Chapter 245: Who Is She?
A gut feeling, those were good things to have. And though Cassandra Haven did not often blindly listen to hers. After all the people in her circles often had more than enough skeletons to make anybody wary. But just because you were wary of somebody. That did not mean you could not do business with them. You just had to sleep with both eyes open, and smile with all of your teeth on display.
But in the current situation that was unfolding. Her instincts were screaming too loud for her to ignore. The day when Cassandra had come unannounced to Derek’s penthouse, a girl had run past her. And despite the encounter being only brief, Cassandra had been unable to shake the feeling that she had just met somebody who played a big part in her son’s life.
Derek had sworn up and down that the girl was nothing, that what they had going on was temporary. A mutually beneficial agreement. That was what her son had tried to convince her. And Cassandra, being a mother, had tried her very best to believe it, despite every single part of her telling her no. That there was more to it. But despite everything Derek having said about the young woman making sense, Cassandra had been unable to put the issue to rest. It had kept popping up. And no matter what she did to try and forget it.
The issue concerning the girl just would not die.
And now Cassandra finally knew why.
Contrary to what her son might think, Cassandra did not just go to the city to visit him. Sure, she enjoyed popping up from time to time, and surprising him. But there were numerous other occasions, where she went to the city, handled her business and then headed back to the manor without Derek ever even knowing that she had set foot there.
And as it happened, a few days after, Cassandra had had the almost encounter with the young lady that Derek was sleeping with.
She was in the city.
As she did most times when she was just there to enjoy a bit of time with herself, she did a bit of therapeutic shopping. Then once that was done, she went to her favorite restaurant, and had herself some brunch.
