She felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Of all the times and places, why did she have to run into Dustin now? If he saw her with another man, he would probably rush to tell Collin. Just last night, Collin had warned her about Gorman. Yet here she was, standing with Gorman right in front of Dustin…

No matter how many explanations she came up with, she was certain Collin wouldn’t believe any of them.

“Linsey, have you finally realized how amazing I am?” Gorman, lost in his own delusions, gazed down at Linsey with a smug grin. “Since you’ve come around, why don’t you divorce your husband today?”

Linsey bit her lip, speechless. At that moment, she felt more inclined to call an ambulance for Gorman than the police. She doubted his brain was still functioning properly!

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Unable to hold back, she stomped on his foot.

Gorman gasped, taken aback by her response.

“Who’s there?” called Dustin from the elevator entrance. His voice echoed as he heard the commotion from around the corner.

Linsey was panic-stricken, her eyes darting around for an escape. To her dismay, she realized that in her haste, she had driven Gorman into a narrow dead-end with no way out.

She felt trapped.

Running into Dustin was awkward enough, but this situation made it worse. Hidden away in a corner with Gorman, Linsey was certain Dustin would assume the worst.

Gorman recognized the voice at once. It belonged to Dustin, the heir to the Wade family and acting CEO of CR Corporation.

“So, it’s him,” Gorman murmured with a low chuckle.

He glanced at Linsey, her anxiety palpable. Was she really that afraid of Dustin just because she was with him? The thought amused him.

“Relax. It’s just CR Corporation. I don’t take them too seriously. Since we’re stuck here, why don’t you join me at Green Group? It would make things easier, wouldn’t it?”

She was probably worried about being seen with him by the acting CEO of CR Corporation, given that he was their competitor. While most people here might not recognize him, Dustin definitely would. No wonder Linsey was so nervous. Her job at CR Corporation meant everything to her.

Gorman could easily offer her a position at Green Group. He was willing to give her any role she wanted.

Linsey, however, was at her breaking point. Couldn’t he see how desperate she was? Yet he kept rambling, completely oblivious.

Without thinking, Linsey clamped a hand over his mouth and shot him a sharp glare. “Shhh! Shut up!”

A flicker of surprise crossed Gorman’s face. The moment Linsey’s hand covered his mouth, a familiar scent wrapped around him—subtle yet unmistakable. That long-lost fragrance pulled him straight back to the days when Linsey had cared for him in that quiet fishing village. He remained unnervingly still, making no sound. Yet beneath his calm exterior, he was waiting—anticipating.

If Dustin saw them, maybe Linsey wouldn’t have to stay chained to CR Corporation. And really, what was so special about this company? Sooner or later, he would take down CR Corporation.
