Chapter: 1214

“When are you coming back?" The concern in his voice was palpable.

"So eager for me to return. Worried I won't make it to the finals?"

Nora teased back. The familiarity brought a brief silence from him.

"Alright, just listen to Amy. It's dangerous out there. Don't trust anyone too easily, okay?" the man cautioned gently.

Nora listened patiently.

She knew he was just worried. She missed him a bit since leaving home days ago.

“I know. You should rest too. I'll be back soon."

Nora reluctantly hung up, her phone warm from the call. Right now, she really wished she could be with him.

Drying her hair with a blow dryer, she idly checked her phone. Bored, a friend request notification popped up on Facebook.

Seeing the name of the requester, her eyes widened.

“Sean Scott?"

The fan from tonight? How did he find her account? This was Linked to her personal number. It was her private account!

Only a few trusted friends were added here. How did he get her number?

Puzzled, she turned off the dryer and tapped “accept”.

As a celebrity, it wasn't ideal to connect with fans privately, but she couldn't help her curiosity about how he'd obtained her private number.

The moment Nora accepted the friend request, a message popped up from Sean.

"Hey," he said.

“How did you even get my number?" Nora shot back.

"I used a method that's not exactly easy to explain. Can I at least stay on your friend list?" Sean persisted.

Nora arched an eyebrow, impressed by Sean's ability to track her down.

“What do you want from me?" she asked.

“I thought maybe we could be friends after tonight," Sean replied.

Nora nodded thoughtfully. After the evening they'd had, being friends didn't seem entirely out of the question.

She didn't respond further, engrossed in the news on her phone.
