Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 429

“Dinner? You decide. Whatever you want is fine with me.”

“Right, half an hour at most. You can call ahead to make a reservation so we don’t have to wait.”

“Oh, and could you get a file for me from the safe? It’s the one with the green tab, right on top. We can drop it off at Mr. Grayson’s place after dinner.”

Noreen’s fingers paused over her keyboard for half a second. She was surprised that Bianca knew the combination to Seth’s safe. Then again, she shouldn’t be. When had Seth ever held anything back from Bianca? This was just standard procedure for them.

By the time Seth finished his call, Noreen had finalized the proposal and sent it to him for review. He read it, found no issues, and signed it.

As they concluded, Seth made a perfunctory offer. “It’s dinnertime. Would you care to join us, Ms. Gilmore?”

Noreen replied with equal politeness. “No, thank you. I have no interest in being a third wheel. I hope you both have a pleasant evening.”

Just as her group was leaving the conference room, Bianca arrived, clearly there to meet Seth. She shot Noreen a cold glare before sweeping past her into the room with an air of ownership.

Her coquettish voice drifted out from inside. “Seth, I’ve already picked a restaurant. Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

The moment Noreen got into the car, she called Scott Quigley.

“Where are you?”

“On my way back to Rivercrest City. I have something important to discuss with you.”
