The sports car was parked right on the lawn. Norah's classmates were completely starstruck, even climbing into the driver's seat to get a feel for the hyper-luxurious interior.
Sara sat behind the wheel, running her hands over the leather, completely in awe. "Norah is so lucky. Born into the Lamont family, and even the guy she's dating is crazy rich!"
She was pampered by everyone around her—she was basically a real-life princess!
Khloe glanced in the rearview mirror, watching Adrian chat with Norah in the distance. "Didn't Norah say last time that Adrian isn't her boyfriend? He's just a friend and her boss."
Sara laughed. "Not right now, maybe, but he definitely will be!"
Khloe sighed softly. "You're probably right. It's so obvious Adrian is head over heels for her."
Sara turned, teasing her friend. "Why are you sighing? Don't tell me you've got a crush on Adrian too."
Khloe looked a little flustered but admitted it honestly. "He's gorgeous, wealthy, and more importantly, he's so gentle and attentive. Who wouldn't like him? Are you saying you don't?"
Sara thought back to the tall, striking figure she'd seen in the bookstore that day and raised an eyebrow. "Nope. I already have someone I like!"
"Who?" Khloe demanded, her curiosity instantly piqued.
"Nothing's happened yet, so it's a secret!" Sara flashed a mysterious smile.
The two girls hopped out of the car and walked over to Norah. "Norah, this car is absolutely sick!"
Norah looked up at Adrian. "I already have plenty of cars. Why did you buy me another one? I thought we agreed you were just going to give me extra vacation days!"
Adrian laughed, his handsome face bright. "Don't worry, you get both!"
"Oh my god, that's so romantic!" Sara grinned at Norah. "If I were you, I'd be crying from happiness!"
"She won't cry over a car," Adrian said smoothly. "Ever since she got her license, Jonathan buys her a new car every year, custom models included. She's completely unfazed."
Over by the garden swings, Kya was happily swinging back and forth, while Charlie James and Jonathan Lamont sat on a nearby bench chatting.
"Is Julian Lucas still locked up?" Charlie asked, scoffing. "The Lucas family is pulling every string they have to bail their son out. Turns out, my mom has a distant cousin whose daughter married into the Lucas family. They tried to use that convoluted connection to ask me for a favor. I didn't give them the time of day."
Jonathan's expression was icy. "It doesn't matter who they beg. That kid is never seeing the outside of a cell again."
"Good, because he's a menace," Charlie sneered. "Two years ago, Julian killed someone while street racing. They paid someone to take the fall and faked evidence claiming the victim was drunk. By the time it went through the courts, the victim's family ended up losing the case!"
"This time, he was racing because of a bet," Jonathan said coldly. "A million dollars to whoever reached the West Garden intersection in under five minutes. That's why he drove straight through a pedestrian zone."
Arrogance always catches up with you eventually; it was only a matter of time.
Remembering something, Charlie warned him, "Mrs. Lucas apparently knows Mrs. Hanson. She's definitely not going to give up on her son. There's a chance she might try to get the Hansons to intercede."
Jonathan's eyes narrowed dangerously, his voice dropping to a lethal chill. "Then she must not realize that my accounts with the Hanson family are far from settled."

May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
