The women's restroom was lined with individual stalls. The student walked down the row, calling out softly, "Norah Lamont? Is there a Norah Lamont in here?"
Norah, who was currently washing her hands at the sink, turned around in surprise. "That's me."
The student let out a relieved laugh. "Your boyfriend is outside looking for you. He seemed really worried."
*Boyfriend?*
Norah's eyes widened momentarily before the image of Gonzalez popped into her head. She smiled and nodded. "Thank you!"
She quickly dried her hands and walked out. Seeing Gonzalez standing anxiously in the hallway, she flashed an apologetic smile. "Sorry! When I walked past the salon room, I saw an old upperclassman of mine giving a lecture. We ended up chatting for a bit. I made you wait!"
Gonzalez's tense shoulders relaxed, and a faint smile touched his lips. "As long as you're okay."
As they walked back to their table together, Norah started giggling. "The girl who came looking for me thought you were my boyfriend. I practically died laughing! You're so much older than me. You're an uncle, how could you be my boyfriend?"
She kept laughing as they walked, completely oblivious to the fact that the man beside her now had an expression darker than storm clouds.

Back at their seats, Gonzalez's face remained terrifyingly grim. He picked up his book, his voice dangerously casual. "So, what kind of boyfriend are you looking for? Someone your own age?"
Norah flipped open her textbook and shot back, "How do you know I don't already have one?"
Gonzalez's head snapped up. "You have a boyfriend?"
*Did she agree to date Adrian Chambers?!*
Norah looked up, her eyes crinkling into a bright smile. "Nope!"
Gonzalez stared at her in silence.
His breathing hitched heavily. He seriously wanted to yank her across the table and turn her over his knee.
Norah tapped her book. "Alright, back to the lesson."

The readers' comments on the novel: Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
I'm so glad that Gonzalez was able to get Luke, Oliver and all others who wanted to challenge himas the CEO straight. Interesting how Xavier made reference to a girlfriend concerning his gift to Norah, but never did this before her accident. I'm grateful for the updates. Thank you...
I had a lot of catching up to do..oh buoy, what twist and turns. Loved every bit of it, thank you for keep updating the novel. Hoping for more love along the way....
May we please have updates. Thank you...
Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
