Chapter 702

The following day, when Lindsey arrived at the company, she nearly collided with Sumner as she walked in.

“Sumner, you are quite early today.

” Lindsey stepped back, eyeing him curiously.

Sumner gazed at her, itching to say something.

After a few seconds, he smiled and said, “I got up early, so here I am.

Lindsey, how was your night? Did you sleep well?”

“Yes.

” Lindsey’s gaze was puzzled.

“Is something the matter?”

“Were you with your boyfriend last night?”

“No, he had a lot on his plate and had to put in some extra hours at work.

” Lindsey continued walking as she spoke.

Sumner felt a heavy disappointment.

Just as he suspected, Domenic had fabricated an excuse to mislead Lindsey.

He had been with another woman last night but told Lindsey he was busy with work.

And he had claimed she was just a friend.

Fuming over this, Sumner impulsively moved forward and grabbed Lindsey’s wrist.

“What’s wrong, Sumner?” Lindsey glanced back at him, lifting her arm.

Sumner caught on and quickly released her wrist, clearing his throat.

“Well… My godmother was asking about you.

She wants to know if you’re free for dinner tonight.

Can you make it?”

Lindsey paused, recalling how Paige’s last invite to the hot spring resort was actually a sneaky plan to pair her up with Sumner.

With a slight frown, she replied, “Sorry, Sumner, I’ve already got plans tonight.

”

“Is it with your boyfriend?” Sumner blurted out, a hint of worry in his voice.

“No, not really…” Lindsey lied, noticing Sumner’s furrowed brow.

She tilted her head and asked, “Sumner, why do you keep bringing up my boyfriend today?”

“Just curious,” Sumner replied, eyes darting away.

“That’s it? I should head in.

” Lindsey gave him a small smile, then walked into her office and shut the door, leaving Sumner standing there, looking troubled.

At 2 p.

m.

, Lindsey summoned Xiomara and Sumner to her office.

“What’s up, Lindsey?” Xiomara asked, standing across from her.

Sumner, silent, just frowned.

Lindsey observed the attractive pair in front of her and smiled.

“You two have been training for a while now.

I’m thinking of putting you on the talent show, Star Search.

It’s your chance to shine.

”

“Star Search?” Xiomara’s eyes lit up, hands pressed to her chest.
