Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Cooperate

Lillian sat in her office, a small, barely visible satisfied smile on her face as she went through the documents before her.

She looked relieved and completely unburdened. She felt free.

Free from her past, from the shadow that had been constantly plaguing her mind, from a past that she had always been running from.

"Maybe I should pay Mom and Dad a visit," she muttered to herself and she flipped through the pages of the document, "should I take a short vacation after Sentinel’s launch?"

Finally dealing with the two felt so satisfying. She didn’t expect them to completely back off since she was sure someone was paying them to do this.

Maybe as a way of targeting OmniTech Corp? But this should keep them at bay for a while and it’d be enough time to prepare for when they returned.

Lillian wasn’t going to allow anything to happen to their baby. A blush appeared on her face as soon as the thought crossed her mind and she fanned her face with her hand as if she could physically erase that thought.

Speaking of which, she hadn’t seen Ethan since last night, neither had he texted her. Although, Athena had informed that he was okay, just busy with something.

But she had hoped to at least hear a bit of praise from him even if he didn’t know exactly what she had done.

Her thoughts were broken off by her ringing phone and she quickly turned to it, expecting it to be a call from Ethan only to be disappointed when she noticed it wasn’t a number saved on her phone.

"Hello?" She said as she placed the phone on her ear.

"Is this Ms. Hayes?" A voice asked from the other end, though it didn’t seem like a question, it was more of a confirmation.

"Yes?" Lillian answered, the voice sounded male and not exactly one she recognized so how had they, whoever the person was, gotten her number?

Nothing was said for a while after her affirmation but from the sounds in the background, it seemed the person with the phone was moving.

"Hello Lillian," a second later, another voice was heard, this one was of a female and she had a slight Russian accent, "this is Irina Romanova."

Romanova?

The name sounded familiar but she couldn’t exactly remember where she had heard it before, but it definitely wasn’t from someone she personally knew.

"I see you haven’t heard of me," Irina continued letting out a small chuckle. "But that doesn’t matter right now, I don’t usually introduce myself to people this way, Lillian, but you and I... we share an interest."

Lillian frowned at her words, she was sure they had never met to even know what interests they shared so she asked, "and what exactly would that be?"

She expected something related to OmniTech Corp, maybe a company owner trying to personally cut a deal with them ahead of all the others, but the answer was not one she expected.

There was a short pause before Irina spoke again, her grin could almost be heard through the phone.

"Ethan Carter."

And that’s how Lillian found herself in this restaurant with this admittedly beautiful lady of Russian descent.

Honestly, was this lady flaunting her beauty with that dress? Or was this some form of psychological attack to suppress her?

Contrary to Lillian’s thoughts, Irina was dressed like this to impress her or at least gain her approval, why?
