Chapter 171 Norah Mistook Someone for Shawn
However, as she walked past him, she whispered, "You're not him."
"I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else."
Their height, physique, and even their white shirts and black trousers were almost identical, and they
gave off a similar feeling at that moment.
They were both cold and indifferent.
Moreover, the lighting in the private room was dim, only outlining a blurry silhouette. Norah was a bit
dizzy, so she mistook James for Shawn.
Realizing she had made a mistake, she didn't stop and turned around to walk back.
Perhaps it was because she walked too quickly, and she suddenly stumbled, her whole body falling
downwards.
"Ah..." she instinctively exclaimed.
"Norah, watch out," Dora also shouted, rushing over.
But they were quite far away from each other, so it wasn't quick enough.
Just as Norah thought she was going to fall to the ground, suddenly, a pair of strong arms hooked her
body.
Startled by this, Norah was now much sober from the alcohol.
Seeing that the person who caught her was James, she quickly withdrew from his embrace and
apologized softly with her head down, "Thank you, Dean Broser!"
James withdrew his hand and only glanced at her lightly. He was very silent from beginning to end, not
saying a word.
Dora immediately ran over to help Norah up. "How are you? Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine."
"That's good. Let's go back."
Dora immediately brought Norah back to their previous position.
At this time, Mrs. Lee walked over and exchanged pleasantries with James.
James had one hand in his pocket, and his cold eyes swept over the entire private room. For some
reason, Norah always felt like he was staring at her imperceptibly in the end.
She hoped that she was just overthinking.
"Thank you all for joining us. I'll toast everyone."
After speaking, James raised his head and finished a glass of red wine.
Several female colleagues next to him were almost mesmerized by his drinking gesture, all becoming
infatuated.
Norah was also stunned, but it was not because James's movements were cool and handsome, but
because this gesture was too similar to Shawn's in many ways.
Especially under the dim light, when she could only see a rough outline, she felt more and more that
the man in front of her was like Shawn.
They were really similar.
She was now looking at James, but all she thought about was Shawn.
She didn't come back to her senses until Dora reached out and poked her hand. "Hey, Norah, what are
you thinking about?"
Only then did Norah realize she had been staring at James.
More importantly, several colleagues had noticed and were looking in her direction.
Moreover, even James was looking her up and down.
So, she raised her head and met James's eyes unexpectedly. Norah immediately lowered her head
and felt quite embarrassed.
Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she awkwardly took a sip of wine to divert her attention.
After James greeted everyone, everyone thought that he would leave. Even Mrs. Lee thought so.
Because James had just been paying to maintain this tradition for so long, and he hadn't come for
several years.
So it was very surprising that he could come this time.
But he even drank and didn't leave immediately after that.
When James found a seat, crossed his legs, and leaned back leisurely, Mrs. Lee suddenly became
stunned and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
In the end, she only asked one question.
"Dean Broser, do you... want to sit here for a while?"
"Can't I?" James raised his gaze and asked coldly.
His indifference made Mrs. Lee shiver, and she quickly explained, "Or course, you can. Dean Broser,
you misunderstood. I know you don't like the hustle and bustle, so I'll arrange a quieter place for you."
James glanced around the room inadvertently and then looked at Norah. He said, "No need. I'll just sit
here."
"Don't mind it and enjoy yourselves." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Okay."
Mrs. Lee replied before leaving.
She felt so uneasy. With James here, how could everyone enjoy themselves?
Sure enough, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became less cheerful. It was much quieter,
and everyone became more cautious when playing.
After all, a leader was sitting in the room, so everyone was a little nervous.
Dora pulled Norah to a corner, poked her hand, and asked mysteriously, "Norah, you're not interested
in Dean Broser, are you?"
"What?"
"Do I like Dean Broser? How is that possible?" Norah couldn't believe what she heard.
"When Dean Broser was drinking just now, you kept staring at him. Not only me, but everyone also saw
it. I'm afraid everyone thinks so now."
Dora continued, "And you fell just now. Everyone probably thought you did it on purpose."
Norah rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "I really didn't. I have someone I like, and I really don't
like Dean Broser."
"That's good. I'm relieved. Although Dean Broser is very handsome, there is still too much difference
between him and us. He is a leader who has his family business and a girlfriend he loves. Whoever
falls in love with him is destined to suffer. It's good that you don't have feelings for him."
The girlfriend he loved?
Norah once suffered because of Lilian, so she was really afraid of a man's so-called ex-girlfriends.
Suddenly, her impression of James became worse.
After half an hour, when everyone found that James's attention was not on them and that he really just
wanted to sit there, they gradually relaxed.
Dora also pulled Norah to play games, and Norah didn't want to play because the loser had to drink
alcohol.
However, since everyone wanted her to play, she couldn't disappoint them, so she reluctantly agreed.
In fact, she really wasn't in the mood to play.
She kept thinking about the two women who leaned against Shawn in her mind.
D*mn it. She wanted to play by herself and have fun. She didn't want to think about him.
Norah shook her head fiercely and admonished herself.
At this moment, someone said, "Norah, it's your turn. Spin the bottle quickly."
"Oh, okay."
As a result, she lost as soon as she spun the bottle.
Then she had to drink.
Since she had promised, she couldn't break her promise, and with so many people watching, she
couldn't refuse.
So she had to grit her teeth and brace herself to drink.
However, that night, she didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't know whether it was because
of her bad mood or her bad luck.
"Norah, it's your turn."
"Norah, it's your turn again."
"Norah. drink slowly."
In the end, Norah felt that she couldn't be unluckier. She kept losing. Sometimes she even lost three
games in a row.
Maybe because the sound of playing games was too loud. James glanced over and his gaze was as
cold as ever.
When Norah turned around and covered her lips, she happened to meet James's gaze.
At that moment, she clearly saw the mockery and ridicule in his eyes.
