The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 169

Catherine wanted to relax a little, but honestly, she barely knew Lewis. All she could do was smile and say, “Sure.”

They took a seat by the window on the second floor, and Lewis waved the waiter over.

“I checked out this place online. A bunch of people recommended their signature dishes,” he said, sliding the menu over to her and pointing out a few options.

Catherine barely glanced at the menu before pushing it back. “I’m not picky. You go ahead and order.”

“Okay.” Lewis seemed to notice she was keeping things polite, so he went ahead with the order. “Do you want something to drink?”

“Just water, thanks.”

The waiter soon returned with a pitcher of hot water. Lewis poured a cup for Catherine.

“I know I keep saying this, but I really wanted to thank you again, face to face, for what you did for my mom.”

Catherine took the cup with both hands. “I’m just glad Pansy’s okay.”

Lewis sat up straight and raised his cup with a solemn look. “I’ll toast you with water since we don’t have wine.”

He looked so serious that Catherine was caught off guard for a second, then she couldn’t help but smile and look away. She’d always thought she was the serious one, but now she wasn’t so sure.

“Alright, after this, we won’t bring it up again,” she said, clinking her cup against his.

Lewis must have realized he was being a little too formal, because he relaxed a bit. “Deal. No more talking about it.”

“So, I heard you’re running the government project now, working with Golden Horizon Enterprises,” Lewis said, changing the subject.

Catherine nodded. The project was pretty well-known, and most people in the industry had heard about it.

“People always say SilverLeaf and Golden Horizon are mortal enemies. Never thought I’d see them working together.”

Lewis hadn’t even been in Cabinda that long, but even he knew about the rivalry.

“There’s no such thing as permanent friends or permanent enemies,” Catherine replied. She wasn’t surprised the two companies had finally found a way to work together.
