My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 490

How could it possibly just be about having a meal together?

Andrew Lane had been raised by Kevin Lane, and if Andrew was known for being cunning, Kevin was even more so.

Word was, ever since Isabella Austin started her maternity leave, she’d been living at the Lane Estate. If she ever returned there, it would certainly stir up trouble. With Isabella’s temperament, there was no way she’d let things slide without making someone’s life difficult.

Emily Blair clenched her fists.

The license for “Black & White Rabbit” was crucial for Vertex International’s upcoming game.

She was done running away.

This was something she’d have to face, sooner or later.

Emily drew a slow breath and spoke up. “When?”

Andrew replied, “You pick the time.”

He watched her steadily, his dark eyes deep and unreadable. Emily let out her breath in silence and nodded.

“All right. I’ll set something up soon.”

Andrew finally released her hand, leaning back against his chair, his voice low. “Good. I’ll be waiting.”

Emily managed a faint smile. “Okay. See you then.”

Andrew gestured for her to go ahead.

She picked up her phone and bag, nodded a silent farewell, and turned to leave.

Outside, Emily found the driver waiting by the curb. She paused by the car door, rubbing the back of her neck and exhaling softly.

She reached for the handle, slipped inside without looking, and leaned her head back, eyes closed. “Take me back to the office,” she said.
