Chapter: 103

Juliana was mad at Derek since the latter had wrongly placed his affection on a gold digger like Madeline who loved wealth and power over him. Norah was supposed to be the one he should have treasured from the very beginning.

Reflecting on Derek and Norah's shared history, Juliana pondered if the marriage she had insisted on was a mistake. The Carter family, she realized, was indebted to Norah.

Juliana issued a final command, "We cannot allow you to bring us shame. If you intend to be with Madeline, finalize the divorce formally and swiftly, or I shall handle it on your behalf!"

In her youth, Juliana was known for her decisiveness and strength, qualities she retained into her elder years.

"ALL right. Get out of here!" Juliana directed him toward the study door, adding, "Don't you dare come back until this is resolved. I have no desire to see you."

The mere sight of Derek brought Norah to Juliana's mind, reminding Juliana of how remarkable Norah was.

Derek exited with a bow, his eyes betraying no emotion.

Following her vacation, Norah returned to her work. As she arrived, she sensed a mischievous gaze upon her.

After slipping into her white coat and arriving at her office, Norah spotted a lavish bouquet of roses on her desk.

Norah furrowed her brows, puzzled about who might have sent her flowers.

Jolie, who had arrived early, approached Norah and shared, "Norah, I was the one who had placed these roses here. I encountered a delivery person searching for your office. Was someone trying to court you?"

Without looking up, Baylor commented, “Dr. Wilson is quite attractive. It's no surprise she has admirers. However, such personal items shouldn't clutter the office. Jamison isn't fond of that."

As if on cue, Jamison appeared at the office doorway, his expression darkening at the sight of the roses in Norah's possession.

"This is a place of work, not a stage for love stories. Norah, I expect those roses to be gone by the time I return," he stated icily.

"Prepare for the upcoming meeting."

Jolie playfully stuck out her tongue, adding, "Oh, I forgot to mention. Jamison dislikes anything unrelated to work being in the office. I'll head out now."

Baylor prompted Norah, "If you like them, get someone to ship them home. If not, just toss them out."

He rose, grabbed his notebook and pen, then followed Jolie out.

It was only after that moment that Norah found the time to glance down at the words written on the note among the stunning roses in full bloom. "Norah, it's a new day. Hope you enjoy it."

The note lacked a name, and the handwriting was messy, Likely written by a worker at the flower shop.

Norah was baffled. Who would give her such a large bouquet of roses?

She mulled over recent encounters and concluded nobody would be inclined to send her roses.

With that thought, Norah disposed of the roses in the bin, planning to remove them during her lunch break, then swiftly put the matter out of her mind.

Yet, an unexpected continuation unfolded.
