Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1549

Norah suddenly started squirming in his arms, holding onto his neck for dear life and refusing to let go.

Xavier, a big guy, immediately stiffened up. The girl's soft cheek was pressed against his neck, her delicate and fragrant touch made him tense up from head to toe. Her sweet scent was making him a bit dizzy.

Norah herself was shocked by her own actions. She must have gone nuts to do such a shameless thing after confessing to a guy.

Her heart was pounding even harder than before, and her cheeks were burning, but she didn't want to let go.

After a moment of silence, Xavier said in a husky voice, "Down."

Norah froze for a moment, then let go and slid off him. She lowered her head, looking like a kid who had done something wrong, feeling utterly embarrassed. "I'm sorry!"

Xavier acted as if nothing had happened and went to pick up a ladder. "That's enough; no more pruning. I'll clean up here, you go help Zachary in the kitchen."

"Okay." Norah didn't dare to look at Xavier, she headed for the kitchen. After a few steps, she stopped and looked apologetic. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to offend you!"

After saying that, Norah couldn't help but laugh. She rolled her eyes and went quickly into the kitchen.

Xavier, carrying the ladder, stared at the disappearing figure of the girl. He was taken aback. He thought she was embarrassed, but it turned out she thought she had done something bad.

Offend?

Why did the word 'offend' sound so strange?

And she didn't do it on purpose?

Was someone forcing her?

The more Xavier thought about it, the more amusing he found it. He allowed himself a small smile, looking at the bug on the fallen leaves. He flicked a leaf at the bug. The bug's wings were shattered, and its ugly body fell into a pile of twigs and leaves.

At the James Building.

In the afternoon, Charlie was holding a meeting in the marketing department's meeting room, and Emily was there to take notes.
