The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 256

Victoria walked away without so much as a backward glance. Curtis kept his eyes fixed on her retreating figure until she finally disappeared from view. When he turned back around, he found himself locking eyes with McNeil. Feeling a bit awkward, Curtis took a sip of water to cover his discomfort.

"Do you like her?" McNeil's voice was low, his expression clouded.

Curtis hadn't noticed the edge in McNeil's tone. He set his glass down lightly on the table. "I guess you could say so. Women like her don't come around often- actually, she's one of a kind. Besides, I hear she and her husband are getting divorced, working through all the paperwork. I'll wait until she's free before I do anything about it."

It was the first time Curtis had admitted his feelings, even to himself. McNeil snorted, and the two men fell into a heavy silence.

"Oh, by the way," Curtis added, "I've been meaning to ask-do you have some sort of issue with Ms. Ailie from our Investment Department?"

He'd wanted to bring it up for a while. Judging by how Victoria had just treated McNeil, she didn't seem to like him much either.

Curtis couldn't figure it out. McNeil wasn't the sort to fool around or rub people the wrong way, so why did it seem like two of the company's best employees didn't care for him?
