Chapter 548
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Observing Xiomaraâs face, Lindsey commented with a smile, âLooks Like youâve lost a lot of weight in the last couple of days.
â
âReally?â Xiomara, feeling her cheeks, was visibly thrilled.
âJust keep it up!â
Having encouraged Xiomara, Lindsey was about to head out when she noticed Sumner leaving the practice room.
He was the final artist to break for lunch, as the rest had already left.
Xiomara tensed up when she saw Sumner, and she peeked behind Lindsey.
âWhat a coincidence, Linds! How about we grab Lunch together?â Sumner stood in front of Lindsey and smiled gently.
Even though Sumner and Lindsey worked at the same company, they typically kept to their tasks and rarely crossed paths.
Of course, Lindsey was careful not to give Sumner any special attention.
Faced with his invitation, there was a noticeable hesitation in her eyes.
Sumner understood Lindseyâs fear of being misinterpreted if seen alone with him, so he glanced at Xiomara standing behind Lindsey.
He reasoned that if he included another person, Lindsey would agree.
With this in mind, Sumner softly said to Xiomara, âYou should come with us.
â
Xiomara pointed to herself in astonishment.
âWhat? Are you talking about me?â
âThere are just three of us left in the company.
Who else could it be but you?â Sumnerâs tender words stirred Xiomaraâs heart, causing it to race.
âLindseyâ¦ââ Xiomaraâs face had an unexplained hint of blush as she glanced at Lindsey.
Detecting something unusual, Lindsey smiled and suggested, âHow about we go together?â
The three of them headed to a restaurant close to the office.
Over lunch, Lindsey discussed Sumnerâs career aspirations.
She intended to have him participate in the talent show, the most effective way for a newcomer to build a reputation.
Sumner listened intently, prepared to follow Lindseyâs guidance.
His goal wasnât fame in the entertainment industry.
Xiomara sat beside them, picking at her food and occasionally casting intentional glances in Sumnerâs direction.
If Sumner happened to catch her gaze, she would quickly avert her eyes and act as if she werenât interested.
Lindsey had a feeling that something was amiss with Xiomara.
A man like Sumner had a knack for winning a girlâs affection.
Out of the blue, a thought popped into Lindseyâs head.
If she could play matchmaker between Sumner and Xiomara, perhaps her mother would reconsider Sumnerâs engagement to herâ¦
After lunch, it was back to business as usual, and the three returned to the company.
