Alice asked.

“I'm here for a surgical operation for the royal family of Otland,” Norah replied. “If you don’t mind, could you

driveto the castle?”

“Of course!” Alice agreed immediately, not even bothering to ask for any details.

“You've been resting for a while. Want to get out? There's a car race happening in Lochdeer tonight. Interested?”

Alice suggested, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

“Sounds fun,” Norah nodded.

Alice grinned, excitement growing. “Look at this! I've got a brand-new racing car. It hasn't even seen a race track

yet. | bet you could make it fly!”

Alice flung the keys through the air, and Norah caught them, the McLaren emblem shining in her palm. “Hit the

jackpot, did you? A McLaren, no less?” Norah remarked, impressed.

Owning this race car wasn’t a small feat; a fully decked-out version might cost a fortune, as much as 20 million

dollars.

“Just played the stock market right,” Alice replied casually, returning with two outfits in her hands. “Get changed.

We're heading out.”

Alice made dabbling in the stock market sound like a walk in the park.

“By the way, I've got my eye on sstocks. Think you could helpinvest?” Norah asked, a touch of curiosity

in her voice.

“Sure. Just letknow how much you're thinking. You know, I'm always there for you.” Alice's laughter filled the

room, a stark contrast to the distant, icy figure she was once known to be. In her place stood a woman full of life.

Dressed in their new gear, Alice and Norah set off for the Lochdeer Racing Circuit.
