Chapter 802

She could feel his anger surge through the sudden tensing of his muscles.

She quickly confirmed, “Yes, it was him, but I was really just here to give back his gift! You didn’t like it, remember? I agreed I shouldn’t have accepted it, so I arranged to meet him and return it!”

“Hubby, you have to believe me,” Anastasia pleaded, holding him tightly from

behind, her voice thick with unshed tears.

“If it was nothing, why didn’t you tell me you were meeting him?” Harrison pressed, making no effort to hide his possessiveness on the matter.

“I… I was afraid you’d be angry if I told you…”

Harrison replied coolly, “And I’m not angry now?”

“Did you give it back?” Harrison asked.

Anastasia nodded frantically. “I did, I did!”

Harrison’s expression softened ever so slightly, but he still said, “Think about what you’ve done.”

With that, he pried her hands off him, got into his car, and instructed the driver of the other car, “Take her home.”

Then his own car pulled away.

Left standing there, Anastasia was stunned. “…”

*He’s really that angry?!*

The driver who had received the order approached her respectfully. “Please, get in the car.”

Anastasia gritted her teeth. “Where is Mr. Harrison Lancaster going?”

“Barring any changes, Mr. Harrison Lancaster should be returning to the office.” “Then take me to the office, too!”

Just as she was about to get into the car, Lester came running out.

Even though he was devastated to learn she was with someone, he remained a gentleman, apologizing for his recklessness. “I’m so sorry. I’ve caused you trouble.”

In a hurry to go placate her husband, Anastasia had no time for a lengthy conversation and waved a dismissive hand. “It’s fine, it was just a misunderstanding!”

As she turned to leave, she couldn’t help but look back one last time to say formally appreciate the sentiment, Mr. Calderon, but I’m married. I love my husband very

Pne

much, and he’s likely the only man I’ll

ever love. So, I’m sorry.”

Lester stood frozen in place, watching the car drive away, a strange mix of emotions churning within him.

When Anastasia arrived at the

company she learned Harrison was in a meeting with a client. Unable to wait she tiptoed to the meeting room, peeking furtively through the crack in the door. ‘

Harrison saw her, but his expression remained cold. He continued his conversation with the client, his gaze not lingering on her for even a second, as if he hadn’t seen her at all.

Anastasia dejectedly pulled her head back and told the accompanying assistant, “I’ll wait in his office. Please let him know when he’s out.”

She ended up waiting for over two hours and eventually fell asleep right there in his office.

When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes, checked the time, and then looked around the empty office.

She called the assistant in. “Where is he? Is the meeting still not over?”

The assistant hesitated. “…The meeting ended, but Mr. Harrison Lancaster has already left.”

*He’s definitely doing this on purpose!*

She sank sullenly into the sofa and fell silent.

Elsewhere.

Logan, who already knew what had happened, glanced into the rearview mirror. He felt a pang of sympathy for Anastasia and couldn’t help bert Cautiously plead her case. Harrison Lancaster, it wasn’t that big a mistake. Don’t you think you’re being a little too harsh?”

Harrison looked up coolly. “The mistake wasn’t that big, but if I don’t teach her a lesson, she’ll just do it again.”

Logan supposed Mr. Harrison Lancaster’s concern wasn’t entirely unfounded.
