Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2353

"Oh, oh!" Larry nodded eagerly, his eyes fixed on Norah. "You don't look it, Ms. Norah. You're absolutely stunning!"

Norah laughed, "So, are you implying that Mr. Hanson isn't handsome?"n"Of course not!" Larry quickly replied, then asked, "Are you still in school, Norah?"

Norah answered, "I've already graduated."n"What do you do for work now?" Larry's eyes almost glued to Norah's face. "My family's business is quite diverse. Which company are you with? I might know your boss."

Xavier suddenly cut in, "Weren’t we going to play tennis? Norah, why don't you go warm up so you don't cramp up when we start playing."

Norah obediently went to warm up, responding with a soft "Oh."

Carol said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Hanson is so considerate!"

Xavier replied, "Norah’s a bit naive; as the elder, I have to look out for her."

Larry caught the double meaning in Xavier’s words and gave an awkward smile, though his eyes continued to flit back to Norah.

When Norah returned, Carol handed a tennis racket to Larry, "Brother, you and Norah will be a team, and I'll team up with Mr. Hanson. Take good care of Norah, okay?"

Larry immediately responded, "No problem!"

He then turned to Norah, full of confidence, "Tennis is my specialty. Just watch me!"

Norah didn't like the team arrangement but kept quiet. She only reminded Larry, "Do you need to change your shoes?"

Larry glanced at his shiny leather shoes and said nonchalantly, "No worries, skill matters more than shoes!"

Xavier nodded, "Then let’s start!"

The four of them split into two teams and began playing.

Henson returned with some drinks and looked towards the court, noting with a frown that Carol ended up pairing with Xavier. "My sister can be such a blockhead!" he thought.

But he quickly calmed down, sipping his cola while observing the game.
