Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 353

Anya didn't notice her unusual reaction. After all, in her eyes, Willow was just a naive, twenty-year-old girl who knew nothing about the cruelty of the real world.

Faced with an opportunity that practically fell out of the sky, Willow wouldn't suspect a thing.

Anya didn't even bother to conceal the disdain in her eyes. "Is that so? What a wonderful coincidence. When are you planning to leave?"

Willow offered a soft chuckle, her eyes curving harmlessly, stripped of all aggression.

She replied, "I'm leaving tomorrow night. I have a banquet to attend the day after."

Anya had zero interest in whatever banquet Willow was talking about and completely tuned it out.

She lowered her eyes, her gaze shifting calculatingly before she smiled at Willow. "If your banquet is the day after tomorrow, why don't we leave today? That gives us a full buffer day to tour the facilities, which makes the schedule much more efficient. It will also expedite our collaboration. What do you think?"

She was certainly in a rush.

Willow gently rubbed the ruby on her index finger, putting on a thoughtful expression.

Anya grew slightly anxious. "What are you hesitating for, Ms. Shaw? My proposal is an incredible opportunity for you. Aside from our company, who else is willing to partner with you right now? I hope you grab this chance and don't let trivial matters delay you."

Those words were rather insulting, causing Logan's hands to ball into fists.

Anya's every word dripped with contempt for Edenic Bloom.

Hearing it, Willow merely gave a light laugh. "Sure, let's head out later today. To be honest, I'm quite interested in you as well."

Anya found nothing wrong with that statement and visibly relaxed the moment she got her answer.

Logan suppressed his mounting anger and whispered to Willow, "I'll go book your flight."

Just as Willow was about to nod, Anya interjected. "There's no need for commercial tickets. Our company values this partnership highly, so we've already prepared a private jet. I'll go request the flight path now; we should be ready for takeoff in about two hours."
