Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 63

"Are you okay, Jade?" Chloe Caldwell asked with concern. "Is the AC too cold?"

"I'm fine." Nora shook her head, her eyes dropping to her phone screen.

Hudson's message sat quietly in their chat window.

[Wait for me after work. We'll go home together.]

She stared at the text for a few seconds, still reeling from the surrealness of it all.

She had just started her job at Star, and he bought the company right after.

It was too much of a coincidence.

A ridiculous thought crossed her mind—could he have done it for her?

But as soon as the thought surfaced, she crushed it.

How was that possible?

Who was Hudson Lancaster?

The Lancaster family's business empire spanned microchips, defense, and high-tech industries, each worth billions of dollars.

To him, Star Entertainment was probably less than pocket change.

Acquiring Star was most likely a strategic business move.

She needed to stop flattering herself...

Nora refocused, flipping open Leo's file to continue reading.

The office door was pushed open at that exact moment.

Serena Sinclair walked in with two interns trailing behind her like an entourage. One was holding her coffee, the other carrying her files. She made quite the entrance.

"Did you all hear?"

She sat down, crossing her legs. Her voice was just loud enough for the entire office to hear. "The new boss is Mr. Lancaster."

Every ear in the room perked up.

"Lancaster? Which Lancaster?"

"Which other Lancaster is there in San Francisco?" Serena rolled her eyes, a hint of a boast in her tone. "Hudson Lancaster. My family actually has some ties with his. My dad has had dinner with him a few times."

As she said this, she tilted her chin up slightly, her gaze sweeping toward Nora's desk.

But Nora kept her head down, continuing to flip through her documents.
