Chapter 254

If Lindsey couldn’t uncover who was backing Jayleen, it would be challenging to deal with her.

Lindsey breathed a heavy sigh, realizing that the outcome of this gamble remained uncertain.

As she exited the office building, feeling downhearted, a friendly male voice caught her attention.

“Hi there, Linds.

”

Lindsey glanced towards the gate and spotted Sumner standing in the open area.

His pure white shirt swayed in the breeze.

He approached her with a gentle smile and remarked, “You’ve been working late, even after everyone else has gone.

You must be swamped with work.

”

“I thought you would’ve left after your interview,” Lindsey said, a bit surprised.

“I’ve been here, waiting for you.

” Sumner smiled at her.

“Are you feeling hungry? What do you want to eat? It’s my treat.

”

Lindsey’s stomach didn’t waste any time responding with a loud growl as soon as he finished speaking.

Lindsey and Sumner exchanged warm smiles, and then they entered a restaurant.

During dinner, curiosity sparkled in Lindsey’s eyes as she asked, “What inspired you to become an artist of Vitality Entertainment?”

“Because of you,” Sumner met her gaze and replied earnestly.

“Because of me?” Perplexed, Lindsey furrowed her brow, seeking clarification.

Sumner explained, “During that party, I witnessed your adept handling of Jayleen.

Your intelligence and kindness stood out.

Your unwavering commitment to protecting your artist resonated with me.

So—”

Lindsey thought she had a grasp on the situation.

Sumner had recently returned from overseas.

Since he aspired to join the entertainment industry and she worked as an agent, it made sense for him to choose her, his friend, as his agent.

Pursing her lips, Lindsey looked into his bright eyes.

“But, if I lose the bet, I’ll have to leave Vitality Entertainment.

”

Sumner nodded, aware of the bet, but never doubted Lindsey’s victory.

He was confident in her abilities, especially considering that his godfather had always admired Selah.

“It doesn’t matter.

I can wait for you.

Whether you win or lose.

I’ll be by your side wherever you go.

”

Touched, Lindsey expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you for your trust, Sumner.

”

After dinner, Sumner escorted Lindsey to her neighborhood.

Before parting ways, Lindsey, embarrassed, apologized, “I’m sorry for troubling you again today, Sumner.

”

Sumner gently poked her forehead, saying, “I’ll be angry if I hear you say that again.

You are my friend.

I’m happy to offer any help.

”
