Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3336

Norah's heart ached slightly when she saw his expression. He seemed different from his usual self, and she couldn't help but ask, "You drank too much last night. Are you okay?"

Gonzalez fixed his gaze on her without blinking. After a long moment, he replied in a low voice, "I'm fine."

"You don't look well. You shouldn't drink so much from now on," Norah advised softly.

"Okay," the man replied slowly.

"It's time. I should get to work." Norah stepped toward the elevator, brushing past him.

When the elevator arrived, she stepped inside. Remembering the way he had just looked at her, a sudden wave of panic washed over her. Without thinking, she frantically pressed the open button and dashed back out.

But the hallway was already empty. The man was gone.

Norah stood there, feeling ridiculous. What was she even going to say to him?

She needed to sort out her own mess first, instead of dragging him into it.

Gonzalez didn't head into the office until the afternoon. He ordered the legal department to withdraw the lawsuit against Trevor Cromwell.

Spencer Manning couldn't understand the decision. There was no need to show any mercy to a man like Trevor, and crushing him would serve as the perfect warning to Oliver Hanson's inner circle.

Gonzalez offered no explanation, simply stating that he had his own plans.

That evening, he returned to The Eden Apartments as usual. He walked down the hall and went straight to Norah's place.

The keypad code hadn't been changed. He opened the door and stepped inside. The apartment looked exactly the same. Norah hadn't taken anything with her, yet the entire place felt suffocatingly empty.

He sat on the sofa where she always used to binge-watch her shows. He sat there for a long time, from dusk until absolute darkness swallowed the room, before finally getting up to leave.

Another colleague lowered her voice. "Isn't Norah super close with Mr. Chambers? Why is she suddenly involved with the Hanson CEO?"

Gillian leaned in closer. "I heard from Jenny Jordan that Norah and Mr. Chambers were together for years without going public because the Chambers family thought she was beneath them. So, she used her work connections to hook the Hanson CEO instead."

Furious, Evie stormed into the room and threw a glass of water right in Gillian's face. "Get Jenny in here right now! Let's confront her and see who actually started this bullshit!"

Gillian turned pale with fright and scurried away with her tail between her legs.

The rest of the staff quickly found excuses to flee the breakroom.

Norah, however, acted as if she hadn't heard a single whisper. She went about her daily work with completely unbothered composure.

Jenny Jordan was practically glowing with smugness these days. She stuck to Gillian like glue, making sure they caught every nasty joke circulating about Norah.
