Chapter: 89
With Kason persisting, Norah ceased her protests. "Joanna and I plan to stay at Glamour Club a bit longer. Mr. Hayes, if you're here for Kaiden, please feel free to look for him. We'll let you know when we're about to leave."
Norah realized the Scott and Hayes family would continue to afford her certain privileges amid her time delivering medical treatments to their family members.
At this thought, she glanced up at Kason.
Even in such a casual setting, Kason was impeccably dressed in a sharp black suit, his hair perfectly styled, showcasing his striking features. His military background was not visible, yet his authoritative presence was undeniable.
Right then, she could sense Kason's subtle stare fixed on her. She gave a sly smile and asked, "Mr. Hayes, is there something else you'd like to discuss with me in private?"
Kason appeared briefly unsettled as he rose to his feet. "No. Miss Wilson, just make sure you don't slip away unnoticed.”
After Kason had left, Norah couldn't help but laugh. Kason was certainly a character. Did he think her previous words were some excuse to drive him away? His parting words were peculiar.
Joanna, barely focusing through her drunkenness, urged Norah, “Come on, drink up! We're not heading home until we've had our fill! I think I can handle three more bottles!"
Norah gently brushed off Joanna's hand and said, "That's enough. You've had plenty."
With a giggle, Joanna drained her cup. "Norah, have a drink... Oh no..."
As Joanna seemed on the brink of vomiting, Norah quickly pressed a spot on Joanna's hand, averting the immediate crisis.
"Let's head to the restroom." Norah supported Joanna, guiding her toward the bathroom with care.
Joanna's alcohol tolerance was notably low, yet her enthusiasm for drinking was high. Without Norah's supervision, she Likely would've overindulged.
Following a relieving session in the restroom, Joanna regained some clarity and clung to Norah, eager for more drinks.
"Okay, you've had enough to drink. Time to take a break and then head back," Norah helped Joanna back to their spot, advising restraint.
Joanna, now a tad more clear-headed, pouted and said, "Yes, yes, I get it."
Joanna appreciated Norah's concern, but the desire to continue drinking was hard to ignore.
"Did I really see Mr. Hayes earlier? I didn't imagine that, did 1?"
Joanna felt dizzy, her memories a bit fuzzy. "Did he come to invite you for something, Norah?"
With a light tap on Joanna's head, Norah reassured, "You're not making it up, but the alcohol's messing with your memory. Mr. Hayes did stop by, but he has already left."
Joanna touching her forehead, accepted, "Oh, I must've been mistaken then."
Down on the dance floor, Kathy was having a blast with Madeline.
Everything was fantastic except for the rule against getting too cozy with guys issued by Derek.
Madeline's uninhibited vibe at the bar took Kathy by surprise.
