Chapter: 17
Norah, hearing the offer of twenty million, remained unfazed. "Is that your best offer? It's hardly compelling."
Kason managed to keep his impatience in check and asked, "What do you want?"
Norah rose to her feet, closed the distance between them and gently caressed Kason's cheek, her fingers tracing his jawline. With a hint of allure in her voice, she asked, "Mr. Hayes, are you currently seeing anyone?"
Joanna, observing from the side, was visibly taken aback. She marveled at Norah's boldness! She was astounded at how Norah had effortlessly taken command of the situation! After all, they were dealing with Kason!
Except for the most influential one, Kason, the Hayes family head, stood out as the youngest among the four major family heads in Glophia. Known for his chastity during military service and staying single since leading the Hayes clan, Kason was a real catch!
Kason looked incredibly handsome, showing his military background in his disciplined demeanor with sharp and determined eyes.
Joanna, despite her reputation as a heartbreaker in Glophia society, never dared to act freely around Kason. She always addressed him with the utmost respect as Mr. Hayes.
Joanna admitted to herself that Norah had excellent taste in men this time.
"What's the meaning of this?" Visibly irked, Kason seized Norah's hand, his gaze hardening as if to warn her. "I find it hard to accept that you're the Supernatural Doctor. Why this sudden interest in me and the Hayes family? What's your real identity?"
Even as Kason held her hand tightly, Norah remained composed. She cocked her head slightly and reiterated, "Mr. Hayes, are you currently seeing anyone?"
Feeling the warmth from her hand, Kason found it unsettling. He averted his gaze, asking sharply, “Who exactly are you?"
Joanna stepped in, hoping to smooth things over. “Mr. Hayes, I can vouch that Norah is the Supernatural Doctor. There's no question about it. And to clarify for Norah, Mr. Kason Hayes is indeed single. He has no girlfriend."
Norah grinned and mused aloud, "No girlfriend, huh?"
Kason let go of Norah's hand abruptly. "Supernatural Doctor, state your terms. My grandfather is in dire need of your medical expertise."
Norah grinned mischievously. "I can pay a visit to him. But you've got to be mine for a day."
Hearing Norah's words, Joanna and Kason both showed a shift in their demeanor.
Joanna, observing the earnest expression on Norah's face, pondered if a single day was enough to enjoy the company of someone as intriguing as Kason.
Kason fumed, "Why do you tease me like this, Supernatural Doctor? I'm earnestly seeking your assistance."
Finding the Supernatural Doctor had been a formidable task. Despite expending vast resources, Kason had come up empty-handed until the Andrews family hinted that Joanna might have a connection to the Supernatural Doctor. Following a recent call, he arrived, clutching at the possibility of a solution.
To his astonishment, the Supernatural Doctor did not attempt to disguise her identity, exposing herself completely to him. She was both young and attractive. This was undoubtedly their first encounter, as Kason could not recall any prior meetings.
Convinced by Joanna's sincerity, Kason accepted that Norah was the Supernatural Doctor.
Norah reclined on the sofa, her voice casual and carefree. "I'm being sincere with you. I'm not joking around."
The offer of twenty million seemed insignificant to her. She had plenty of cash stashed away in her account.
Norah lifted her glass and stated, "You heard my condition, Mr. Hayes. Think it before committing."
