Chapter 293

Having been in the entertainment circle with Vincent for a considerable time, Paige had encountered various types of women.

Yet, Lindsey stood out-smart, direct, resolute, and modest-a unique combination that struck a chord with Paige.

Paige’s trust in her judgment of people was unwavering.

Sumner was the only one deserving of such a wonderful lady.

Paige wouldn’t allow any other men to snatch Lindsey away.

Witnessing Paige’s determination, Vincent shook his head in helplessness.

He also held Lindsey in high regard but understood that love couldn’t be compelled.

Nevertheless, his wife was resolute; once she set her mind on something, no persuasion could divert her course.

As the afternoon signaled the end of Lindsey’s workday, her phone buzzed persistently.

Amidst her office tasks, she stole a glance at the vibrant screen, breaking into a smile as she recognized the caller.

“Hello,” Lindsey greeted as she picked up the phone, her voice carrying its familiar sweetness to Domenic’s ears.

“You’re almost off duty, right? I’ll pick you up later.

”

Lindsey’s ears flushed red upon hearing his voice.

“Aren’t you busy today? You actually had time to come and pick me up?”

Having shared the same roof with Domenic for an extensive period, she assumed his perpetual busyness, with his early departures and late returns being the norm.

“I’m busy,” Domenic responded in a languid tone, a smile creeping onto his face.

“But my schedule can’t outweigh something as significant as fetching my girlfriend from work.

”

Lindsey erupted into laughter.

“It’s just a trifle.

”

“No, it’s a big deal,” Domenic asserted, his initially lazy tone taking a more serious turn.

“If I don’t fetch you, what if someone else gets there first?”

Momentarily stunned, Lindsey soon realized that today, Domenic might have stumbled upon the trending news about her and Sumner, and the post posted by Vincent…

Softly, she replied, “Even if such a situation arises, I wouldn’t go with anyone else.

I’ll only wait for you.

”

Domenic leaned back against his leather office chair, massaging between his eyebrows.

A day of relentless work had left his mind in disarray.

However, upon hearing Lindsey’s voice through the receiver, he felt an instant surge of rejuvenation.

Springing up swiftly, one hand gripping the phone and the other snatching his coat from the chair, he hastened out.

“Wait for me.

I’ll be right there.

”

As Lindsey completed her tasks, she stole a glance at her watch-it was past closing time.

Anticipating Domenic’s arrival, she swiftly gathered her belongings and dashed out of the company building.

In the embrace of the setting sun, Domenic leaned against the railing outside the building, his gaze fixated on the glowing screen of his phone.

The gentle radiance added a softness to his handsome features.
