Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 20

At dinnertime, Anastasia arrived at the dining room brimming with anticipation.

Harrison had promised her—he would join her for dinner tonight.

But the room was empty. He wasn’t there yet. She sat down, determined to wait for him patiently.

Minutes ticked by, and still no sign of Harrison.

Unable to resist, she glanced upstairs and asked, "Where’s Mr. Lancaster?"

Mary replied coolly, "Mr. Lancaster is busy."

"But he promised to have dinner with me. Did you just call him?"

"I did. Mr. Lancaster doesn’t have time. You should eat first, ma’am."

Anastasia shot Mary a look but said nothing more. She stood up and headed for the stairs.

Mary’s expression darkened as she tried to intercept her, but Anastasia was quick, deftly slipping past and hurrying up.

She paused outside the study and knocked twice. Logan opened the door, surprised to see her. "Ma’am?"

Anastasia peered inside. "Is Mr. Lancaster still busy?"

Before Logan could answer, a low male voice sounded from within.

"What is it?"

Logan took the hint, stepping aside.

Now unobstructed, Anastasia saw him immediately—seated behind the broad desk, Harrison looked up as he set down a file. His profile was striking, aristocratic, and commanded attention without a word.

She felt her heart skip a beat, completely out of her control.

How had she never noticed how magnetic this man was before?

"It’s dinnertime," she reminded him gently, one hand resting on the doorframe.

Harrison glanced at his watch, finally recalling his promise.

"That’s my mistake. I’m sorry."
