“Excuse me, are you Joanna?” The man’s voice had a cold edge to it. His face was obscured by the light, making it difficult to make out his features, but his towering figure emanated a chilling presence.
“Yes, Mr. Kason Hayes,” Joanna responded, her tone steady and assured. Since the four major families in Glophia were evenly matched in power, she didn’t feel the need to flatter anyone.
Kason took a moment to silently survey the chamber’s occupants.
Joanna wore a pink strapless dress, her hair tied up, accentuating her graceful neck.
Sitting beside Joanna, Norah donned a similar silver-white dress, her form elegantly displayed. She casually sipped her drink, her gaze lowered, with her hair draped softly across her chest. The soft overhead lighting lent her an additional hint of mystique.
Kason signaled for his bodyguards to remain by the door and sat across from the two women.
“You’ve asked for me.”
“Do you have news on the Supernatural Doctor?” Kason sat straight, locking eyes with Joanna. “I trust you’re not playing tricks on me.” His tone was cold, devoid of any warmth. His words carried a chill that seemed almost threatening.
Norah and Joanna were unfazed by Kason’s intimidating tone. Having faced life-threatening situations from a young age, Norah chuckled lightly and asked, “Mr. Hayes, how exactly do you intend to convince the Supernatural Doctor to assist you?”
Kason was to the point, stating, “With money.”
“And how much would that be?”
Kason turned his attention to Norah, replying, “I don’t see the need to discuss specifics with you.”
He then turned his attention back to Joanna. “Where can I find the Supernatural Doctor?”
Joanna glanced at Norah, seeking guidance. With Norah remaining silent, Joanna was at a loss for words.
Raising her glass to Kason, Norah said, “Mr. Hayes, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Supernatural Doctor, the very one you’re looking for.”
Kason frowned in disbelief as he heard this. It was hard for him to imagine that the lovely girl before him was the famed Supernatural Doctor.
Kason found it hard to believe that such a young woman possessed the ability to save lives. He scrutinized Norah with skepticism. Silence enveloped the room, punctuated only by their breaths.
“Are you truly the Supernatural Doctor?” Kason broke the silence, his voice laced with doubt.
“Yes.”
Norah grinned, her presence illuminated by the neon lights, giving her an air of mystery and authority, as if she were the ruler of the night.
“Mr. Hayes, perhaps you’d like to share how you plan to persuade me to offer my assistance?” Norah’s cold words caught Kason off guard.
“If you are really the Supernatural Doctor, I’ll pay twenty million for your services. Would that suffice?”
Kason scrutinized the youthful and stunning Norah. Initially, he assumed she was merely a companion tagging along with Joanna and didn’t give her much thought. However, now that her true identity had surfaced, he couldn’t help but regard her seriously.
Kason noticed her beauty wasn’t just skin-deep, unlike the typical high-society women of Glophia. Norah exuded a distinct charm.
Kason thought of her as a night-blooming rose, captivating yet perilous; a solitary flower on a cliff’s edge, dignified and proud; a lotus in a pond, unmatched in her grace.
Upon hearing the offer of twenty million, Norah remained unfazed. “Is that your best offer?” she asked.
Kason barely managed to keep his impatience in check and asked, “What do you want?”
Norah rose to her feet, closed the distance between them, and gently caressed Kason’s cheek, her fingers tracing his jawline. With a hint of allure in her voice, she asked, “Mr. Hayes, are you currently seeing anyone?”
Joanna, observing from the side, was visibly taken aback.
She marveled at Norah’s boldness, astounded at how effortlessly she had taken command of the situation. After all, they were dealing with Kason!
Except for the influential Kasan, the Hayes family head stood out as the youngest among the four major family heads in Glophia. Known for his chastity during military service and staying single since leading the Hayes clan, Kasan was a real catch!
Kasan looked incredibly handsome, his disciplined demeanor showing his military background, with sharp and determined eyes.
Joanna, despite her reputation as a heartbreaker in Glophia society, never dared to act freely around Kasan. She always addressed him with the utmost respect, as one would expect of someone of his stature.
Joanna admitted to herself that Norah had excellent taste in men this time.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Visibly irked, Kasan seized Norah’s hand, his gaze hardening as if to warn her. “I find it hard to accept that you’re the Supernatural Doctor. Why this sudden interest in me and the Hayes family? What is your real agenda?”
Even though Kasan held her hand lightly, Norah remained composed. She tilted her head slightly and reiterated, “Mr. Hayes, are you currently seeing anyone?”
Feeling the warmth from her hand, Kasan found it unsettling. He averted his gaze, asking sharply, “Who exactly are you?”
Joanna stepped in, hoping to smooth things over. “Mr. Hayes, I can vouch that Norah is the Supernatural Doctor. There’s no question about it. And to clarify for Norah, Mr. Kasan Hayes is indeed single. He has no girlfriend.”
Norah grinned and mused aloud, “No girlfriend, huh?”
Kasan let go of Norah’s hand abruptly. “Supernatural Doctor, state your terms. My grandfather is in dire need of your medical expertise.”
Norah grinned mischievously. “I can pay a visit to him, but you’ve got to be mine for a day.”
Hearing Norah’s words, Joanna and Kason both showed a shift in their demeanor.
Joanna, observing the earnest expression on Norah’s face, pondered if a single day would be enough to enjoy the company of someone as intriguing as Kason.
Kason fumed. “Why do you treat me like this, Supernatural Doctor? I’m earnestly seeking your assistance.”
Finding the Supernatural Doctor had been a formidable task. Despite expending vast resources, Kason had come up empty-handed until the Andrews family hinted that Joanna might have a connection to the Supernatural Doctor. Following a recent call, he arrived, clutching at the possibility of a solution.
To his astonishment, the Supernatural Doctor did not attempt to disguise her identity, exposing herself completely to him. She was both young and attractive.
This was undoubtedly their first encounter, as Kason could not recall any prior meetings. Convinced by Joanna’s sincerity, he accepted that Norah was the Supernatural Doctor.
Norah reclined on the sofa, her voice casual and carefree.
“I’m being sincere with you. I’m not joking around.”
The offer of twenty million seemed insignificant to her. She had plenty of cash stashed away in her account.
