The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 207

Tiffany took out her phone and sent a quick message on WhatsApp, then turned to Jacob. "Mr. Jenkins, please go ahead and have it. Lucas ordered enough for everyone."

Jacob immediately grinned. "Well, then. I'll be taking some. It looks like I get to enjoy one of Mr. Grant's famous thoughtful lunches, all thanks to Ms. Moore."

Tiffany smiled faintly and lowered her head to reply to a message.

Jacob brought over a lunchbox each for Evelyn and Justine. "You must be starving, so go ahead and eat. Mr. Grant is nothing but a thoughtful leader."

Justine's expression tightened. "Mr. Grant prepared this lunch for Ms. Moore. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to have some?"

Jacob chuckled. "Mr. Grant may be thoughtful toward Ms. Moore, but he's thorough too. He made sure everyone was covered. There's enough for all of us."

As he spoke, he waved someone over to bring the rest of the lunchboxes.

Justine scoffed. "The wife is benefiting from the mistress' favor? What a sight."

Before she could say more, Evelyn calmly picked up a piece of beef and fed it to Justine.

"You said you're hungry. Just eat," she said in a soft, serene voice, her eyes clear and composed.

Justine instinctively chewed, saliva already building up from the aroma. Seeing Evelyn so calm and unbothered, she could not help but laugh.

"Free gourmet food sure is delicious."

Evelyn gave a faint smile and lowered her head, focusing on the product code. By the time they wrapped things up at TechNova Group, it was already close to 2:00 pm.

Tiffany left ahead of them. She quickly headed upstairs with the elevator.

Jacob glanced in that direction, then said casually, "She's probably heading up to see Mr. Grant. No worries. We're done here anyway."

He pulled out his phone. "We've got a project group chat to streamline communications moving forward. I'll add you both in, Ms. Scott, Ms. Reed."

Evelyn nodded in agreement. Then, Jacob escorted them downstairs.

The moon and the star complemented each other. For a brief moment, Evelyn was genuinely surprised.

Lucas, cold and reserved as he was, using a matching couple avatar with Tiffany?

"Yeah," she replied calmly, saying no more.

Later that evening, Evelyn collapsed on the couch after work, resting a while before regaining some energy. She popped a few pills out of habit, then sat down to open her laptop.

That was when she saw feedback from Jacob. Tiffany had raised concerns about the timeline and a few of the technical requirements, saying they might not be feasible and would need further discussion.

Bluezen had agreed. Evelyn frowned slightly, surprised.

She messaged, "What does Mr. Grant think?"

Jacob replied,"The major decisions at TechNova Group require his input, but we haven't received a clear response yet. If you don't want to keep waiting, would you consider adding Mr. Grant on WhatsApp to discuss this directly?"
