Three months later, Daniel returned to the same restaurant.
But this time, there was no contract on the table.
Claire sat across from him wearing a business suit.
The investigation had confirmed that Robert Hale’s company had been used without his approval.
Several hidden ownership transfers were reversed.
Victoria was removed from every position connected to Carter Industries.
Claire had provided the documents that made it possible.
Daniel smiled.
Hard to believe this started because you looked at page fourteen.
Claire laughed.
Hard to believe you were about to sign it.
Daniel nodded.
Fair.
A waiter approached and placed two glasses of water on the table.
Claire looked at the glass.
No champagne tonight?
Daniel smiled.
I learned to read before celebrating.
Claire raised her glass.
Good lesson.
Daniel did the same.
Months earlier, she had been the waitress everyone expected to stay silent.
Now she was the key witness who had helped save his company.
And Daniel never signed another contract without reading every page himself.
