Chapter: 997

Sean had mentioned he'd be there in half an hour, leaving Norah to her own devices. Spotting a bench by the entrance, she settled down and pulled out her phone.

With her head lowered, she texted Gilda.

“Miss Norah, shouldn't you have bodyguards? You need protection if the killer shows," Gilda typed, worried.

Norah replied coolly, “No need. Just focus on your task."

“But we're worried. “You're alone. What if something happens?"

A glint of steel flickered in Norah's eyes. "Let's just see if they have the guts," she typed, her voice laced with a dangerous edge.

"Mr. Larson, Mr. Bates, let's go. I have reserved a private room for us."

"I have picked out a fine bottle of wine. Let's enjoy ourselves thoroughly tonight."

"Wanna an escort? No worries. Head inside, and I'll find you any woman you desire."

Several cars pulled up in front of the Cloud Club, and ten middle- aged men got out of their vehicles. Their Loud arrival instantly drew attention.

The men entered, their arms linked around each other's shoulders, while the woman seated at the entrance quickly drew their eyes.

Dressed simply in a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, her long hair pulled back in a low ponytail, she was engrossed in her phone, her delicate profile visible.

"Look, there's a beautiful woman sitting here."

Approaching her, one of the men whistled and asked, “Hey, beautiful, care to join us at the Cloud Club?"

Norah stopped typing and glanced up. The men were taken aback by her beauty.

At the sight of her face, they felt their breath were taken away.

Unlike the cheesy women they'd seen around the bar, her beauty was strikingly exceptional and one-of-a-kind.

Norah saw they were strangers, resumed her messaging, and responded coldly, “I'm waiting for someone.”

She believed her attitude was clear, but the men persisted.

They were enchanted by her beauty and had intentions beyond mere conversation.

“How much for one night?" one man asked.

“Just name your price."

“We'll pay whatever you ask."

Their glances at one another conveyed their intentions clearly.
