Chapter 422 Is Gorman Really Leaving The Count...


    Collin didn''t say a word, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he gestured for Linsey to open the paper and


    see for herself.


    Linsey unfolded the paper and quickly spotted a series of numbers written across


    it.


    In less than two seconds, she understood exactly what they were and couldn''t


    help but give Collin a yful nudge on the chest.


    "You really tricked me!" she said, augh escaping her.


    What a shameless man!


    He clearly knew his own measurements, yetst night, he had insisted on having her measure him again.


    And as a result, they had ended up spending the entire night tangled in the closet. Even now, Linsey still felt a slight ache in her lower back.


    Collin chuckled softly, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer. "Don''t be mad, honey."


    He gently kneaded the sore spot on her back. "Is this where it hurts?"


    His assistant, sensing the moment, discreetly stepped out of the study and quietly shut the door behind him, giving them some privacy.


    They were so affectionate-he couldn''t help but feel a twinge of envy, a single man watching their closeness. Linsey didn''t pull away from his massage, though she still pouted in mild displeasure.


    "Collin, we can''t do this again tonight..." Her face flushed slightly, making it harder to continue. “You need to hold back. You''re still recovering, and I have to work. We can''t keep doing this."


    Collin nced at her serious expression and couldn''t help butugh. He nodded, his tone softening. "Alright, tonight I''ll make sure you actually get some rest."


    The past few days had been a bit too intense, leading to her not getting enough sleep.


    Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Linsey finally felt somewhat satisfied.


    "By the way, I overheard you talking to your assistant earlier," Linsey said, breaking the silence. "I wasn''t snooping, though. You guys just didn''t close the door properly."


    Collin grinned, his hand still caressing her waist. "No worries. You can hear all the reports I get anyway." Linsey returned his grin and leaned forward to give him a quick kiss on the lips. "Same here. No secrets

    between us."


    For a split second, Collin''s expression stiffened, but it quickly returned to normal


    It was fine, Collin reassured himself. He would soon be able to tell her everything Linsey didn''t catch the fleeting shift in his expression. "Is Gorman really leaving the country?"


    Collin feigned annoyance. "Are you seriously that concerned about Gorman?"


    "I''m just asking." Linsey replied with a sigh, picking up on his hint of jealousy. I don''t want to hide mything from you. Last time, because of Fernanda''s plot, I ended up hurting him, and I still feel galley sout it had even though we found the person who poisoned him, I can''t fully let myself off the hook"


    Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Collin felt a wave of sympathy.


    He lifted his hand, gently cupping her soft cheek, and stroked it with his thumb, offering a quiet, tender reassurance that slowly soothed her troubled heart.


    "Don''t me yourself. None of this is on you," Collin said gently, his voice soft.


    Linsey met his gaze, her expression earnest. "Please, don''t misunderstand my rtionship with Gorman There''s truly nothing between us. The only reason we''re connected is because I saved him when we were overseas."


    Collin ran his fingers through her hair, pushing a strand away from her face, and his yful tone disappeared "I believe you," he said, his voice steady. "But it''s hard for me to buy that Gorman would just walk away. He seems obsessed with you."
