?Chapter 279:


    Norah epted the document and began to peruse its contents. Inside were inquiries for various projects, each presenting its own unique set of challenges. Flipping through the pages, Norah hesitated before tossing it aside.


    With her capabilities, why didn’t she make a significant contribution to her own country? Why bother to help foreigners with their research? Besides, the cost of finished drugs here was too high for resale back home, rendering them unattainable for those who direly needed them.


    As Norah turned to thest page, she noticed a bold deration. “This project is a public service initiative.”


    Norah scrutinized thest project. The drugs were intended for public welfare, reasonably priced, and targeted at ordinary citizens. The challenges posed by this endeavor seemed rudimentary to her. “I may not be able to tackle the other issues, but this one… I believe I have a solution,” she dered.


    To save time, Norah swiftly pointed out the problems in the document and provided solutions one by one, her words tumbling out in rapid session.


    “Do you recall what I just mentioned?” she inquired, closing the document and casting a disapproving nce at the two individuals before her. Had it not been for the fact that thest project was a public service endeavor, Norah wouldn’t have wasted a moment conversing with them.


    Shelton wiped the sweat from his brow. Norah’s speech had been so rapid that he struggled to remember the beginning once she reached the end. “I probably have it all memorized.”


    “Excellent. I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye,” Norah said curtly, thrusting the document into Shelton’s assistant’s hand before exiting the room.

    d in a sleek ck suit, Norah exuded an aura of strength and determination.


    “Do you remember the Supernatural Doctor’s advice?”


    While the Supernatural Doctor had provided a solution for just one project, it was still preferable to keep thempletely clueless. The assistant silently retrieved his phone. “I recorded it.”


    Shelton’s face lit up. “Well done, my boy! Good job!” Why hadn’t he thought to record their conversation with the Supernatural Doctor himself? Shelton chided himself for not anticipating Norah’s remarkable ability. With just a cursory nce, she could provide the most intricate and precise solutions without needing much information.


    However, Norah seemed unwilling to prolong the conversation any further, appearing visibly rushed, making it difficult for Shelton to detain her a moment longer.


    “Let’s head back and provide the R&D team with a thorough overview of the information.”


    ncing at the time, Norah realized nearly twenty minutes had passed since she had answered Sean’s call. Without dy, she dialed Sean’s number to exin the situation. “I’ve had a minor unexpected issue here, but it’s under control now. You might have to wait another half hour.”


    Sean, seated before an exquisite meal, replied, “No problem.”


    “Just make sure you’re safe on your way back.”


    After ending the call, Sean instructed Phillip, “Take the dishes away for now. We’ll have themter.”


    Fishing out a cigarette, Sean lit it with the flickering me from his carved lighter, taking a long drag before exhaling a smoke ring. The smoke veiled his refined features, casting a shadow over his delicate eyebrows and eyes.


    Norah was preupied, and he realized he shouldn’t pry into her private affairs. Despite his curiosity about her whereabouts and activities, he knew he had to restrain himself. Two people who cared for each other would gradually learn to ept one another and be willing to adapt for each other’s sake.


    In the past, Sean would have instructed Phillip to investigate what his partner was up to and who she was spending time with. The scent of cigarette smoke lingered around Sean’s nose and mouth as he squinted, his gaze dimmed. He knew Norah harbored numerous secrets before they got together.


    On her way back, Norah pondered Sean’s numerous missed calls. She realized he must have been anxious because he couldn’t reach her. Contemting this, she felt an urgent longing to be by his side at that very moment.
