Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 978

When Felix returned to his office after his meeting, he saw the auction invitations on his desk.

With almost no hesitation, he told Secretary Lynwood, "Cancel tonight's dinner."

The secretary was slightly surprised.

The dinner was quite important.

Fearing Felix had forgotten, he reminded him, "Mr. Quigley, it's the dinner with Mr. Naylor from Eastvale Corporation. Cancel that too?"

Felix didn't waver. "Yes. Cancel it."

He wanted to personally deliver the invitation to Claire.

He wondered if seeing it would make her a bit happier.

That afternoon, Felix accompanied Madeline to her specialist appointment and took her straight home afterward.

He didn't mention a word about the invitation.

If Secretary Lynwood hadn't tipped her off, she truly would have been kept in the dark.

As Felix was leaving, Madeline purposefully asked, "Felix, are you free this Friday?"

Felix paused slightly. "I have something to do that day."

"Oh, that's fine! Go ahead and be busy. I was just asking," Madeline said, suppressing her bubbling excitement to act casual.

Felix assumed she was just casually asking and didn't think much of it, bidding her goodbye.

However, he didn't head home. He went straight to the hotel.

But Claire wasn't there.

She had gone for a makeup test.

She was busy until very late, finishing past ten at night.

As soon as she returned to the hotel, she received a message from Wilbur.

He didn't say a word, just sent a picture.

When she opened it, her eyes immediately grew hot. She instantly texted back: "Where is it?"

Wilbur replied: "It's one of the lots in Friday's Apex jewelry auction."

Claire couldn't sit still. "What do I need to get in?"

Wilbur: "An invitation."
