Chapter 517

“Mom, I just ran into Linds at the research center today.

”

An audible gasp sounded from the other end of the line.

“Did she recognize you?”

“No.

After all, so many years have passed.

If she didn’t look like you, and if there weren’t any recent photos of her online, I wouldn’t have recognized her.

” As he spoke, Leonel tinkered with a shiny golden lighter in his hand.

“Oh, and there’s one more thing.

” There was a slight pause in the movement of his hand as he said, “She has a boyfriend.

”

In a hushed pause, Leonel’s smiled as he posed a prediction.

“As a matchmaker, your odds seem doomed to falter.

”

“It’s normal for Linds to have a boyfriend at her age.

But mark my words, when she lays eyes on that gent, a change of heart will dance its way in! However, your timely observation only adds urgency to the matter.

”

Setting down the lighter, Leonel pressed the steering wheel.

“Heading back home yourself soon? Let’s go over this talk when there.

”

With the call ended, Leonel’s car whisked away.

Lindsey’s thoughts were a whirlwind, Leonel’s face occupying her mind relentlessly.

An uncanny sense of familiarity and trust swirled within her, inexplicable yet profound.

Upon her return to the office, she called Xiomara, giving her the boxes of medicine.

“Lindsey, what’s this?” Xiomara’s brow furrowed in puzzlement.

With a soft grin, Lindsey said, “Fresh out of Morcastle’s medical research hub, it’s a specialized potion targeting obesity.

Give it a whirl.

It could just do the trick for you.

”

Eyes widening, Xiomara gasped, “Lindsey, you… You did this for me…”

“It’s merely happenstance.

” Lindsey casually flipped through her desk documents.

Desiring not to elevate the gesture and burden Xiomara with a sense of indebtedness, Lindsey was caught off guard seeing Xiomara’s tears falling on her desk in consecutive circles.

Lifting her gaze, Lindsey met Xiomara’s teary eyes.

Lindsey desired to give Xiomara comfort.

After wiping away her tears, Xiomara looked at Lindsey.

“Thank you, Lindsey.

I… I’ll find a way to repay you.

”

“Don’t be so dramatic!”

As Lindsey forced a nonchalant smile, Xiomara dashed out of the office, leaving Lindsey shaking her head in bemusement.

As Xiomara exited, a knock rapped on Lindsey’s office door.

Her assistant informed her of a visitor claiming to be the representative of the global fashion show.

Lindsey, hearing that, got up swiftly and walked out to welcome the esteemed guest.

The representative conveyed his proposal-inviting Lindsey and Selah to the fashion show.

Flattered, Lindsey accepted the invitation.
