Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 815: Someone’s Sudden Visit
Nora Northwood and Lily Sloan walked side by side, traversing the hotel corridor until they arrived at the elevator area.
Not many people went out at this time, so the elevator quickly reached their floor.
Nora’s fingertip pressed the button for the first floor, and the WeChat interface began to spin.
As the numbers showing the floors slowly descended, "Ding—"
At the instant the elevator doors opened, a pair of men’s leather shoes entered Nora’s view.
She abruptly paused, and when she looked up, she met a pair of charming eyes.
Jasper Sinclair, dressed in a tailored suit, appeared before Nora, making him look cold and reserved with the extremely fine fabric of his clothes.
"You..."
Nora stammered, unable to express a complete sentence.
"Mrs. Sinclair, what a coincidence."
Squashed in the corner, Lily looked left and right, thinking: Is this some kind of new romantic game?
The elevator doors showed signs of closing, but Jasper quickly lifted his arm to hold them back.
Then, he asked them, "How long do you plan to stand in there?"
Nora awkwardly uttered "Uh" and then pulled Lily’s arm and walked out.
She asked, "What are you doing here?"
"There happens to be a forum in Germany, and I thought I’d visit you while I’m here."
Lily winked teasingly at her friend, joking, "Is it visiting Nora, or attending the forum by chance?"
The answer was self-evident.
Once Nora realized, her mind spun quickly, "So, you didn’t message me last night because you were on the plane the whole time?"
"Turns out you were waiting for my message."
Nora’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was too late.
Oh no! How did she accidentally spill her thoughts?
At this point, Lily realized the earlier car conversation was related to this.
The atmosphere suddenly turned incredibly awkward.
With others present, Jasper refrained from teasing Nora further and instead asked formally, "Have you had breakfast?"
"We’re just about to eat."
"Let’s go together, I happen to be hungry too."
Thus, what started as a duo became a trio.
The scenery during the day differed from that at dusk, and the street decor resembled scenes from an old film.
After passing several breakfast shops, the other stores remained closed.
Occasionally, some hurried pedestrians passed by, likely office workers rushing to work.
The temperature difference between day and night in August here is rather large.
Nora gathered the scarf around her neck, a subtle gesture noticed by Jasper.
He knew she was particularly susceptible to the cold.
So, he nonchalantly took Nora’s hand, wrapped it in his palm, and tucked them both into his pocket.
Nora instinctively tried to pull away but after feeling the warmth, she let go, allowing him this gesture.
Her cheeks, hidden under blush, seemed even rosier.
"On my way here, I saw a Chinese restaurant about 200 meters ahead; would it delay your plans?"
Jasper seemed to be in high spirits, eagerly considering their needs.
"It won’t," Nora responded.
When no one was paying attention, Jasper faintly curled his lips.
In a moment, it felt like they were in the midst of a budding romance.
As dawn completely broke, the sun quietly climbed to its zenith, and the distant scent of soy milk wafted through, creating a momentary illusion of being back home.
"Click—"
Lily fell a few steps behind, capturing the two cozy silhouettes in her camera.
