?Chapter 271:
Upon waking up the following morning, Norah checked her phone and was confused by a notification she received. She quickly leapt out of bed and hurried from the bedroom to the living area. There, Sean, already dressed in his suit, was focused on hisptop.
“Good morning, darling,” Norah greeted him.
Looking up, Sean noticed Norah still in her sleepwear, her hair a bit disheveled, yet her eyes sparkled with excitement.
“What’s going on, honey?” Sean asked.
“Check this out!” Norah eagerly held up her phone for him to see.
Sean leaned in and noticed a bank notification. “You’ve received a deposit of ten million dors into your checking ount. Your new ount bnce is…”
“This is unexpected. Did someone mistakenly send money to my ount? Is it illegal moneyundering? Has my information beenpromised? But that’s impossible!” Norah furrowed her brow as she muttered to herself.
Being at the top of her game as a hacker meant her personal details were encrypted, keeping her ount and profile safe from leaks.
“Silly girl, I’m the one who did it.” Sean chuckled.
At Sean’s words, Norah looked up at him, feeling a bit dazed. “You sent this? But why all of a sudden?”

Sean’s expression softened, his charm evident. “Why not? I just wanted to give you some pocket money. I’ve been swamped with work and haven’t been able to spend much time with you. Consider it a small apology.”
Sean was still feeling guilty about Norah’s kidnapping the previous day. After Kelvin had sessfully retrieved 60 million dors from the Breakerst night, Sean quickly decided to send some cash to Norah as pocket money for her time in Ond. He hadn’t anticipated her overwhelming reaction.
Norah was quite well-off. When she checked the stock marketst night, she saw that all her stocks had gone up in price. She made over ten million dors in profit. She had dedicated time to learning and investing in the stock market, so her financial sess wasn’t just a stroke of luck.
Norahpressed her lips together. “As I’ve mentioned before, you don’t need to give me money.” Thinking about the array of jewelry and clothing she owned made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
“Darling, do you enjoy giving gifts?” Norah asked. Before they became a couple, when they were just friends, Sean had gifted her a diamond brooch, various clothes, and a pink diamond. The memory of the note he’d sent came to mind: “You’re the one for me, Norah.” Norah would still turn crimson when she recalled his note.
To hide her pink ears, she retrieved her phone and turned around slightly. “I’m going to freshen up. We’ll talkter.” Norah lowered her head.
It only dawned on her at that moment that she had rushed out without taking a shower or brushing her teeth. She worried Sean might think she was too untidy.
Sean was sitting in the chair, his hand reaching out, but Norah suddenly spun around and hurried into her room. Sean withdrew his gaze and tapped the button on his Bluetooth earpiece. “Resume the meeting.”
The executives on the call were silent, cautious not to disrupt the conversation between Sean and Norah. Not being from Cend, they couldn’t fully grasp the specifics of what their CEO had said, but the affection in his voice led them to believe he was speaking with his girlfriend. Seeing this softer side of the usually stern Sean was a revtion for them. They were all amazed.
Norah rushed back to her room and gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Finding no trace of sleepiness or messy trails of slobber, she let out a sigh of relief. She was concerned about maintaining her image in front of Sean.
As she began to brush her teeth, she pondered their rtionship. She hadn’t given Sean anything in return for his generosity, while he continuously showered her with gifts, expecting nothing in return. The gifts he gave her were worth nearly a million dors, yet she had never reciprocated his kindness.
If others found out, they would use her of being a gold digger. Norah’s eyes dropped to the ground, showing her distress.
