Chapter 207
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âThatâs the spirit!â Lindsey was thrilled for Selah, yet she suddenly remembered something important she had to share, âThereâs something I need to tell you⦠The truth is⦠I didnât just help you for your sake.
â
Then, Lindsey opened up about her own troubles at work and the deal she had struck with Jayleen.
On the other end of the phone, Selahâs soft chuckle came through.
It took Lindsey by surprise.
It was her first time hearing Selah laugh.
âLindsey, to be honest, even without you mentioning it, I had already made up my mind to have you as my agent.
â
âIs that so?â Lindsey felt a rush of pride.
âYou donât think Iâm just a nobody in the business?â
âDefinitely not.
Given your personality and talent, youâre bound to make it big in this field.
I see a lot of potential in you.
Plus, youâre the only one I trust.
Iâm counting on your guidance from now on, my agent!â
Selahâs faith in her, both kind and unwavering, overwhelmed Lindsey with emotion, and she was almost in tears.
âOh, and when you have a chance, could you introduce me to Mr.
Lopez?â
Lindseyâs heart skipped with excitement at Selahâs willingness to meet Vincent.
âIâm free! Anytime at all!â
On the top floor of the Vitality Group.
By the pool table, Domenic was leaning over, cue in hand, lining up the white ball.
âMr.
Walsh, youâre getting pretty good at this.
â
Standing across from Domenic was a man in a sharp, pristine white suit, looking both dashing and refined.
âTo think youâd hand me such a big case the moment I get back to Morcastle.
Iâve never worked pro bono since I started practicing.
If it werenât for the old favor I owe you, Iâd never take on such a job.
â
Domenic looked up, his gaze icy, and countered, âAs the heir to the Barton Group, do you really need the money?â
Not many were aware that Reece stood as the primary heir of the Barton family, one of the four leading families in this city.
He was groomed from a young age for this role, receiving a traditional education
befitting an heir.
Yet, Reece found himself disinterested in the business worldâs overt and hidden battles.
Defying his familyâs expectations, he chose to study law at university and pursued a career as a lawyer after graduation.
His father struck a deal with him; if Reeceâs legal career failed, he would return to manage the familyâs wealth.
Reece, however, never relied on his familyâs fortune.
He carved out a name for himself as a globally recognized lawyer and even founded his own law firm, leaving his father without any grounds for criticism.
âlith the Barton familyâs help? Never needed it,â Reece would say, his eyebrows arching in pride.
He cherished his independence, eager to make his mark without the shadow of his familyâs influence.
âBut whatâs your connection to Selah? Why do you assist her?â Reece questioned Domenic with a curious gaze.
At that moment, Emilio entered the CEOâs lounge.
Hearing Reeceâs question, he commented, âItâs not really about Selah.
Heâs helping someone else.
â
Domenic furrowed his brows slightly, giving Emilio a sideways look.
Emilio shut up sulkily.
âSomeone else?â Reeceâs clear and bright eyes showed a hint of surprise.
âDomenic, do you really have a girlfriend?â
