Chapter 292

Selah, clearly embarrassed, apologized, “I’m so sorry, Elaine is…

I might have spoiled her too much.

”

Lindsey shook her head reassuringly, “It’s fine, Selah.

Don’t worry about it.

”

Lindsey then waved at Elaine with a kind smile.

“Elaine, I’m not here to harm.

Please don’t misunderstand.

I’ll be off now.

Next time, I’ll bring you some tasty treats and toys, okay?”

Tucked in Selah’s embrace, Elaine sniffled and sneaked a peek at Lindsey with her big eyes.

Lindsey offered a smile and made her exit, gently closing the door behind her.

Once outside Selah’s apartment, Lindsey planned to discuss her situation with Sumner with Vincent.

Arriving at Vincent’s company, Lindsey was halted by the receptionist.

“Apologies, Miss Stewart.

Vincent has decided not to meet you and Miss Potter before the public audition to avoid any suspicion.

”

“And Jayleen and Kristy?” inquired Lindsey.

The receptionist replied, “He’s not meeting them either.

”

Lindsey got the point.

Vincent’s decision to avoid contact was to ensure a transparent and fair audition process, preventing any hot topic for public gossip or controversy.

Understandable as it was, Lindsey still pondered her situation with Sumner…

After a moment’s thought, Lindsey dialed Vincent’s number.

Soon, Vincent answered.

“Hi, Lindsey.

What’s going on?”

“Mr.

Lopez, I saw your post.

No worries, Selah will surely ace the audition in a week.

”

“I have faith in her, that’s why I made this choice.

As long as you understand,” Vincent responded warmly yet earnestly.

“Well… Lindsey inhaled deeply, then spoke up, “Actually, Sumner and I…

Vincent interjected, “Oh, that was just my take on Twitter.

You’re adults; make your own choices.

I don’t interfere.

But Lindsey, you’re young and new to the workforce.

Be cautious; don’t be swayed easily by sweet talk.

Choosing a partner is a life-altering decision.

Be sensible.

I can’t speak for others, but I’ve seen Sumner grow.

He’s intelligent, kind-hearted, passionate, and genuine.

Much like you, he’s one of the good ones.

”

“Got it.

Thanks for the advice.

” With that, Lindsey ended the call.

She exhaled, feeling relieved yet pressured.

It seemed even Vincent, like many elders, was keen on playing matchmaker.

Meanwhile, Vincent pocketed his phone.

Paige approached, inquiring, “How did it go? What did Lindsey say?”

Vincent sighed as he observed Paige’s anxious expression.

“Sumner has fallen into an unrequited love with Lindsey.

”

Paige, unreconciled, retorted, “I don’t believe Lindsey could find a better match than Sumner.

I’m certain she’ll be his girlfriend.

I won’t easily give her to anyone else.

”
