Chapter 96 Linsey, I Miss


    You


    Cynthia couldn''t bring herself to ept the fact that Linsey had sealed a deal with Anthea.


    If Linsey used Anthea to ascend further in her career, she would steal Cynthia''s spotlight in the department.


    That simply would not do.


    A determined spark ignited in Cynthia''s eyes as she resolved quietly to herself.


    She had to tank this deal.


    On the other side, Linsey''s day was consumed by her desk, where she was intently preparing design proposals to meet


    Anthea''s stringent criteria.


    Typically, a designer would create various options after understanding a client''s preferences, providing them with choices.


    This could often lead to new ideas or additional requests from the client, necessitating a flexible and responsive approach


    from the designer.


    Given the substantialpensation offered by Anthea, it was clear why she demanded nothing short of excellence.


    Linsey was meticulous, focusing on every detail to guarantee the sess of this project.


    Once she delved into her work, Linsey lost track of time. After enjoying the afternoon tea Coen had thoughtfully provided,


    she wasn''t hungry and didn''t notice that the workday had officially ended over an hour ago.


    Her phone buzzed suddenly.


    Jolted from her focus, Linsey instinctively soothed her stiff neck, a result of hours spent hunched over her work.


    She picked up her phone and read a message from Collin asking, "When are youing home?"


    She scanned the quiet office; it was empty. Everyone had left, and she was thest one stillboring past normal hours.


    With a wry smile, Linsey thought about how pleased CR Corporation must be to have someone as dedicated as her.


    It wasn''t until she stopped working that she felt a wave of tiredness wash over her. Too exhausted to text, she chose to


    call Collin back instead.


    The phone connected swiftly, and without looking away from herputer, she asked, "What''s up? Is something urgent?"


    "Hm " Collin''s voice was warm through the phone, tinged with an undertone of seriousness. "Yes, it''s quite urgent."


    Linsey paused, anxiety creeping in. "What''s happening? I''ll be there soon. Just wait for me."


    She was about to hurry and pack up when Collin spoke again, his voice now serious yet gentle. "Linsey, I miss you. There''s something important I have to discuss with you in person."

    Linsey stopped in her tracks, her cheeks warming suddenly. She was caught off guard by Collin''s directness.


    When had Collin be so forthright? She wasn''t ready for this.


    "Okay, I''ll see youter," Linsey replied.


    After ending the call, Collin looked at his phone screen, his lips curving into a soft smile.


    He couldn''t pinpoint exactly when it began, but his emotions were deeply connected to Linsey now.


    Just the sound of her voice was enough to brighten his day.


    At that moment, the butler walked in with a cheerful demeanor. "Mr. Riley, the candlelit dinner is set. I''ve checked the


    roses and the record yer-everything is perfect."


    Collin snapped back to the present and smiled warmly at the butler. "Josh, thank you."


    "You''re wee, Mr. Riley. It''s my pleasure." Josh Gomez returned the smile, adding, "I''ve ensured that your evening with


    Mrs. Riley will be undisturbed."
