Chapter 783
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Just as she was about to send it, Nancy peered over.
âWhoâs got you so focused? Iâve been trying to get your attention.
â
Lindsey showed her the phone screen, and Nancy exclaimed, reading the name, âCarole Larson⦠the judge from Star Search?â
Lindsey nodded in agreement.
âYeah, but weâre not really close; weâve only had a brief chat or two.
â
Nancy let out a huff, âNot close, and she still invites you? Sounds like sheâs just trying to show off, probably married into money.
â
Lindsey offered a different perspective.
âI wouldnât say that about her.
Sheâs always seemed fair and straightforward in her opinions in the show.
Plus, sheâs related to Domenic, even if itâs just as a distant relative.
Though, it doesnât seem like he is all that close to her either.
â
Nancy, unimpressed, pulled her towards a womenâs clothing store.
âLetâs get you something fabulous to wear.
Youâre going to be the highlight of that engagement party!â
Lindsey was bewildered by Nancyâs leap in logic.
âThereâs no need to go overboard; itâs her day, not mine.
I shouldnât steal the spotlight.
â
âYouâre missing the point! Sheâs related to Domenic; his family will be there.
Even if they donât know you now, you and Domenic are bound to be seen together sooner or later.
You have to leave a good impression on them.
Imagine if someone remembers you looking less than your best?â
Nancyâs argument made Lindsey reconsider.
She didnât want to embarrass herself in front of Domenicâs family.
Seeing the sense in Nancyâs argument, Lindsey relented.
âAlright, letâs check it out.
â
The array of clothing in the womenâs section was daunting to Lindsey, but Nancy moved through the racks with ease, picking out clothes with a keen eye.
âLook at this one, itâs perfect⦠Hmm⦠This one would really bring out your skin tone⦠And you have to try this one, itâll show off your shape beautifully!â
After trying on many outfits, Lindsey was exhausted, while Nancy, full of energy, held a bunch of clothes without any sign of fatigue.
Lindsey checked her phone.
There were no new messages.
Nancy noticed Lindseyâs focus on her phone and said, âDidnât we agree to take a break for half the day? Forget about work.
We can talk about it tomorrow.
â
Lindsey let out a sigh.
âThe production team suddenly apologized.
I wanted to thank Mr.
Howard from Vitality Entertainment.
I tried to see him at his office, but he wasnât there, and he hasnât responded to my texts.
â
Nancy put her arm around Lindseyâs shoulder and said, âOur company is working with Vitality Entertainment right now.
It makes sense for him to help us.
Plus, heâs the head of a big company.
This is probably no big deal for him.
Youâve done your part by sending the message.
Heâll get it eventually.
Maybe heâs just too busy to get back to you right now.
Donât worry about it too much.
â
Lindsey thought about it and felt better right away.
In the executive office of the Vitality Group, Emilio built up his courage for a moment before knocking softly on the door and walking in.
The office was large, with big windows, and Domenic was standing by the window, looking out.
Emilio moved closer, slowly.
He had sent in his resignation a few days ago but hadnât heard back.
He had been feeling sorry for himself at home until Domenic personally called him to the office today.
Emilio stopped a short distance from Domenic and looked down, feeling nervous.
Then, he straightened up and asked, âWhatâs the decision about my resignation?â
Domenic turned to look at him.
After a tense ten seconds, Emilio was on edge.
âI know whatâs going on,â Domenic finally said, making Emilio shiver.
