Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 834

Xavier frowned, thinking he was dealing with a customer causing trouble, but turned out it was some relationship problems with this young girl. Not his place to say anything then.

“I didn't expect him to show up here, I already told him loud and clear, I won't let him create chaos and affect the business!”

“Don’t sweat about it!” Xavier flicked his ash, “Since you’ve broken up, his pestering is just him being a pain in the ass. If he ever shows up again, tell me, or Damian if I'm not around. No need to be scared!”

“I'm not scared of him!” Norah mumbled.

Xavier chuckled, “Anything else? Get back to work.”

“Alright, I'll get back to work!” Norah stood up.

“Good.”

As Norah walked out, she suddenly turned back and said, “You should cut down on smoking, it's not good for you!”

Xavier paused, then casually responded, “It's a habit, no biggie!”

Without another word, Norah turned and got busy in the lobby.

Once Xavier finished his cigarette and returned to the lobby, he saw Norah taking orders from new customers.

After a moment of thought, he pulled Damian aside, “Keep an eye on the lobby for the next few days, especially on Norah. If her so-called boyfriend shows up, no need for niceties, just kick him out!”

“Roger that!” Damian grinned, “Don't worry boss, we consider Norah as one of us. We won't let her get hurt!”

After a few more instructions, Xavier sent Damian back to his work.

Not only was Norah part of the Lamont family, but she was also Estelle's friend. And since Estelle was currently dating Jonathan, the relationship was even more intricate. To Estelle, Xavier was almost like a brother to Norah. So, both personally and professionally, he couldn't afford any mishaps happened to Norah in his restaurant. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face Estelle.

......

“What do you want?” Norah demanded angrily.

“As long as you don't shout or struggle, we won't hurt you!”

“Why waste time talking to her!” One of the masked men next to Nicolas suddenly grabbed Norah.

Norah backed away in panic, shouting loudly, “Help, help!”

Before she could finish, she felt a sudden pain in her neck and fell down.

The man who had been scalded by the food threw away his brick, pulled out a sack, and threw it over Norah, sneering, “She's a tough one, hit me hard, and nearly burnt me to death!”

Norah didn't pass out completely, but the intense pain in her neck made her head spin and weakened her body.
