Chapter: 1576

Norah and Sean stood at the ski lift station when they bumped into Alyssa and her friends.

“Hey, Miss Wilson! Fancy seeing you here!" Alyssa approached with a familiar air. It was clear she'd been waiting for Norah specifically.

Greta snorted. She didn't understand why Alyssa was so friendly with Norah. Even though someone from their group had already left, Greta's dislike for Norah remained unchanged.

Running into her today reminded Greta of their plan. She was determined to teach Norah a lesson.

“Hello, Miss Castro,” Norah said.

Sean's gaze shifted between them. They had met only yesterday, but now they seemed much closer.

It was hard to understand the way women interacted. Yesterday, they had argued; today, they greeted each other with smiles.

“Where are you going to ski? Want to join us?" Alyssa asked, already deeming Norah as a friend after being rescued by her last night.

Norah declined politely. "You should practice more on the blue slopes. We're heading to the red slopes.”

Alyssa sighed, "I was hoping we could have some fun together."

Greta chimed in, “I know a slope where beginners and experts can ski. It's an off-piste trail we found."

Alyssa's face lit up. “Great! Miss Wilson, come with us!"

Sean pulled Norah aside and shook his head. “Off-piste trails are dangerous. I'd avoid them if I were you. The lift’s here. Let's go.”

Norah enjoyed fun activities, but only if they were safe. She was aware of the risks associated with off-piste skiing.

“Miss Castro, off-piste trails are dangerous. You might want to think twice before heading out," she cautioned.

Alyssa, having dismissed a man from their group last night, was now only with two women. She seemed unconcerned about Norah's caution, confident that Greta would not cause any harm to them.

She urged, “The trail Greta mentioned is safe. Miss Wilson, join us."

Greta sneered, “Are you scared? It's a safe trail. Admit it, you're just being cautious. Alyssa, let's go. I promise you'll have a blast."

Alyssa waved to Norah with a longing look. “Alright, Miss Wilson, goodbye."

Norah shook her head at Alyssa’s naive trust. She recognized Greta’s baiting tactics but felt no anger.

Sean stroked his chin, pondering. “I hope they can take care of Miss Castro. Some parts of off-piste trails may not be dangerous, but one can never be completely certain."

They opted not to take the risk. Enjoying their ski day safely was their priority.

Greta gritted her teeth, looking back to see that Norah and Sean had not followed. She thought to herself, "They flaunt their skiing but lack courage."

Left with no choice, she decided to lead Alyssa to a safer skiing area.
