Chapter: 691

“Phillip, where are you off to?" Aren't we supposed to leave?"

Norah reached out to halt him.

“I'm in a hurry; I need to use the restroom. Please wait for me in the car for a short while.”

Phillip hurriedly headed to the restroom with an urgent expression on his face.

Norah showed understanding. But the mere thought of meeting Sean caused her to take a deep breath.

The disagreement was minor, nothing significant.

In the past, she had frequently argued with Derek, Sharon, and Kathy.

Norah met Sean's gaze as she opened the car door.

Sean wore a sharply tailored suit with a white shirt buttoned to the collar, his Adam's apple prominent, emitting an aura of restraint and aloofness.

His dark eyes were fixed on her continuously.

“Are you still upset with me?"

Norah had barely settled in the car when she heard Sean's inquiring tone.

She pursed her lips and replied, "No."

Her anger had subsided, and she was prepared to have a nice talk with him, "Then why didn't you respond to my messages?"

"I was occupied and didn't check my phone. Do you check yours when you're busy?"

She countered with her own question, catching Sean by surprise.

When deeply focused on work, he seldom checked his phone.

He vehemently defended himself, saying, “You didn't respond even after finishing work."

He pointed to the most recent message, asserting, "I sent it right after you finished work."

Norah was about to clarify but burst into laughter suddenly.

She covered her mouth, as she laughed heartily, the cheerful sound resonating in the car.

"What's amusing?"

Sean frowned, appearing displeased. He interpreted her lack of response as a sign of anger, believing that she was giving him the silent treatment.

“If you don't provide a reasonable explanation today, I won't allow you to leave."
