Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 857

A moment later, he said nonchalantly, "It's no problem. You're only a few minutes late, it's not a big deal. The health of your elders is much more important."

His tone was gentle and sincere, putting one at ease.

"So, what were you two talking about?" Anastasia asked with a smile.

The two men exchanged a subtle glance before Lester smiled and said, "Mr. Lancaster was proposing a business deal."

Harrison didn't deny it, only adding coolly, "But Mr. Calderon didn't seem very interested."

Hearing it was business, Anastasia lost interest. Seeing they weren't going to continue, she brought up the events of that day.

She was genuinely grateful to Lester. After expressing her thanks verbally, she added, "As you know, Mr. Calderon, I'm a doctor. It might sound a bit presumptuous, but I want to say that if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to tell me. Even if I can't help, I have several professors who are brilliant."

A warmth spread through Lester's eyes. He shook his head. "I know you mean well, Ms. Sterling, and there's nothing inappropriate about your offer. I'll keep your words in mind. I will."

The last time they'd met, he had asked if he could call her Anastasia and she had agreed. But then that awkward incident had occurred—confessing his feelings only to find out she was married, with her husband walking in on the scene.

To call her that now would be improper. So he politely reverted to "Ms. Sterling."

—Besides, even if she didn't mind the familiar address, Harrison certainly would.

The brief confrontation just now had been enough to show him just how petty this man could be…

As the meal was drawing to a close, it occurred to Anastasia that since Harrison valued her so much, he must have prepared a proper thank-you gift for Lester, her savior, regardless of how much he might have disliked him before.

So she asked.

"Of course, I did."
