NovelEnglishChapter 176:
In the underground parking lot, loud footsteps passed by the black car.
“Let's find her.
That girl needs to be found.”
“And if you bump into anyone else, don’t hesitate to shoot.”
“Where could she be hiding? Let's cover the exit. There’s no way we can’t locate a girl here!”
The terrorists were dripping with confidence.
Sean and Norah were tucked away in a corner, silently waiting.
Norah's heart was pounding in her chest.
When Sean moved closer, her heartbeat raced even faster.

The pleasant scent coming from Sean made Norah nervously swallow. In the past, Norah had remained calm
under gunfire. But now, being pursued by terrorists—or, more precisely, due to Sean’s proximity—she couldn't
keep her heart steady.
Turning her head slightly, Norah accidentally brushed her lips against Sean’s cheek, startling herself and quickly
pulling away.
Sean, close enough to catch Norah's scent, was concentrating on the terrorists’ footsteps outside when he felt a
soft touch on his face. It was gentle and fleeting.

For a moment, Sean was caught off guard until he realized it was Norah's lips.
Realizing Norah had kissed him on the cheek, Sean couldn't believe it and lowered his head.
He could only see the top of Norah's head from his angle, missing her facial expression entirely.
His heart skipped a beat, never having imagined Norah would kiss him just then. He made a mental note to get
more kisses from her once everything outside calmed down, thinking a cheek kiss wasn’t nearly enough.
Norah's cheeks were burning.
She inhaled deeply, unable to speak because the terrorists were on the lookout for her.
All she could do was look away, purposely ignoring Sean's intense gaze.
This misunderstanding threw her off, and she forgot what she had wanted to say.
The underground parking lot was vast. The terrorists had blocked the exit and were combing the area for Norah.
Thanks to their well-hidden spot and the limited number of terrorists, Sean and Norah managed to stay out of
sight in a corner for almost five minutes.
Then, it seemed like help had arrived, and the situation outside was being handled.
The terrorists began to leave the garage.
Norah let out a silent sigh of relief and quietly swallowed. The lingering warmth of the accidental kiss felt even
more intense to her.
The contact with Sean made Norah's skin feel increasingly warm, to the point where she thought her face was on
fire. She was frustrated, blaming her overreaction on not being around men enough.

Being in Otland, Norah felt she needed to loosen up and enjoy herself more, considering herself too reserved.
Norah gently used the elbow of the hand holding the knife to create sdistance between her and Sean's
body. Sean seemed to keep edging toward her in the tight corner.
Norah tried to stay calm, aware that the people after her were ruthless, ready to fire at a moment's notice. The
chaos that had unfolded in the café was a clear testament to their cruelty.
She reminded herself to be patient.
Then, someone paused near the black car and began moving toward the corner.
Norah's grip on her gun tightened as she silently prepared it, hidden from view. With Sean’s back to the
approaching figure, she realized she had to act quickly to neutralize the threat before she and Sean could attack.
Norah was certain that if she didn’t handle this approaching figure, either she or Sean would end up injured.
As the figure’s footsteps got closer, Norah's focus intensified.
She kept one arm around Sean, feigning a hug, while aiming the gun in the figure’s direction. She knew she had
to kill the figure the moment he showed up. And right after dealing with him, she needed to make a quick escape
with Sean.
The footsteps continued to advance.
With each step closer, the tension in the air thickened.
