Norah got up and walked over, intending to just grab the crepe roll and leave. But to her surprise, Adrian turned directly to Jenny, who was standing beside him, and said, "Excuse me, could you move?"
Jenny awkwardly took a step back.
Adrian grabbed Norah's left wrist, pulling her to stand right next to him as he handed her the Taro Paste Crepe Roll. "Stop running around and eat first. I got this just for you."
Without even turning around, Norah could tell Jenny's expression had soured. She could feel the icy, glaring daggers aimed at the back of her head.
Taking a bite of the sweet roll, Norah lowered her voice. "Are you unhappy with my work performance today?"
Adrian looked confused. "No, why?"
"Then why are you trying to get me killed?" Norah muttered. "Jenny finally managed to stand next to you for a second, and you dragged me right back. If looks could kill, I'd be dead on the floor."
Adrian shot a sideways glance at Jenny and scoffed. "Since when do I need to care about someone else's feelings when I want to treat you well? Besides, you know damn well I don't like her. Stop trying to set us up. I pulled you back here to keep her away from me. You're a smart girl, how did you not catch onto that?"
Hearing Adrian's words, Norah was suddenly reminded of Gonzalez.
Gonzalez had said something incredibly similar to her before.
She let out a long sigh. "So I'm the one who has to play the villain!"
Adrian laughed. "I'll make it up to you. You pick where we eat tonight."
Norah shrugged. "Anything is fine. Ask the others."
"No need," Adrian said smoothly. "I already know what you like."
Norah took a large bite of her sweet taro roll and steered the conversation back to work.

Thank you so much for the updates today. Now that Yvonne knows that Gonzalez has established who's really in charge of the Hansen house hold she and her mother are treading carefully. It will be interesting to see how Jenny will get the information to see if Adrian is paying for Norah....

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....

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...
