The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 45

Catherine was practically untouchable at the company, just one step below the boss.

Shirley had never even dared to imagine she could take over Catherine’s position.

But now, with Adelina supporting her—the soon-to-be lady of the company—everything felt possible.

“Adelina, seriously, you don’t have to worry about a thing. From now on, I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll keep a close eye on Lance for you. I won’t let any other woman get near him… Actually, I know Lance only cares about you, and even if other women throw themselves at him, he wouldn’t notice. Still, it must get annoying. I’ll take care of it so he has more time for you.”

That was exactly what Adelina wanted to hear.

Adelina handed her the termination papers. “Alright then, you’re with me now. Tomorrow, when Catherine comes in, give this to her. Make sure she signs it and leaves.”

“Absolutely!” Shirley took the papers, barely able to wait for tomorrow.

...

The Cabinda Restaurant, top floor, private luxury suite.

Lance and Adelina showed up late.

As soon as they walked in, Belinda started in on them. “You knew we were having dinner with Daniel and Sarah tonight. You couldn’t have come a little earlier?”

Sarah, Adelina’s mom, stepped in to smooth things over. “Young people are busy with work, it’s normal. We’re all family here, there’s no need to be so formal. Besides, Adelina was late too. Why aren’t you saying anything to her?”

“Adelina was with him. He’s probably the reason they were late,” Belinda shot back, then looked at Lance again. “Daniel and Sarah insisted on waiting for you before we ordered.”

“No need to wait on my account,” Lance said as he pulled out a chair and sat down. He pulled out the chair next to him for Adelina too.

Adelina took the seat beside him and greeted Belinda and Garrison.

“Sorry for making you wait, Garrison, Belinda.”

Garrison nodded back, quiet as ever.
