Vanessa smiled politely. “I’ll stay beside you. I won’t embarrass you.”
“That’s all I need,” Trevor said.
He checked his watch. “Rumor says the anonymous owner of Summit might attend. The one who saved the company three years ago. If I impress them, I’m looking at Chief Operations Director.”
Vanessa turned slowly from the mirror.
“I hope it works out for you,” she said.
Trevor didn’t notice the quiet spark in her eyes.
He didn’t know the anonymous owner stood a few feet away.
He didn’t know Summit had been acquired through a private trust funded by Vanessa’s inheritance.
He didn’t know the capital that kept the company alive had come from her.
