Catherine’s eyes lit up and she shot back a reply, “Travel safe.”
Lenny messaged right away. “Don’t worry, the Nexus Dynamics security team is with me. And I’m coming home on a private jet.”
Relief washed over Catherine. That was one less thing to worry about. Just then, Lawrence came in, carrying a glass of warm water. He saw she was awake and smiled gently. “How did you sleep?”
Catherine couldn’t hide her excitement. “Lenny found the USB drive from all those years ago.”
Lawrence didn’t look surprised at all. He sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms. “I know,” he said softly.
The way he seemed to have everything under control made her feel safe. With him here, she didn’t need to be anxious about anything.
“What do you want to eat?” Lawrence asked, his fingers gently smoothing her messy hair.
“I want something light. Maybe your noodles,” Catherine said, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a playful look. “Will you make them for me, hubby?”
Lawrence touched her nose with a look full of affection, then pressed his forehead to hers, smiling. “Of course. Anything you want.”
Catherine hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek. “I feel so lucky to have the big CEO cooking noodles just for me.”
“At home, I’m not a CEO. I’m just your husband,” Lawrence said, clearly wanting to keep things simple between them.
Catherine giggled. “Okay, then. I’ll wait for my noodles.”
