Chapter 820:

Turning away from the window, she reached for her phone to question Corey, only to discover a message from him.

“Caden has requested that you sign the contract. Ms. Bennett, my apologies for any inconvenience.”

Included in the message was the location for the signing, on the third floor of the hotel she was in. Caden had been waiting for her in that private room.

Alicia had never imagined that Caden would team up with Corey just to set her up. Was it really all about that machine? Or had Caden been behind this from the start?

Doubt flashed in Alicia’s eyes, but she quickly dismissed the latter thought. It had been two years, after all. The Caden she once knew was long gone. He had had his share of wild times and met tons of gorgeous, impressive women since then. There was no way he’d still remember her. If he felt anything for her now, it was probably just pure resentment. He had to hate her for tricking him into going to City Hall to wait for a whole day, only for her to stand him up.

Caden was the king of holding grudges. So, tonight’s negotiation was probably just a setup with no escape.

Alicia decided to call Corey first. As soon as the call connected, Corey jumped in.
