Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 625

As she always said, a good woman doesn't stay single for long.

An opportunity like this won't come again.

So Mrs. Naylor was in a hurry.

Fearing her hints weren't obvious enough, she decided to be direct with Noreen.

"Noreen, you've been single for a while now. If you're open to it, would you consider our Healy?"

"I'm so fond of you. I've always dreamed of having a daughter as brilliant as you, which is why I'd love for you to be part of our family. I hope you'll think about it."

Noreen truly had no romantic feelings for Healy.

So she politely declined. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Naylor, but I don't see Healy that way."

"Don't be so quick to refuse! You can just keep him on your radar for now. It's normal for a woman to have a few options, to choose the best one."

"Of course, Healy used to be a bit of a player, I know he didn't leave the best impression. But he never cheated. He always ended one relationship before starting another."

"And don't you worry, if you just give the word, leave the rest to me! I'll make sure he never does anything to wrong you! The moment you two get married, I'll transfer all my assets to your name. That'll keep him from having any funny ideas!"

Seeing Mrs. Naylor getting carried away, Noreen had to interrupt. "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Naylor, but I'm still at a dinner with my employees. Could we talk about this another time?"

"Yes, of course, of course," Mrs. Naylor agreed cheerfully.

As long as Noreen hadn't given her a hard no, she felt there was still a chance.

After hanging up, Noreen breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Naylor's enthusiasm was often a bit overwhelming.

No sooner had she dealt with Mrs. Naylor than a message from Healy came through on WhatsApp.

He asked when she would be back in Rivercrest City, wanting to discuss further collaboration.

It was the only excuse Healy could use.

Whenever he tried to bring up anything else, Noreen would never reply.

But if it was about work, she would always respond.

Noreen frowned, staring at her phone for a few seconds before typing back, "Back in Rivercrest City in a week. We can schedule something then."
