Chapter 313
“I have something to talk to Carson, so I’ll give you your gift tonight!” Charlie grinned, “Go have fun first.”
“Alright!” Nora gave Charlie a flirtatious glance, stood up straight, and swept her eyes towards Noreen, visibly smug.
Charlie and Carson went to the cafeteria to talk, while Nora returned to Lindsey and the others in high spirits, her voice raised much louder than before.
Noreen’s head drooped as her face paled, her nails digging into the couch out of frustration and reluctance. Andrew’s girlfriend spoke softly, “It looks like Mr. James is really into Nora. Why worry about it?”
Charlie entered the room, paying no attention to Noreen, indicating that he no longer had any feelings for her.
“No, that can’t be true!” Noreen wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. “Charlie still loves me. He’s just doing this to intentionally hurt me.”
Initially sympathetic towards Noreen, Andrew’s girlfriend now thought she was just being paranoid.
Meanwhile, Lindsey and the others deliberately talked loudly about how much Mr. James liked Nora, causing Noreen’s tears to fall.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Noreen got up to open it, only to freeze at the sight of the person outside. “What are you here for?”
“Delivery!”
Emily, carrying a large delivery box, replied and walked straight in.
Noreen’s eyes darted around, feigning ignorance as she deliberately avoided acknowledging Emily’s presence. She settled back onto the couch.
Meanwhile, Emily positioned herself in the center of the living room and inquired politely, “Who placed the delivery order?”
Lindsey waved from the balcony, calling out, “It was me! Bring it over here!”
Emily approached and carefully arranged the desserts and drinks that Lindsey had ordered, placing them neatly on the table.
The girl sitting next to Lindsey glanced at Emily in surprise and whispered in Lindsey’s ear, “I think the delivery girl is Noreen’s cousin.”
Nora overheard and turned to ask, “How do you
know?”
The girl replied, “When Noreen was hospitalized for her injury, I went to visit her with others. We saw her taking care of Noreen in the ward, and it seemed like she called Noreen her cousin.”
“Really?” Nora’s eyes twinkled, and she chuckled, “Interesting!”
She walked over to the couch and asked Emily, “I ordered a black tea, which one is mine?”
Emily found it and placed it in front of her, “Here’s your tea.”

Nina picked it up and shook a frowning 3 specifically asked for iced tea, didn’t you see?
Emily was taken aback and quickly pulled her phone out to check the order. There was no iced tea menticewid. She looked up and said. “Nothing here”
“Nothing” Nors asked and turned to Lindsey “Did you not add a note?”
Lindsey responded. I specifically mentioned it when placing the order. Besides, we’ve ordered from this dessert shop many times before, so they should be familiar with your preferences. Even without a note they should know that you want iced one”
Emily double-checked the order and indeed found no note indicating the customization Without arguing, she simply smiled and said, “I apologize for the oversight. I’ll return to the shop and get a new one for you.”
Nora, lounging on the couch, lazily glanced at her manicure and remarked, I’ve been waiting to enjoy it, but it’ll take you an hour to come back. I can’t wait any longer!”
Emily said, “Then, please accept a refund for this tea
Nora sneered, “I don’t need the money”
Emily continued to be polite. 1 apologize, if you can think of a solution, I’ll definitely cooperate!”
