Chapter 681

Lindsey returned the smile to the secretary, who couldn’t help but glance up at Lindsey in front of her.

Lindsey’s eyes sparkled and her face exuded a natural charm.

It wasn’t an assertive beauty, but the kind that made people feel genuinely at ease.

Lindsey was the woman the CEO wished to meet privately.

The secretary couldn’t help but wonder about the connection between Lindsey and her boss.

Nonetheless, the secretary thought she had to be more respectful to Lindsey.

“Miss Stewart, you’re most welcome.

It’s my duty.

I’m right outside.

If you need anything, don’t hesitate to give me a shout.

”

“Okay, thank you.

” Lindsey replied with gratitude.

Once the CEO’s secretary departed, Lindsey experienced a slight relief, though her inner tension persisted.

She pondered how to broach the subject of Cherish with the CEO during their upcoming meeting.

At the same time, Emilio burst into Domenic’s office.

Domenic was engrossed in a phone call when Emilio barged in without bothering to knock, earning a furrowed brow from Domenic.

Despite everything, Emilio slammed his hand on Domenic’s desk and fixed him with wide-open eyes.

“Domenic, do you genuinely want to meet Lindsey?”

Domenic gave Emilio a quick look and told the person on the other end of the line, “I’ll have to end this call now.

”

After ending the call, Domenic settled into his chair, regarding Emilio with a composed demeanor.

“What’s got you so taken aback?”

Emilio sensed that he was even more anxious than Domenic.

“Weren’t you planning to keep your identity a secret from her? What? You’re not up for pretending anymore? Are you planning to break up with her?”

Emilio understood that Domenic’s decision to keep his identity hidden wasn’t just for his sake but also to safeguard Lindsey.

Once Domenic’s true identity was revealed, the future became uncertain.

If Jordan discovered that an unknown woman had been bothering his grandson, he might use drastic measures to remove Lindsey from the picture.

Unless Domenic had grown tired of Lindsey and had no intention of taking responsibility.

Otherwise, Emilio couldn’t fathom his decision.

Turning his gaze to Emilio, Domenic’s eyes narrowed, and he flashed a mysterious smile.

With nervous anticipation, Lindsey waited approximately thirty minutes until the reception room’s door swung open unexpectedly.

The CEO’s secretary stood beside a man, respectfully guiding the way.

Lindsey noticed a formidable figure entering the room.

Lindsey stood from her seat suddenly, her eyes widening in surprise.

“You are… You are Mr.

Walsh?”

Lindsey observed the man who entered closely.

He wore a fancy suit, and his every move exuded the sophistication of a seasoned businessman.

Yet, he appeared slightly different from Lindsey’s expectations.

Suppressing any premature assumptions, Lindsey reminded herself to approach with humility and respect.

Acknowledging Lindsey’s presence with a subtle nod and a faint smile, the man settled into a chair, crossing his legs and intertwining his fingers on his knees.

“Miss Lindsey Stewart, isn’t it? What brings you here to see me?”
