The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 354

Victoria was surprised to see Curtis show up in person; she couldn't imagine what could be so urgent.

Ailie, ever the intuitive one, immediately caught on.

"I'll leave you two to talk business," she said, already gathering her things.

But Curtis, looking a little out of sorts, waved her off. He knew all too well that Victoria and Ailie were close, so there was no need for her to excuse herself.

"It's nothing confidential. You should stay and hear this too," he said.

With that, Ailie settled back into her seat, no longer feeling like a third wheel.

"I got a call from Mr. Langford today. The military's agreed to sign the drone project contract with The Langford Group, but they can't make it out here to Starfall City. Mr. Langford has to go to them in Evermore City, and Quantum Core Technologies will be taking the lead on this."

Curtis rambled on, skirting around the real issue. Victoria listened quietly, waiting for the point.
