Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 596

Chapter 596:

“Norah!”

She heard her ncalled. Turning around, she saw...

Corrin hurried towards her.

“We need to talk, Norah. Let's find a place.” Norah was puzzled. She was scheduled to leave for Silverdale on an

exchange program tomorrow, and it baffled her why so many people were seeking her out after work today. All

she had wanted was to go home, have dinner, and get a good night's sleep. Instead, her plans were disrupted as

she found herself meeting with numerous people after work.

Quietly, Norah turned away and continued walking forward without pause, quickening her pace as if she hadn't

heard anything.

Corrin, sure she had seen him, followed. Keeping his voice down due to the hospital setting, he persisted.

“Norah, I'm calling you. Didn't you hear me?”

Finally stopping, Norah turned with a feigned innocent expression. “Sorry, | didn’t hear you.”

Corrin, visibly frustrated, flushed with irritation.

“Okay, | need to talk to you about something.”

Norah glanced at her phone, indicating her hurry. “If you have something to say, please make it quick. I'm in a

rush.”

“Why did you cancel the cooperation?” Corrin demanded.

Corrin didn’t beat around the bush, asking straight up, “You're the mastermind behind the Wilson and Scott

Groups teaming up. We've got a few projects on the line, and now you're talking about pulling out. Do you even

realize how much the Scott Group is going to take a hit?”

Before they joined forces, both companies signed on the dotted line. Now, the Scotts were breaking that pact

and would have to pay a hefty chunk in damages. But the promise of fat profits from the partnership outweighed

the compensations the Scott Group would have to pay.

Plus, there were heaps of projects hanging in the balance. The news of their split blindsided Corrin, leaving him

reeling. Luna's words from the night before flashed in his mind; she had mentioned Norah's upcoming business

trip to Silverdale for three months, and that lit a fire under him to act fast. Luckily, he caught her just in time.

Hearing Corrin’s accusation, Norah knew her chat with Sean the night before had hit the mark. The fact that all

collaboration had ground to a halt spoke of her influence. “Why shouldn't the Scott Group pull out of the

partnership?” she asked. “Their alliance with your company was formed out of a misunderstanding. It'll be better

for them to stop now and cut their losses. They did this to also shield your company from potential losses in a

way.”

“But if they back out now, it'll hit my company hard!” Corrin’s outcry caused a stir among the onlookers,

prompting him to lower his voice. “Norah, weren't you the one who set up this alliance for my company?” He had

believed that she had done it as a way to show gratitude, her connection to his family being the only way a girl

like her could marry into a family such as the Carters. But in reality, he was overthinking it.
