Chapter 356:
Norah brushed past Jamison’s look of regret without a word, securing the Body-nourishing Pills safely before
exiting the office.
She had initially intended the pills solely for Gil, so giving five of them to Jamison was already a significant
gesture of goodwill.
After her usual visit to Joanna's hospital room to chat and offer comfort, Norah left the hospital to find Sean
waiting for her in his car.
“You know, you don’t have to go out of your way to pickup; I'm perfectly capable of driving myself home,”
she told him, acknowledging his effort but emphasizing her independence.
Their planned dinner had already occurred once before.
During the meal, everyone agreed that while Sean might initially cacross as somewhat daunting, the
realization that he was Norah's partner made him far less intimidating.
It was clear to them that as her boyfriend, Sean was expected to be attentive to Norah's needs and opinions.
Despite his prominent family and commanding presence, Sean was surprisingly approachable—a sentiment
Joanna had specifically pointed out.
“It’s really no bother.

I'll cby the hospital after | finish up at work. How about dinner at Solo tonight? They've introduced a
couple of new dishes that sound pretty enticing.”
“Sounds good.”
Norah had dined at Solo a few times before, and the flavors had left a lasting impression on her.
“Hey, I've decided to take a day off from the hospital tomorrow to get spersonal errands done.”
“Oh? Needto drive you somewhere? Phillip, could you check what we have on for tomorrow?”
Norah quickly covered his mouth. “Hold on, letfinish first.
This is something | need to keep under wraps for now.
| can manage on my own.
I'll fill you in when I'm back.
And after we eat, could we swing by Splendor Building? I'm in the market for a new dress.”
Sean caught her hand gently. “A dress? What's the occasion? Are you going to a party?”
A hint of understanding sparked in Sean's eyes. “I wish you had mentioned this sooner.
| could have arranged for a designer to tailor something specifically for you.
If it’s a matter of urgency for tomorrow, the clothing boutiques under the Scott Group umbrella might have
something ready-to-wear.”
Norah remembered the dress Sean had selected for her for a previous auction; it was designer-made and fit her
like a glove.
As a designer herself, Norah's closet was a trove of her own creations, each piece reflecting her unique style and
flair.
However, the upcoming welcparty she was to attend required meticulous planning in her attire and
accessories to ensure she presented herself impeccably.
While her own designs were perfect for daily wear, she found herself gravitating toward the few banquet-
appropriate dresses she owned for special occasions.
This time, she was in the mood for something fresh and new.
“No, let's just head to Splendor Building.”
“I've got connections there.”
Behind her decision was the knowledge that Aaron, familiar with her style and preferences, would select the
perfect dress to complement her features and the overall look she aimed for.
Moreover, she was counting on Aaron for her makeup, wanting everything to be just right for the event.
Sean, ever accommodating to Norah's wishes, agreed without hesitation.

After enjoying their dinner at Solo Mio, they made their way to Splendor Building and entered BelleVogue
together, Norah leading the way with Sean by her side.
Facing Sean with a playful twinkle in her eye, Norah quipped, “Ready for the marathon of shopping with me? It
can be quite the expedition.”
Flashing a charming smile back at him, she playfully warned, “And just so you know, even if you start dragging
your feet, there's no escape for you.”
Sean responded with an affectionate, resigned smile.
“When have | ever backed down? I'm here for the long haul.”
A sales associate, recognizing Norah, greeted them warmly.
“Ms. Wilson, welcback. What can we assist you with today?”
It was clear to the staff that Norah wasn’t just any customer; she was well-acquainted with their boss.
“Is Aaron not around?”
Norah inquired as she made her way to the dress collections, her eyes scanning the latest designs and fabric
quality.
With a polite smile, the sales assistant informed her, “He is currently engaged in a video conference.”
“Alright, I'll take my tlooking around then,” Norah replied, releasing Sean’s hand.
She pointed toward a set of elegantly arranged sofas. “Why don’t you take a seat over there? I'll need your
verdict on how the dresses look in a bit.”
