Chapter: 60

Seemingly casually, Sean asked, "Miss Wilson, I recall you own a car, don't you? Why would you choose to wait for a bus in the rain?"

“I came out for some personal stuff." Norah briefly stopped drying her hair, then resumed. It was clear she didn't want to go into details.

Sean sensed her reluctance and smoothly shifted the conversation, saying, “Are you on your way to Dreamview Villas, Miss Wilson?"

"Yes," Norah answered, her eyes downcast, her voice soft.

Phillip chimed in, "Mr. Scott, the office..."

"Let them wait."

"Mr. Scott, do you have important matters to attend to? You don't have to go out of your way for me. You can drop me off along the road, and I'll catch a taxi." Norah, with her hair and body mostly dry, overheard Phillip's words and promptly interjected, “I'd feel bad if I hinder your work."

Phillip, torn between whose advice to trust, used the red light to ask, "Mr. Scott, what do you think I should do?"

With Dreamview Villas and the company lying in opposite directions, making the round trip would eat up hours.

Sean, with a hint of laziness, lifted his eyes. "Miss Wilson, if you're worried about holding up my schedule, then accompany me to the office. Once there, I'll get another car to take you home."

"There's no need to bother. I can easily flag down a taxi by the road."

"With the storm like this, are you sure about that?"

Norah glanced outside. The relentless downpour seemed to be getting even worse. The weather wasn't on her side. Turning down his offer now would seem rather ungrateful. “You're right, Mr. Scott."

Norah surrendered the fight, realizing it would only slow her down.

She'd already faced enough delays today because of Derek.

At the thought of Derek, a flicker of irritation passed over her face, her heart momentarily burning with annoyance.

"Miss Wilson, is something troubling you?"

Caught off guard while checking her phone, Norah paused before responding, "No."

“I saw your expression change. I wondered if you were facing a problem you couldn't solve, Miss Wilson."

Sean retrieved a business card from the side pocket and passed it over. "If there's anything you can't handle, don't hesitate to call me. And if I'm not around, you can contact Phillip."

He held the card out and added, “Feel free to mention my name."

Norah took the card, tucked it away, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Scott."

She assumed his gesture was mainly because of her role as his sister's and grandfather's doctor, which made it easy for her to accept his offer.

A quiet moment fell over the car.
