Chapter: 21

Next to Sean stood the tall, muscular Phillip dressed in a black suit, motioning for Kason to accompany him. "Mr. Hayes, please follow me."

Catching a glimpse of Sean's serious demeanor, Kason realized Sean was determined to have details about Supernatural Doctor.

After leading Kason to another chamber, Phillip returned and informed Sean, “Mr. Scott, we've located Miss Andrews. Should we bring her here?"

Impatiently, Sean gestured dismissively and said, "No, just ensure she gets home safely. This place isn't a refuge. There's no need to detain her here. Keep an eye on Kason and update me on any news regarding the Supernatural Doctor."

Phillip hesitated but ultimately said, "Understood."

Norah trailed behind Joanna, anticipating a meeting with the renowned figure in Glophia, Sean. However, they were swiftly sent out of the Glamour Club.

Bryson himself came to pick them up. Upon seeing Joanna, he scolded her, "Didn't you receive the warning about Mr. Scott's visit? Why linger here? Do you wish to court danger? Imagine the risks you faced!"

The back door of the sleek black Volkswagen Phaeton swung open.

Inside, Bryson, clad in a sharp gray suit and silver-framed glasses perched on his nose, reprimanded Joanna with an icy look.

Joanna smiled apologetically and said, "It was Norah's first day out of divorce. I thought a little outing would be nice. I didn't anticipate crossing paths with Mr. Scott's crew. I see the error now and won't repeat it."

Hearing Norah's name, Bryson's stern face softened. “I'm relieved Norah was with you."

He glanced at the woman behind Joanna and said, “Thank you again, Norah."

With a casual shrug, Norah replied, "Don't mention it. All's well. I'll be on my way. Joanna, you should head back with Bryson."

Bryson, adjusting his glasses, caught a glimpse of Norah. He paused momentarily, captivated, then quickly looked away, feigning indifference. Norah always seemed to catch his attention.

"Norah, do you want me to drive you home?" Bryson offered, hinting at concern. "It's not safe at this hour for you to be out alone."

Joanna quickly supported the idea. "Yes, Norah. Let us drive you. It's really late."

Joanna worried about the risks for Norah traveling alone at night.

Norah accepted their offer and climbed into the car.

Bryson, Joanna's sibling, was a business acquaintance of Norah's.

Norah had once played a crucial role in averting a crisis at Bryson's company. Her actions had earned his deep trust.

Indeed, Bryson's empire, which Norah had helped safeguard, was his labor of love.

Thus, Bryson always treated Norah with the utmost respect, while Joanna playfully accused Derek of pandering every chance she got.

As they prepared to depart, Joanna's phone rang with a call from Kason, altering her demeanor instantly. She glanced at Norah, uncertain how to explain.

“Joanna, is everything okay?"
