Yvonne's mother, Hannah, exclaimed in surprise, "Norah's actually working part-time at a barbecue restaurant? What's this, our little princess going off to experience the common folk's hardships?"
Norah offered a cool, almost amused smile, "I don't find it tough at all. I just, you know, really enjoy barbecue."
Everyone thought Norah was just joking, which made her seem even more endearing, like a child. After a few laughs, the conversation drifted to other topics.
Norah let out a soft sigh, and just as she looked up, she caught Xavier's gaze on her. Her heart skipped a beat, leaving her momentarily frozen as their eyes locked.
Xavier quickly looked away, continuing with his meal.
As the night wore on and drinks flowed, Xavier stood up and left the table. Without a doubt, Norah knew he was stepping out for a smoke.
She tried to resist the urge but ultimately couldn't help herself and found an excuse to leave as well.
The venue was surrounded by picturesque waterways, twisting and winding around. Norah searched for Xavier but couldn't find him. Just as she was about to head back, she heard a warm voice from behind, "Norah."
Turning around, her expression cooled, "You needed something?"
Yvonne offered a smile, "You came out looking for Gonzalez, didn't you?"
Norah frowned, "Who said that? I just had a bit too much to drink and felt a bit dizzy, needed some fresh air."
Yvonne's smile turned sly, not pressing further on Xavier. Instead, she casually asked, "How's Jonathan? Why didn't he come with you?"
Norah replied, "Still hung up on my Jonathan, huh? You should be glad he didn't come. He made you leave J City; he'd be furious to see you back!"
Yvonne's smile faded somewhat, a shadow flickering in her eyes, "Can't I come back for the holidays?"
"That's something you should ask my Jonathan!" retorted Norah, visibly annoyed.
Yvonne's self-mockery was evident, "Like I'd dare. He'd rather see me dead!"
Norah turned away, uninterested in delving further into the topic.
