Chapter 783 Friend Request

Nora brushed past Sean and headed for the balcony. "I'll thank you another time. I'm in a rush," she stated briskly.

Sean trailed her to the balcony and watched as she leaped agilely across to the neighboring balcony, like a cat. Opening the French window, she hurried into the room without a glance back at him.

"So ungrateful," Sean muttered under his breath.

Seeing her safely inside, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Norah was capable, but her daring balcony jump from the 18th floor surprised him. Clearly, he didn't know enough about her

Returning to his desk, Sean dialed T's number.

"Any luck uncovering who's behind Norah's rescue? What did you find?" Sean inquired urgently.

T's voice came through the line. "They're elusive. I traced her to an address in Silverdale. The villa's owner has left the country"

Sean pondered. Norah lived in a Silverdale villa whose owner was now abroad. Who had rescued her?

"I've sent you the address. That's all I could dig up." T added.

What on earth had transpired in Silverdale?

Meanwhile, Nora entered her room, relieved to find Amy hadn't barged in unexpectedly. She owed Sean for covering her tracks tonight

That room guest was kind. She'd enjoyed their time together.

Peeling off her clothes, she headed for a quick shower with her pajamas in hand

Later, a message from Amy urged her to get some rest.

Amy always looked out for her.

Lying on her bed with damp hair, Nora's phone buzzed

"Hello?" she answered.

"How did the competition go today? I saw Amy's video. You were great," a deep, tender voice greeted her warmly.

Twirling a strand of hair, Nora smiled. "It went well. Thanks for the praise.

"When are you coming back?" The concern in his voice was palpable.

"So eager for me to return. Worried I won't make it to the finals?" Nora teased back. The familiarity brought a brief silence from him.

"Alright, just listen to Amy. It's dangerous out there. Don't trust anyone too easily, okay?" the man cautioned gently

Nora listened patiently.

She knew he was just worried. She missed him a bit since leaving home days ago

"I know. You should rest too. I'll be back soon."

Nora reluctantly hung up, her phone warm from the call. Right now, she really wished she could be with him.

Drying her hair with a blow dryer, she idly checked her phone. Bored, a friend request notification popped up on Facebook.

Seeing the name of the requester, her eyes widened

"Sean Scott?"

The fan from tonight? How did he find her account? This was linked to her personal number. It was her private account!

Only a few trusted friends were added here. How did he get her number?

Puzzled, she turned off the dryer and tapped "accept"

As a celebrity, it wasn't ideal to connect with fans privately, but she couldn't help her curiosity about how he'd obtained her private number.
