Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 10:

Norah was cautious about the gun but reassured Joanna, “It’s fine. The door of the Glamour Club is tough. Let’s wait for help to arrive.” She had previously reached out to the Andrews family for assistance. Given their protective stance toward her, she was confident help would arrive soon.

Norah was confident that as long as the Scott and Hayes families were present, they would be safe, no matter what was happening outside. Joanna was the only one who seemed worried.

Norah took her time with her drink, making efforts to soothe Joanna. As her friend, Norah felt the need to protect and comfort her.

Joanna, drawing comfort from Norah’s composed demeanor, eventually relaxed, saying, “Alright.” The noise outside eventually died down, followed by another knock at the door.

“Is Miss Andrews here? I’m a bodyguard from the Scott family. It’s safe now. You can come out now.”

Joanna looked at Norah and asked, “Norah, should we answer it?”

After listening attentively, Norah said, “Just open it. Don’t worry. As a lady of the Andrews family, you should show some confidence.”

Joanna chuckled, regaining her usual self-assurance.

Kason, cleaning his hands of blood, noticed the distinguished man lounging on the couch and greeted, “Mr. Scott.”

Sean Scott reclined on the sofa with his legs crossed, exuding an air of nobility and aloofness despite his seemingly relaxed posture. “Bloodshed is inevitable whenever we cross paths.”

Tossing the bloody handkerchief away, Kason asked, “How did you know to find me here? Have you set a trap for me?”

Kason’s visit to the Glamour Club had been spontaneous, prompted by a call from the Andrews family.

With a slight downturn of his gaze, Sean responded, “What trap? It was merely a coincidence. Tracking the movements of the Hayes head isn’t a challenge.”

Sean’s attention shifted to Kason, probing, “What brings you to the Glamour Club? Were you here to meet someone?”

Kason remained tight-lipped, avoiding the question. “That’s none of your concern, Mr. Scott. Now that this ordeal is over, I’ll be on my way. Your team can wrap things up here.”

Sean’s expression subtly shifted, betraying a hint of curiosity. “I’m curious, what could make you this agitated? The Supernatural Doctor?”

Sean smiled and added, “I was wondering if you had seen the Supernatural Doctor tonight.”

Kason’s expression soured as he replied, “Mr. Scott, just be direct with what you’re after. Why beat around the bush?”

Sean’s response was even-tempered. “My intentions are clear. I’m looking to buy information about the Supernatural Doctor. The Supernatural Doctor has disappeared for years. Both Mr. Devonte Hayes and the Scott family need the Supernatural Doctor’s services.”

Sean was pressing Kason for information about the Supernatural Doctor.

Kason, recalling the intriguing Norah he had encountered, clenched his teeth and responded, “I need to ask the Supernatural Doctor’s permission before I share any details. Mr. Scott, you’re aware of the Supernatural Doctor’s capabilities. A measure of respect is due.”

Sean understood the need for patience. Remaining calm, he stated, “I’m in no rush. Go ahead and seek the Supernatural Doctor’s consent first.”

The tension was palpable in the luxurious chamber, with neither party willing to back down. Despite Kason’s military background, he acknowledged Sean’s more intimidating presence. It puzzled him how the head of one of the elite families in Glophia could exude such animosity.

At that moment, Sean’s assistant, Phillip Dixon, entered and announced, “Mr. Scott, Mr. Hayes’ nephew, and Spencer from the Morris family are here.”

Sean nodded and said to Kason, “You can catch up with the two youngsters outside. I’ll wait here for the news.”

Sean then lit a cigarette and skillfully formed a smoke ring. “Phillip, please show Mr. Hayes out.”

Next to Sean stood the tall, muscular Phillip, dressed in black, motioning for Kason to accompany him. “Hayes, please follow me.”

Catching a glimpse of Sean’s serious demeanor, Kason realized that Sean was determined to get details about the Supernatural Doctor.

After leading Kason to another chamber, Phillip returned and informed Sean, “Miss Andrews has been located. Should we bring her here?”

Impatiently, Sean gestured dismissively and said, “No, just ensure she gets home safely. This place isn’t a refuge. There’s no need to detain her here. Keep an eye on Kason and update me on any news regarding the Supernatural Doctor.”

Phillip hesitated but ultimately responded, “Understood.”

Norah trailed behind Joanna, anticipating a meeting with the renowned figure of Glophia, Sean. However, they were swiftly escorted out of the Glamour Club. Bryson himself came to pick them up. Upon seeing Joanna, he scolded her. “Didn’t you receive the warning about Mr. Scott’s visit? Why linger here? Do you wish to court danger? Think of the risks you faced!”

The back door of the sleek black Volkswagen Phaeton swung open. Inside, Bryson, clad in a sharp gray suit with silver-framed glasses perched on his nose, reprimanded Joanna with an icy look.

Joanna smiled apologetically and said, “It was Norah’s first day out after the divorce. I thought a little outing would be nice. I didn’t anticipate crossing paths with Mr. Scott’s crew. I see the error now and won’t repeat it.”

Hearing this, Bryson’s face softened. “I’m relieved Norah was with you.” He glanced at the woman behind Joanna and said, “Thank you again.”

“Norah,”

With a casual shrug, Norah replied, “Don’t mention it. All is well. I’ll be on my way. Joanna, you should head back with Bryson.”

Bryson, adjusting his glasses, caught a glimpse of Norah. He paused momentarily, captivated, then quickly looked away, feigning indifference. Norah always seemed to catch his attention.

“Do you want a ride?” Bryson offered, hinting at concern. “It’s not safe for you to be out alone at this hour.”

Joanna quickly supported the idea. “Yes, Norah. Let us drive you. It’s really late.”

Joanna was worried about the risks of Norah traveling alone at night.

Norah accepted their offer and climbed into the car. Bryson, smiling, was a business acquaintance of Norah’s.

Norah had once played a crucial role in averting a crisis at Bryson’s company. Her actions had earned his deep respect. Indeed, Bryson’s empire, which Norah had helped safeguard, was his labor of love.

Thus, Bryson always treated Norah with the utmost respect, while Joanna playfully accused Derek of pandering every chance she got.
