Chapter 27 I''m Here To
Deliver Some Documents
Linsey stood frozen in ce, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Why wasn''t Collin in a wheelchair?
The man who looked exactly like him stood with a rxed posture, leaning slightly as he gave instructions to the people
around him.
The group listened attentively, their expressions serious, their demeanor respectful.
From her vantage point, Linsey could only make out a partial view of his face-not enough to see clearly.
Without thinking, she took a few hesitant steps forward.
How was this possible? Why was Collin here? And more importantly, why was he able to stand? Wasn''t he supposed to be
paralyzed?
"Who are you?" A voice, calm yetced with curiosity, suddenly spoke up behind her.
Startled, Linsey spun around to find a bespectacled man dressed in a suit.
“Uh, I.....” She instinctively nced back at the meeting room, but the man she had seen just moments ago was gone. The door was now firmly shut. "I''m here to deliver some documents. Is that the main conference room?"
The man''s brow furrowed slightly before he offered a polite, understanding smile. "You must be new. The main conference room on the seventeenth floor is in the other direction. You''ve been looking in the wrong ce."
The other direction? Linsey pressed her lips together, irritation bubbling beneath the surface. No wonder she hadn''t found
1. it.
"Then what about that meeting room? I saw a lot of people in there just now," she said.
The man adjusted his sses, his tone carrying a hint of warning. "That''s the CEO''s conference room. If you''re not a senior executive or a key employee, you really shouldn''t go in without permission."
The CEO''s conference room? Linsey''s mind raced. So, was that Dustin''s meeting room?
"Aren''t you here to deliver documents? Quit standing around. If someone else catches you loitering here, you''re definitely getting an earful," the man urged, gesturing for her to leave.
"Oh, right. Thanks." Linsey cast onest nce over her shoulder. But with the weight of the documents in her hands, shoved her curiosity aside and hurried toward the main conference room.

Luckily, most of the attendees hadn''t arrived yet, and the meeting hadn''t started. She managed to deliver the documents just in time.

Yet her mind was a tangled mess. The image of that man-the one who looked so much like Collin-refused to leave her
thoughts.
Was it really him?
But it didn''t add up. Collin had no reason to be at CR Corporation, let alone standing there like he hadn''t spent thest few years in a wheelchair. Maybe she was mistaken?
Back at her desk, Linsey hesitated before pulling out her phone. She scrolled to Collin''s number and typed out a message.
"Collin, where are you right now?"
It was a casual question, almost offhand. After hitting send, she leaned back in her chair, absentmindedly tapping her fingers against her phone as she waited.
But minutes passed with no reply.
A faint sense of disappointment settled in her chest. He probably wasn''t going to text her back-he had been sulking all morning and had holed himself up in his study.
Sighing, she ced her phone on the desk and tried to focus on browsing thepany''s design website.
Just as she was getting into it, her phone suddenly buzzed.
It was a call from Collin.
Linsey blinked in surprise. She quickly nced around-some colleagues were deep in work, while others were clearly cking off. Not wanting to take the call at her desk, she got up and slipped into a quieter spot nearby.
"Hello?" The moment she spoke, her voice softened without her even realizing it.
There was a brief pause on the other end before Collin''s deep, steady voice came through. "What''s up?"
