Chapter: 1211
“But I wouldn't have even been able to compete without your car,”
Nora countered, determined to pay him.
“Honey, you don't need to spell it out for me," Sean said, his voice softening.
Nora froze. “'Honey'?"
His sudden use of such an intimate term caught her off guard.
Sean kept his eyes fixed on the road, his expression unreadable.
“Every celebrity holds a special place in their fans' hearts, don't they?" I liked to call you ‘Honey’. Can't I do that?"
A strange feeling bloomed in Nora's chest.
She tried to suppress it. "Even if you are a fan," she said sternly, "it's not appropriate to use such an intimate word. I have a responsibility to set a good example to my fans. I have to give you what you deserve."
Her voice hardened. “So, hand over your account number. This is something you've earned."
Sean knew arguing further would only make things awkward. He quickly rattled off a string of digits.
“Here's my account number if you insist."
He was cleverly using this opportunity to diffuse the tension.
He turned his head slightly, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “Looks like there's no pen or paper, though. Seems fate has other plans for my account number."
Nora burst into laughter, her eyes sparkling with amusement. She glanced around the car, and there it was-a pen lying casually on the seat. But, how could there be a pen without paper?
“It's okay. I memorized it," she said confidently. Without missing a beat, she quickly rattled off the string of numbers the man had just given her, each digit flawlessly in place.
Sean glanced at her in surprise. Norah's memory was impressive.
Despite how quickly he had recited the numbers, she had memorized every single one.
"I'll transfer the money to you as soon as I have it. Thank you for tonight," Nora said, her voice sincere and grateful.
She had a wonderful time tonight, a warm glow of contentment lingering in her heart.
She felt a surge of happiness at meeting a playmate who not only met her expectations but also made her feel safe and contented.
Sean chuckled softly. "You're welcome."
Stubborn as she was, Norah's determination was endearing. Since she insisted on giving him the money, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
He hadn't anticipated earning extra income tonight.
