Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 524: Not Giving Her a Chance

Unfortunately, the other party gave Nora no chance to dodge.

Elaine and Vincent appeared in front of her, as if pouring cold water over her head.

"Nora, I heard your flight back home is today. My mentor and I happened to be nearby, so we thought we’d pick you up and head to the city together, just to sit down and discuss some things."

Lily, realizing they had serious matters to discuss, tactfully said, "My family is here to pick me up, I’ll take your luggage back to the company."

Thus, the two parted ways.

Lily was left alone, dragging two suitcases, weaving through the airport.

Finnian had already left, and she started regretting not piggybacking on a ride earlier in an attempt to be capable.

Now, she could only hail a cab by the roadside alone.

Suddenly, a car braked right in front of her feet, "Miss Sloan, get in the car." It was the driver from the Lawrence Family.

The driver kindly helped her load the suitcases into the trunk. After getting in, she sat next to Finnian in the back.

"Why didn’t you call me earlier?"

Lily was surprised that Finnian would ask her that.

She considered for a moment and then said, "I didn’t want to trouble you." She even used a formal address.

"Already troubled me."

Finnian was referring to the previous incident.

This time, Lily’s face turned redder, "I’ll pay you the fare." After saying that, she wished she could bite her tongue off.

Lily, what on earth are you thinking!

She wanted to dig a hole and hide, the grand and prosperous Finnian would hardly care about a few dozen bucks for a shared fare.

As expected, Finnian didn’t respond to her suggestion.

"Manager Sloan, I’m only a little older than you. Using such formal terms, people who don’t know might think I’m much older."

"Sorry."

Lily looked up again, their eyes met in the air, she found a hint of intrigue in Finnian’s gaze.

She belatedly realized that he was joking with her!

She no longer spoke, a touch of defiance in her demeanor, though she felt her anger was strange—what right did she have to be upset with the Lawrence Family’s young master?

The car returned to silence.

In fact, Finnian wanted to ask if she’d like to have a meal together, but seeing the young lady’s cheeks puffed up, he swallowed his words.

...

Nora, taken away, remained tense, as if being roasted over a fire.

Vincent took the two to a restaurant, where the manager had heard in advance that the Morgan Family’s young gentleman would be coming, and waited early at the door with a few waiters, making quite a grand scene.

In the night, the restaurant was brightly lit, like daylight, from afar it looked like a giant ice cube, crystal clear.

The restaurant manager greeted his awaited guests, instantly beaming with a smile, wrinkles piling up at the corners of his eyes.

This grand display caused quite a stir and drew the attention of those around, dozens of eyes focused on that spot.

Jasper Sinclair was one of those "dozens". Seeing Nora taking tiny steps following Vincent, he almost couldn’t resist rushing up to pull her away.

Louis Hayes also noticed, shifting slightly to the side, ready to block his Boss from leaving.

"Director Sinclair, this way please."

The collaborator’s words brought Jasper back to focus, today’s project was linked to the stock market for the latter half of the year, he couldn’t be careless.

Looking over again, Nora was nowhere to be seen, as if she had never been there.

Just like this marriage, abruptly ending.
