Chapter 173 Make it Up
Norah stepped back and replied, "It's just a coincidence."
"A coincidence?" James sneered. "Do you think I'll believe that?"
"You deliberately ran into me at the cafe, deliberately fell down when I walked in, and even stared at me while I was drinking. Do you think these are just coincidences?"
"Do you think I'm stupid or something?"
Norah was stunned by his accusations.
Those were all coincidences, but after his interpretation, they became something else entirely.
"Dean Broser, you really misunderstand. I never intended to catch your attention." Norah insisted on explaining.
"I don't believe you," James said coldly, his sharp eyes fixed on her.
Norah waved her hand and said casually, "Fine, since you don't believe me, I won't say anything else."
Continuing the conversation would only make things worse.
When James wasn't paying attention, Norah lowered her head and deftly slipped out from under his arm.
She left decisively without even looking back.
James watched her leave and sneered. "What a clever cat and mouse game."
Unfortunately, he wasn't falling for it.
Norah left James and walked into the private room. The first time she came in, she remembered that it was the private room on the left, so she pushed open the one on the left this time.
However, when she opened the door and saw the people inside, Norah was immediately stunned.
She had gone into the wrong room!
This private room was not the one she was supposed to be dining in. There were many people inside, and it was noisy with people singing, playing games, and talking. In short, it was extremely lively.
Although the light in the private room was dim and there were many people, Norah saw Shawn at a glance.
He was lazily leaning on the sofa, his legs lightly crossed. Although he appeared very casual, his noble and elegant aura could not be concealed no matter what.
Norah looked at his position. He was in the middle of the room.
Without even thinking, she knew he the focus of attention, being respected and admired by everyone.
When someone broke in, especially a beautiful and gentle-looking strange girl, the entire private room fell silent.
At that moment, almost everyone in the room looked at Norah.
Norah raised her head and immediately saw Shawn.
However, his gaze was too cold and calm, like a still pond with no ripples.
He was very composed.
Almost cruelly composed.
Norah lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes like a fan, concealing the disappointment and sadness in her eyes in an instant.
Since he pretended not to know her and treated her as a stranger, why should she speak up?
It didn't matter.
They were already divorced. In strict terms, they were indeed strangers.
Therefore, he did the right thing, and she had no reason to be upset.
However, she did not expect him to be so calm.
"Sorry, I went into the wrong room."
After speaking, Norah immediately turned around to leave.
At that moment, a voice came from behind her. "Doll, our private room has strict rules. You can't just come in and out as you please."
After that, a man wearing a blue shirt got up from the sofa. He had a handsome face, but his words were full of danger.
"I didn't mean to barge in. I just accidentally walked into the wrong room. My private room is right across from yours," Norah explained.
However, the man didn't listen to her explanation.
He took a step forward, and his tall figure stopped in front of Norah. He opened his thin lips and said, "Doll, I don't care about that. I'm not interested in the process. I only care about the result."
