NovelEnglishChapter 377: She had never dealt with anyone so infuriating, so impossible.
Her stomach churned with frustration, and she typed out a quick, half-hearted response. "Got it!" On the other end of the conversation, Norton stared at her message, his expression darkening. That was it? That was all she had to say? Dissatisfied, he turned his phone toward Leif, arching an eyebrow. "What's that supposed to mean? Is she coming to pickup or not?" Leif blinked at the message, caught completely off guard. He hesitated, rubbing the back of his head. “She's a sharp one. Even I can't tell what she's thinking." Norton's gaze hardened at Leif's response, clearly unimpressed.
"Since when did you start singing her praises? What did she give you?" Norton's voice was laced with suspicion.
"I swear, nothing at all!" Leif immediately defended himself, his expression earnest.

Leif shook his head firmly. "No, not at all." "Hmph. Then remember where your loyalties lie and whose side you're on,” Norton said, his voice dripping with warning.
Without another word, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Brian. "I've done my part." Brian's response cinstantly.
"Thanks!" Norton smirked. With the years they'd spent as friends, he knew Brian well enough to understand that a simple "thanks" carried weight. And coming from Brian, it was enough.
Meanwhile, as Yvonne paid the bill and made her way back, unease settled in her chest. The more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
Norton was never one to be serious about his work. If he said a week, he meant a week.
Even if things were ahead of schedule, he wouldn't return so abruptly.
Updates found on galThere had to be a reason.
Then it clicked.
Rachel had learned about Norton's return from Brian. It had to be Brian's plan all along-getting Norton to cback early so he could get close to Rachel.

If she let this happen, he'd only end up breaking Rachel's heart.
The next day, Yvonne woke up early.
Once everything was set, she carried an armful of supplies and made her way to Rachel's place.
She took full control of breakfast and lunch, handling every step framm cooking to cleaning, making sure Rachel didn't have to lift a finger.
She even set up the TV and queued up Rachel's favorite shows. Rachel spent the entire day testing, ΟΠ alternating between eating and sleeping, and her condition improved significantly. Especially with Yvonne's home-cooked meals, her strength seemed to return even faster.
