The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 18

Aaron didn’t really get it, but he followed orders right away and passed the message to the project team.

By eleven, the party finally broke up.

Catherine had already parked at the hotel entrance, waiting in her car.

Aaron was pretty drunk, so Lance arranged for him to stay at the hotel. That meant only Lance and Adelina came out. Catherine hopped out fast and opened the car door for them.

She’d changed out of her dress and now wore a fitted black skirt and a crisp white blouse, a pink diamond pin sparkling at her collar.

She was in such a rush, she hadn’t even grabbed her gray coat. The cold wind cut through her shirt, blowing the collar open and showing off her elegant collarbones.

Adelina instantly felt a surge of jealousy and reached for Lance’s arm, stopping him.

“Lance, I’m tired.”

Normally, after a night like this, Lance would drive them all home before heading back himself.

Lance held the door open for her. “Get in.”

Once Adelina was settled, Lance closed the door and turned to Catherine, his voice low. “Take a taxi home.”

“Yes.” Catherine answered, but the wind was like ice, chilling her all over.

She walked around to the driver’s seat, grabbed her coat and bag, then stepped aside.

Adelina lowered the window, looking at Catherine with a half-smile. “Lance, Catherine’s a girl. Isn’t it dangerous for her to go home alone this late?”

Lance glanced at Catherine, still standing there in the wind. Her shirt clung to her, showing off her slim waist. Her delicate features and small face stood out in the night, making her look almost too vulnerable to be out here alone.

Lance frowned. A responsible boss couldn’t just leave her like this.

Catherine smiled calmly. “Thanks for worrying, Adelina, but it’s a regular taxi. I’ll be fine.”

“Alright, let’s go, Lance,” Adelina said quickly, rolling the window up.
