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

Chapter 565: Encounter at the Karaoke Bar

In the end, Nora declined Elaine’s offer. Their relationship hadn’t been made public yet, and she didn’t want to be ostentatious to avoid gossip.

The final shoot for VK and President Lewis’s collaboration ended two days before the end of September.

Next would be this year’s last long holiday, with the Mid-Autumn Festival coinciding with National Day, which made the office workers who usually worked until midnight cheer with joy.

Nora suggested that everyone should go out for a gathering, and as the boss, she couldn’t let the employees pay.

A new bug appeared.

With almost a thousand people in VK, she couldn’t manage the situation. After discussions, it was decided that a portion of the budget would be allocated to each department, managed by each department supervisor or project team leader.

In this way, things became simplified.

VK’s most important core members didn’t leave Nora out. Everyone enthusiastically finished their meal and planned to move to the next venue: a karaoke bar.

Nora didn’t like overly lively atmospheres, but she couldn’t resist everyone’s enthusiasm.

Unwilling to be a killjoy, she had no choice but to comply.

KTV private room.

Someone went out without closing the door properly, leaving a long gap, followed by the appearance of someone who didn’t belong there.

"Nora, look who’s here!"

Following Lily’s gaze, Nora saw Jasper Sinclair blocking the door.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, the man’s eyes, cold as mist, narrowed halfway, fixing on Nora and the man beside her.

Reflexively, Nora loosened her grip on the wine glass, her body as straight as a child caught doing something wrong.

Jasper approached her unhurriedly, "Company gathering?"

The man beside her shifted to the side, kindly leaving a space for him to sit.

He sat down, mismatched with the flashing neon lights.

The words Nora had been forming on her lips dissipated with his question, and she replied, "Yes."

"When will you take me off the blacklist?"

"I forgot."

"Then do it now."

Nora stayed still, the two of them at an impasse, with the noise and music turning into mere background noise.

The song ended.

Jasper broke the stalemate first, "WeChat and phone, at least leave a way I can contact you."

"The reason?"

"I’ll miss you, I’ll worry about you."

In the end, Nora couldn’t resist him and removed his WeChat account from the blacklist.

It was already late, and someone suggested dispersing.

For Jasper, this was a rare opportunity to thank her colleague.

"It’s hard to get a car on this stretch, and you’ve been drinking, I’ll take you back."

"I’ll go with a colleague, it’s on the way, don’t trouble yourself."

Nora politely yet distantly refused. Their relationship seemed to have returned to the night before they were trapped in the guesthouse.

Jasper couldn’t understand where things went wrong and refused to back down.

"I’ll take you."

At this moment, in another room, Louis Hayes took it all upon himself alone...

Nora followed Jasper, turning several corners, passing through long corridors, and finally taking a crowded elevator, before stopping in front of a glass door.

A Mercedes van was parked by the roadside. She recognized it at a glance; it was the Sinclair family’s license plate.

"It’s cold outside, why don’t you take care of yourself at all?" Jasper looked at her thin clothing and couldn’t help but sigh.

Then, he took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders, not forgetting to snug it up.

The unique scent of male hormones filled her nostrils, a long-lost fragrance.
