Chapter: 791
Susanna exclaimed in surprise. “Are you here for a meal too?"
Amabel gave Norah a casual glance as she sat beside Susanna, offering a polite smile.
"I joined my dad here today. He had a business meeting at noon. I tagged along for lunch, but honestly, the discussion was more dull than I expected, so I slipped out early."
She found the details of the company collaboration uninteresting.
After finishing her meal, she opted for a stroll.
“Where's Sean? Isn't he around?"
Amabel winked playfully, pretending to just notice Norah. “And who might this lovely lady be?"
“Let me introduce her. This is my sister-in-law, Norah Wilson. Norah, meet Amabel Morris. She's Spencer's sister, someone you're familiar with."
Susanna hoped to keep Amabel away from her brother. Being a perceptive woman, she had picked up on Amabel's feelings for Sean during her visits to the company.
Despite Amabel's efforts to conceal it, Susanna's extensive novel reading had honed her instincts. She was certain Amabel was purposefully getting closer to Sean. Phillip was really unsatisfactory. He could have asked Amabel to leave, but she was still employed at Nexa Tech.
Now that she had come over, was it possible that she wanted to compete with Norah?
Amabel's smile stiffened for a moment. "Sister-in-law? Is Sean married? I'm in Glophia, yet I wasn't aware of this news. Hello, Miss Wilson, I'm Amabel. Spencer has mentioned you to me."
Norah nodded politely. "Susanna was just teasing. Sean and I aren't married yet."
She didn't say anything further. Was Amabel acquainted with Sean? She thought to herself.
"Norah is still my brother's girlfriend for now, but I think she will be my sister-in-law soon."
Susanna smiled as she spoke, subtly revealing her resolve to ship Sean and Norah.
Norah likely didn't know that Amabel was working as a secretary at Sean's company. Susanna decided to nudge Phillip a bit more on this.
Working as a secretary really wasn't suitable for someone Like Amabel.
"I see." Amabel brushed a stray lock of hair from her face. "It's been ages since I last saw Sean. I thought he had gotten married secretly. Turns out it's just a misunderstanding."
“It's not a misunderstanding. Norah is definitely going to marry Sean one day."
Susanna's comment made Amabel's smile stiffen. "Well..."
So what if Norah was his girlfriend? They weren't married yet, and even if they were, Amabel believed she still saw a chance for herself.
She had always longed for Sean since they were kids, and she wasn't ready to give up on him yet.
A malice glint flashed briefly in her eyes, unnoticed by the others.
