Chapter: 214

"Devonte's doing much better now. He's out of the woods and won't be as critical as he was. He'll need about a month or two to fully recover. But he's up for sitting up and having chats now," Norah reported.

That was the best outcome Norah could hope for.

The news of his grandfather's better condition brought a spark of joy to Kason's eyes. "Norah, thank you for everything you've done for my grandpa."

"Just do my job." Norah, sipping from a glass of water, announced, "I'll be heading out soon."

"Won't you stay a bit longer?" Kason asked, his voice laced with a hint of sadness. "Does my company make you uneasy?”

Norah looked up at him, puzzled by his question. Why would he say something like that? She recalled Kason's usually stoic demeanor.

“Kason, if there's something on your mind, just come out with it. Have I ever seemed uncomfortable around you?" Norah raised an eyebrow.

“Right now, you seem eager to leave just after finishing your work."

Setting her glass down, Norah gestured with open hands. "I've got errands to run. It's not about feeling uneasy around you. You're overthinking things, Kason."

Kason's reaction to Norah's candid response was one of surprise. Was he really overthinking? The thought of Sean sitting beside Norah today stirred something unfamiliar in Kason's heart. "Maybe you're right. Seeing you and Sean together today made me jump to conclusions."

Norah realized there was some truth to his concerns. Having attended the auction with Sean was bound to raise eyebrows. Sean's tenderness toward her piqued others' curiosity.

"We're just friends. Much like you and me," Norah clarified earnestly.

To Norah, Kason and Sean were both new friends, yet she felt a distinct connection with Kason, a sentiment only she was privy to.

Kason felt a wave of relief wash over him at her words. It mattered to him that Norah viewed him and Sean on equal terms. He was not comfortable with her showing favoritism toward others. He hoped to stand out as someone special in her eyes.

Sean hadn't come to Nexa Tech. for a while.

As Sean entered the company, Phillip mentioned, "The HR department found a secretary for you to assist with company matters. I've spoken to the HR manager. This person is well-qualified and highly educated."

Sean's interest was minimal. "Alright."

The employees couldn't hide their surprise and excitement at seeing Sean and Phillip, their reactions lighting up the group chat.

"Guess what? Mr. Scott has arrived!"

Sean was the pillar of Nexa Tech. Without him, the company would have been just another player in the tech industry. But thanks to the government's push for innovation and Sean's leadership, Nexa Tech had thrived since its inception.

The buzz of excitement spread through the office. It had been ages since Sean last visited.

Upon reaching the second floor, Phillip caught a glimpse of a woman in the secretary's office. "Mr. Scott, let me fetch the secretary for you."

“Sure.”

Dressed sharply in a suit, Sean exuded charm as he walked into his office.
