The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 673

"What?" Celine's tone grew even more incredulous.

Catherine shut down her computer, grabbed her purse, and headed for the door.

"Are you really not going to the reception tonight?"

Celine chased after her. "What if Geoffrey gets angry and cancels the partnership?"

Catherine pressed the elevator button. "This partnership is basically handing the Lee Group a piece of the pie. They should be the ones eager for this, not us."

"But what about Director Hammer..." Celine couldn't shake the feeling that Hammer desperately wanted this deal.

"If he asks, just tell him the truth."

Catherine stepped into the elevator. "Email any urgent work to me and shoot me a text so I know to look for it."

Celine was still a rookie and didn't quite understand all the unspoken rules yet.

The urgent file she had sent yesterday hadn't been seen until today.

Thankfully, it hadn't caused any real damage.

"Got it!" Celine agreed, watching the elevator doors close.

Catherine wasn't going home today; she planned to track down Gavin.

Her calls and texts to him had gone completely unanswered over the past few days.

The sporadic phone statuses and rejected calls proved he was still alive, just actively avoiding her.

She went straight to his apartment. When he didn't answer her knocks, she punched in the code and let herself in.

The moment she stepped inside, she heard the bedroom door on her left click shut and lock.

"Why are you hiding from me?" Catherine asked, finding the situation both annoying and amusing. "You tossed the Golden Horizon seal, but it didn't cause me any trouble."

Gavin's muffled voice came through the door. "My dad hasn't fired you yet?"

"I'm still waiting," Catherine replied. "Waiting for him to lose his patience, fire me, and pay me a hefty severance package."

Even if Gavin hadn't fallen out with his father, he couldn't guarantee Catherine smooth sailing at Golden Horizon Enterprises.

A man like Hammer would never tolerate the former executive secretary of SilverLeaf Industries under his roof.

"Did the deal with the Lee Group go through?" Gavin couldn't resist asking.
