Nora Hart hitched a ride with Rylan Selwyn when she returned to the studio in the afternoon.
"Did you see the trending searches?"
"No, I didn't. Still, Mr. Selwyn is incredibly resourceful."
Nora buttered him up. "So amazing. Can you protect me in the future?"
"Do you still need my protection? Wasn't it you who protected me last night?"
"That's different," Nora scoffed and continued, "I protect you, but only in these small places. Mr. Selwyn is on another level."
"Considering I avenged you immediately last night, shouldn't you reconsider my proposal?"
Rylan looked at Nora, whose delicate face was bare of makeup. In the close distance, the sunlight streamed through the glass window, making every tiny hair on her face starkly visible.
With fluttering eyelashes, her eyes seemed to speak.
Like a fox, like a search engine.
Seeing Rylan silent, Nora edged a bit closer and raised her voice slightly, "Hmm?"
