Chapter: 177
Norah shifted Kason's computer away, her tone firm yet caring. "I've told you before, Kason, you must rest and avoid working. Yet every time I visit, you're still working."
Kason lowered his gaze, masking the mischievous glint in his eyes.
While he devoted most of the day to resting, he set aside a specific time each day to attend to his work. He knew Norah would visit him at that time frame.
“I am the head of the Hayes family, carrying the responsibility on my shoulders," Kason stated.
Norah nodded. “I understand. I am not saying you shouldn't work. Do you understand the concept of moderation in work? Anyway, today's check-up and visit concludes here. Now, I'm off to enjoy myself with Joanna." With a lighthearted grin, she rose to leave.
A contemplative look crossed Kason's features. "To the Glamour Club?"
With eagerness, Joanna responded, “Yes, the Glamour Club is our regular spot for outings."
The Glamour Club's reputation for its exceptional facilities and ambiance grew as time passed, drawing in many young elites seeking entertainment and relaxation.
Joanna, a regular there, couldn't wait to introduce Norah to the Glamour Club right after she learned about Norah's having signed the divorce papers.
A look of concern clouded Kason's expression. "It's perfectly fine for both of you to go out, but I can't help but worry about a potential repeat of the last incident. Two bodyguards are stationed at the entrance. Norah, please take them with you to ensure your safety."
Before Norah could respond, Joanna interjected, “Who goes to the Glamour Club with bodyguards? You..."
However, she stopped mid-sentence, recalling that both Sean and Kason brought bodyguards with them on their trip to the Glamour Club.
"Well, I suppose it should be alright," Joanna remarked, clearing her throat before offering an awkward smile.
Norah chuckled. "Don't worry. Keep these bodyguards with you for protection. Joanna and I will be just fine."
Determined to avoid danger, Norah vowed to exercise caution throughout her visit to the Glamour Club. She acknowledged Kason's concern as valid and appreciated his thoughtfulness.
"Alright, let's put a lid on it. We'll look after ourselves. Take care of your hand. See you later." With a wave, Norah exited the hospital alongside Joanna.
On the second floor of the Glamour Club, seated in a chamber, Norah spilled every detail to Joanna about recent events that had happened during Joanna's absence.
Joanna's eyes widened in shock as she clutched a glass, firing off a barrage of questions. "What the hell? Kaiden was kidnapped with you then? And you had took down those people? Mr. Scott personally came to pick you up? You even spent the night at his place? My goodness! So much unfolded while I was gone. I shouldn't have left! I regret missing all the drama firsthand!"
"I always knew that you were a force to be reckoned with. Those ordinary kidnappers couldn't have the chance to lay a hand on you. Kaiden's unlucky. I'm at a loss for what to say about him being mainly responsible for getting you kidnapped. I have to say he's a bit foolish. I used to think he was a playboy, but my judgment was off," Joanna commented after a while.
One of Norah's impressions of Kaiden was that he was talkative, especially around familiar people.
Norah recalled when the police arrived to take her statement, informing her of Juan's death. When Sean showed up to pick her up, she hadn't yet killed Juan. She wondered if Sean's people had finished the job.
Norah lowered her head and took a sip of the pungent liquor, feeling a slight burn as it slid down her throat. Sean had neglected to mention this detail, only emphasizing that she should insist those kidnappers died due to infighting when questioned by the police.
"Kaiden's personality isn't something you can grasp after a few encounters. It requires long-term interaction. Actually, it always takes a long time for one to know other people. Take you for instance. I used to think you were a rebellious little princess, but it turns out you were just putting on an act," Norah remarked.
Joanna chuckled, reminiscing about her embarrassing moments. “Let's not linger on the past, Norah. Spare me the teasing. I was quite immature then and had my fair share of awkward moments. Fortunately, your discerning eye recognized my potential and guided me back on track. That was when I truly began to shine."
