The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 94

She bit her lip and held her breath while she buckled her seatbelt, then settled back in her seat.

Inside the car, the air felt tight, every inch filled with a tension neither of them mentioned.

Catherine turned her face to the window and waited in silence for Lance to bring up work.

Half an hour later, the Cullinan rolled to a stop in front of Solenia Center.

They had finally arrived, but Lance still hadn’t said a word about business. He just got out first and walked inside without looking back.

Catherine hurried after him, quickening her steps to catch up. “Lance, don’t you want to check the data I put together?”

“No need.” His answer was quiet, lips barely moving.

Catherine had worked for him for years without a single mistake, especially not on something as simple as organizing data. The steady certainty in his voice made her pause, but she quickly fell back into step beside him.

Solenia was a booming city in the south, a magnet for new projects and investments. Everyone wanted a piece of it.

Lance was here to meet the head of regional development, Harrison, a man in his forties who basically ran Solenia.

Catherine assumed Lance had come ready to seal the deal, proposal in hand, just waiting for a signature.

But once they sat down and she listened to the two men chat, she realized Lance hadn’t even decided which area he wanted to focus on.

Yesterday, while shopping, Catherine had overheard Gavin on a phone call. She hadn’t caught the details, but it was obvious Gavin came prepared for this trip.

While her thoughts wandered, Lance and Harrison wrapped up their conversation and stood to shake hands.

Catherine, feeling like an afterthought, got up and shook Harrison’s hand too.

“It’s not every day you come by, Lance. I’ve made arrangements for you. Let me give you a proper welcome today,” Harrison said, turning to Lance after a quick handshake with Catherine.

Normally, Lance would’ve declined this kind of social invitation. To her surprise, he agreed right away. “Thank you, Harrison. We’ll leave it up to you.”

“My pleasure,” Harrison replied, leading them outside.

As they stepped out of Solenia Center, Gavin climbed out of his car across the way.

Gavin’s usually playful look was toned down with a hint of businesslike seriousness. He gave Harrison a polite nod and a small smile as he walked over.
