Love on the Fast Track

The relentless sun scorched the earth, sending waves of heat shimmering through the air. As Norah was about to step into her vehicle, she spotted a sleek, black luxury car parked along the roadside. The driver, dressed in black, caught sight of Norah and respectfully called out, “Miss Wilson.” With her expression unchanged, Norah approached…

Without insisting further, Norah turned to leave. “Norah, did you really come here after me?” Hearing this, Norah glanced back, noticing the immediate shift in Derek’s expression from pleasant to stern as he approached her. Derek approached steadily, his gaze fixed directly on Norah. Derek flattered himself and got the wrong idea. Despite all Norah’s…

Rhoda leaned in and whispered to Madeline, “You must employ whatever strategies necessary to secure Derek’s affection. Remember, wealth is paramount. Men can’t be trusted.” Rhoda’s gaze briefly lingered on Coen, aware of his indiscretions yet choosing a veneer of tranquility for the sake of their children. Madeline’s eyes hardened with determination, saying, “I’m aware.”…

Jamison replied earnestly, “In this department, we uphold stringent professional standards. Regardless of your previous engagements, I expect diligent study and no slacking off here.” Norah responded, “I didn’t come here to slack off.” Jamison waved his hand dismissively. “Actions speak louder than words.

At the Carter family’s villa, Kathy was relaxing on the couch while Madeline was at the dressing table, applying her makeup. “Madeline, my brother mentioned he met your parents recently.

Won’t you return to your role as chairwoman?” Joanna asked casually, holding the steering wheel while looking over at Norah. “My current focus is on heart disease research.…

“I don’t know what’s happening,” Norah murmured, but then the singer’s rich voice filled the room as she began to sing, her band providing a compelling backdrop. As the chorus hit, the crowd couldn’t resist the pull of the music, moving along to the beat. “Did you think about me, baby?” The infectious tune had…

“Let’s head to the restroom.” Norah supported Joanna, guiding her toward the bathroom with care. Joanna’s alcohol tolerance was notably low, yet her enthusiasm for drinking was high. Without Norah’s supervision, she likely would’ve overindulged. Following a relieving session in the restroom, Joanna regained some clarity and clung to Norah, eager for more drinks. “Okay,…

Emerson chose a seat as far away from Norah as possible, his actions betraying a certain discomfort. “Starbear, what’s the reason for your visit?” he asked. The sudden appearance of Starbear, after a long silence in the group chat, brought back a sense of apprehension to Emerson, even as Rosy Secret’s leader. Emerson was puzzled…

Derek felt a wave of unease. Kason, from the Hayes family, seemed to know Norah. How could that be?

Kason had distinguished himself early, joining the military police academy with outstanding merit and later…
