Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 590

Clayton worked relentlessly, burning through the files until past ten o'clock at night.

He still had a meeting with one of the project leads. Since he had promised Alicia he would handle Jade's workload, he intended to clear every single task she threw at him.

"Mr. Holloway, the dinner with Mr. Howard and Mr. Chamberlain is all set. They were both eager to attend when they heard you were hosting," the assistant said, walking in with a professional smile.

An invitation directly from Clayton was an opportunity no executive would dare turn down.

Initially, those men had hesitated to collaborate with White Corporation because Clayton's stance on Alicia had seemed ambiguous. Now that Clayton was personally stepping in, they were intrigued.

They had no idea what kind of deal Clayton and Alicia had struck, or why he was suddenly doing the heavy lifting.

But they respected Clayton's ruthless competence, and no one wanted to get on his bad side.

"Natalia is still waiting for you in the lobby," the assistant added quietly.

Clayton shot him an icy look. "Take my car and drive out first. I'll take a different vehicle."

He was using his assistant as a decoy to throw Natalia off.

He had no intention of seeing her. Only by pushing her to absolute desperation would she finally turn on the Gentleman.

That outcome would benefit both him and Tyrone.

The assistant nodded and hurried out to execute the plan.

...

Back at Clayton's residence.

Jade lounged on the sofa, aimlessly wiggling her injured foot. Her mind was spiraling. How long would it be until Melisande moved in here?

Clayton had been gone all day. It was nearing midnight, and he still wasn't back. Were he and Melisande finally having their grand reunion?
