While chatting and laughing with Adrian, Norah caught a glimpse of Gonzalez nursing a drink in silence. Biting her lower lip, she grabbed a plate of freshly grilled steak and walked over. "You haven't eaten much tonight. Have some meat."
"Thanks," Gonzalez said, taking the plate.
Norah rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Sorry. I might have been a bit harsh earlier. I know you were just looking out for me."
Gonzalez leaned forward with the plate, tilting his head to look at her. A faint smirk played on his lips. "So you admit you were wrong?"
"Not exactly!" she fired back immediately.
Seeing his expression darken, she couldn't help but laugh. "Just eat. The lobster will be ready soon. I'll bring you some."
His deep, predatory gaze locked onto her. "Sit down and rest. I can get my own food."
Norah nodded, returning to her seat to chat with Sara and the others.
Nearby, Lorelei and Whitney were purposely being loud at their grill to draw attention.
A car pulled up, and a young couple set up a tent across from Lorelei.
Lorelei rushed over to play the welcoming committee, handing out her own barbecue. Soon enough, she had buddied up with the naive pair.
Norah watched Lorelei shuttling back and forth, quickly piecing together her game plan.
"Ignore them. Let's just enjoy ourselves," Sara muttered.
Norah gave a subtle nod.
Halfway through her beer, Sara turned to Gonzalez, casually digging for gossip. "How many girlfriends have you had, Mr. Hanson?"
His slightly raspy voice blended with the evening breeze, low and rich. "None."
Norah raised an eyebrow. He had literally just told her he was fresh out of a breakup.

With Adrian last comment, he's gonna get whipped and wonder what happened. Thank you so so much for the updates....
May we please have more updates. Thank you....
I would like for Norah to secretly have her memory restored and not tell anyone just to observe how everyone is trying to keep mess going....
Janice and Adrian don't want Norah to be with Xavier....
Thank you for the updates. You do keep us in suspense....
Curious as to how, what, when and where Norah will get her memory back of Xavier....
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....
