Losing to My Substitute (Katerina and Joshu) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 23 

Today, with the game’s launch, Linda was in a good mood and unconsciously cooked a bit more than 

usual. 

Rachel carefully propped her tablet up in front of her, staring at the freshly obtained Golden Card. She couldn’t stop grinning as she ate. 

Suddenly, she paused mid–bite and looked up from her plate. 

“Linda, can I produce exclusive merchandise for your game?” 

Linda nodded. “Of course you can, but haven’t you always wanted to retire and take it easy? Now you’re thinking about starting a business again?”

“Book me a flight to Denmark tomorrow morning. Use any means necessary to arrange a meeting with the producer of Novelist’s Love Choice. Do it quickly.” 

Ending the call, he leaned forward, resting his hands against his chin, his expression distant and 

contemplative. 

“Linda, I will find you and earn your forgiveness.”

Denmark, Airport. 

Ivan stepped off the plane, glancing around at the unfamiliar surroundings with a frown. His emotions were a mix of apprehension and determination. 

“Linda, have you been living here all these years?” 

His grip on the suitcase tightened as he bit his lip, then strode forward with resolute steps.
