Chapter 141 Female Secretary

Norah was busy tending to her patients. After her conversation with Jolie, she made her way through the hospital with her trusty notebook in hand.

Norah knew her patients' conditions by heart. Her rounds were essential for timing surgeries perfectly. As she completed her visit to the first ward, she encountered Jolie, who awkwardly stood in the hallway, clutching the notebook.

"Dr. Wilson, fancy seeing you here, checking on this ward?" Jolie ventured.

Norah responded with a hint of sarcasm, "Perhaps you should reconsider your words."

Jolie inwardly cringed, realizing her blunder. This ward was exclusively Norah's domain. What was she thinking? "Apologies, Dr. Wilson. I misspoke. I meant it's unexpected to run into you here."

"Not really," Norah remarked dryly, brushing past Jolie. "The patients of the Cardiac Surgery Department are all here."

Jolie's cheeks flamed with embarrassment. Norah's blunt remark about her mistake left her mortified. It seemed Norah was unfazed by their awkward conversation, moving on to her next task without a second thought. Jolie watched Norah leave, marveling at Norah's thick skin and ability to navigate her professional landscape with such ease. It was no surprise Norah had made connections. Yet, to Jolie, Norah's display of confidence seemed unnecessary.

After all, the coveted role of attending physician had already been secured by Baylor. In Jolie's eyes, Norah was just putting on a show.

Norah drove Susanna back to Sean's place. Susanna entered the house to find Sean freshening up for the day.

Holding two fluffy pillows, Susanna beamed at Sean. "Look what Norah made for us. She didn't forget you."

Sean, drying his face, turned to see Susanna approaching, pillows in arms, her excitement

palpable. I had the best sleep last night thanks to this pillow. It's a game-changer. Susanna sounded like she was endorsing the pillows, hoping Sean would appreciate Norah's thoughtful yet simple gift.

"I'm putting one in your room. Make sure to try it tonight, Susanna declared, tossing a buckwheat pillow onto Sean's bed, disrupting the tidy covers. She then made her way downstairs with her own pillow in tow.

Sean was already bustling about in the kitchen when he offered breakfast to Susanna. "Would you like some?"

"No. Norah had whipped up something for me before she headed out for work. You're right. Her cooking is top-notch. Even the simplest dishes taste amazing, Susanna responded, appreciating Norah's culinary skills.

As Sean expertly flipped an egg, his smile broadened. "Yeah, Norah really knows her way around the kitchen."

Susanna, curiosity piqued, inquired, "It's unusual for you to be up and about so early. What

plans do you have today?"

Sean, busy with the eggs, shared, "I'm due to visit Nexa Tech. and then I have a business event to attend on the outskirts of Glophia."

"A business event on the outskirts of Glophia? And why must you attend in person?" Susanna's confusion was evident.

Sean, with a casual wave of his hand, dismissed her curiosity. "Business matters can be complex. I recall you mentioned something about the Grace Cup. A fashion design competition, right? Fashion design hasn't been your interest, so why the sudden decision to compete?"

Susanna, making herself comfortable on the sofa, shrugged. "It's merely for amusement. With

both, you and Norah busy, I find myself alone and in need of a distraction."

She continued, "Lately, I've grown fond of Noelle's designs. Knowing she's judging the Grace Cup, I signed up on a whim."

"Then make the most of it," Sean encouraged, his attention still on the breakfast.

Susanna sighed. "I know little about fashion design. My plan is to read up a bit and then dive

in. I'm not after fame. I just wish to meet Noelle."

Susanna's fleeting hobbies were well-known, her ventures supported by the financial backing of her family.

"Til accompany you to the company later, Susanna declared, heading upstairs to apply her makeup, leaving Sean to his thoughts and the eggs sizzling in the pan. He pondered when he might savor a meal prepared by Norah.

Susanna had always wanted to visit Nexa Tech. She had explored every company under his guidance but had yet to step foot in Nexa Tech.

Upon their arrival, Susanna observed the company's facade. "It appears just like any other tech

firm. Why would my brother invest in such a modest venture? It seems a lot of effort for

minimal gain."

Phillip briefed Sean on the company's status. "The intricate details are outlined in the

documents made by Amabel. Mr. Scott, please review them at your leisure.”

Sean, maintaining his cool exterior away from home, simply nodded. His aloof presence left an impression, making him seem distant yet undeniably captivating.

The receptionists couldn't help but be charmed by the handsome and affluent Sean, wondering who would eventually win his heart.

Noticing Susanna accompanying Sean, the receptionists speculated about her relationship with Sean. Given Susanna's youth, she seemed an unlikely match for Sean's affection. They recalled the woman who had been caught in the rain with Sean before, considering her a more probable match.

Phillip and Susanna made their way straight to Sean's office, where Susanna spotted a competent woman briefing Sean. She turned to Phillip, puzzled. "Who is that? When did Sean hire a female secretary?"

Susanna's brow furrowed, betraying a hint of displeasure. It wasn't that she had anything against female secretaries. It was just that she preferred not seeing any women close to Sean except for Norah. Since Sean had special feelings for Norah, Susanna supposed Sean's maintaining a distance from others of the opposite sex was prudent. And with Phillip already serving as the personal assistant, the need for a female secretary for Sean puzzled her.

As Susanna settled onto the sofa, Phillip leaned in to whisper, "That's Amabel Morris, Sean's new secretary. The company brought her on board."

That name struck a chord with Susanna. She had been upset with Sean over the one-to-one meet-up between Sean and Amabel just days ago. It seemed Norah was upset because of that. Why was Amabel working as Sean's secretary?

Susanna's grip on Phillip's tie drew him closer as she whispered with a chill in her voice, "Who decided to hire her?"

Phillip, his cheeks flushing at the proximity, quickly regained his composure, ignoring the sweet scent wafting from Susanna. He whispered back, "Amabel applied with her resume. Her outstanding credentials made the HR team decide to bring her on board."

Susanna couldn't hide her annoyance. "And what does Sean think about this? He assured me they were just friends and hadn't even shared a meal at all. There was supposed to be no continuation!"

Seeing Amabel in the role of Sean's secretary at Nexa Tech made Susanna's head spin. This was not how things were supposed to unfold.
