Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 559

The others crowded around, their expressions shifting from skepticism to shock to pure awe.

“Ma’am… you actually did it?” Ms. Evelyn whispered, her voice faint.

“Did you think I was bluffing?” Anastasia yawned again. “Alright, send it to the summit committee.”

“Yes, right away!” Mr. Lynn said, his face glowing with excitement.

Anastasia turned to her team. “You’ve all earned a couple of days off. Go home and rest.”

“No way!” one of the researchers immediately protested. “The summit is too important! We have to be there!” The others all nodded in agreement, their tired, bloodshot eyes shining with an almost fanatical devotion. This past week, they had witnessed a miracle.

Anastasia sighed in mock resignation. “Fine. If you insist on working, I’ll just have to give you all bonuses. Now, go home.”

After they had dispersed, she turned to Sean. “Anything important happen at the company while I was… occupied?”

“Nothing at the company, ma’am,” he replied. “But something did happen with you.”

“Hmm?” A jolt of alarm shot through her. “What do you mean?”

He was standing there with Logan, his expression unreadable. He had been there the whole time, obscured by the crowd. Her heart hammered against her ribs. She rushed to him and threw her arms around his waist, looking up with a guilty expression. “Harrison, what are you doing here?”

His voice was a low, cool rumble. “If I didn’t come here, when, exactly, were you planning on remembering to come home?”

“What are you talking about?” she said, avoiding his gaze. “I would never forget to come home! I just got… caught up in the work.”

“Is that so?” he replied, his tone making it clear he didn’t believe a word of it. He had tolerated her absence, even when he found out she was staying overnight at the lab. He’d let her finish her work. But now that it was done, the first thing she did was ask about the company, not him. The little ingrate hadn’t given him a single thought.
