"What do you want to know?" Noran demanded, his voice sharp as he stared Roy down, making it clear he expected an answer before he would even consider leaving.
Benjamin stood anxiously by the side, unsure of how to get the chairman to move. They were already very late for their next appointment, and Noran seemed utterly unconcerned.
Roy threw him a look of disbelief. He couldn't understand what was wrong with his friend.
Did Noran really think he was after his fiancée?
Noran had been on edge lately, especially with the attention Shuri had been receiving from others in the company.
But Roy couldn't believe that Noran didn't trust him.
Surely Noran knew that he wouldn't go after Shuri. Why couldn't he just talk to her without Noran hovering around like a possessive guard dog?
Roy sighed heavily. "Hey, not everyone is after your fiancée, alright? I just want to ask Shuri about Karlene."
"What about Lene?" came Shuri's gentle voice from behind, interrupting the tension.
