Crises in Love novel Chapter 380

Catherine didn't bother to look back or pause; she just waved over her shoulder at me. She had to know what I was talking about, right?

The conference room of VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals was up ahead.

As Dad and Ronan—no, I mean Bennett—and I approached the door, a cacophony of voices spilled out. The shareholders were obviously all there.

Bennett held up a hand to stop us, and we came to an abrupt halt.

A loud voice from inside was saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, please, I've heard what you're all getting at. You want Bennett to make a call on launching the product sooner rather than later, right? But as I see it, we’ve got to hit it where it hurts. You're all missing the big picture here."

Bennett shot a glance at Dad, the corners of his mouth ticking up in a smirk. Dad returned the look with a knowing smile.

I couldn't help but scoff internally at their synchrony. It was like they communicated with just a look.

Was it my cunning father who influenced this enigmatic Bennett, or it the other way around?

Whatever the case maybe, a persistent feeling told me that their relationship wasn't as simple as it looked. And now, I was starting to feel like I understood my dad less and less.

Who really was Bennett, and could he be the same Ronan I hadn't seen in twelve years? Suddenly, I was desperate to dig into Bennett's past. But that was easier said than done.

I refocused, straining to catch more of the discussion inside.
