Chapter 870

Lindsey shot a skeptical glance in the direction Domenic had disappeared, then nodded gently.

“Alright.

I’ll push you back, and you can take your medicine.

”

Domenic had just returned from abroad, setting aside his work to make time for Lindsey amidst his busy schedule.

The frustrating encounter earlier wasn’t what he had anticipated.

His frustration simmered as he stormed back to the company, bursting into the conference room.

The room was filled with people waiting for Domenic to start the morning meeting.

The lively discussion that had filled the air came to an abrupt halt the moment Domenic entered, feeling the tension he brought with him.

They all glanced at each other with uneasy looks.

Throughout the meeting, Domenic’s expression remained stern and unreadable.

No one dared to speak out of turn or even breathe too loudly.

Domenic’s irritation only grew in the stifling silence.

Slapping documents onto the table, he rubbed his temples wearily.

“Are we lacking ideas here? Did Vitality Group hire a bunch of slackers?” he snapped impatiently.

No one dared to challenge him, until Emilio tentatively spoke up.

I have an idea…”

After Emilio laid out his plan, Domenic didn’t even bother to open his eyes.

Emilio instantly regretted speaking up, feeling like he’d just painted a target on his back.

This plan was more of a concept, a last-resort idea he blurted out in the heat of the moment.

Sure enough, Domenic’s response was like a punch to the gut.

“Emilio, are you fresh off the intern boat? Do you honestly think this is doable? Have you even looked at the budget? Do you know anything about our competitors? This isn’t child’s play, man!”

Emilio was used to Domenic’s sharp tongue, but being scolded in front of everyone still stung.

Watching Domenic’s agitation, Emilio couldn’t help but recall the last time he’d lost his cool, storming out of a meeting.

Back then, it was all because of rumors about Lindsey and Sumner going to a hot spring resort together.

But today seemed even more intense.

As Domenic’s words hung heavy in the air, no one dared to speak up.

The tension in the room was palpable.

Domenic had been back for a while now.

Lindsey couldn’t keep using work as an excuse to stay away from home.

And truth be told, she missed him.

So she completed the discharge formalities around noon on that day.

Bringing lunch for Sumner, Lindsey returned to find Paige already there.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lindsey set the food down and met Sumner’s gaze.

“Are you leaving me already?” Sumner asked with a hint of sadness.

Paige, always the tease, looked at the two and chimed in, “Oh, Sumner, are you afraid to let her go? Lindsey’s been running around for you non-stop.

She is worn out already! I practically had to twist her arm to get her to leave today.

It’s time to cut the cord!”

Lindsey didn’t respond to Paige’s teasing, just offering a small smile.

Sumner also felt that he had been relying on Lindsey too much these days.

He pressed his lips with embarrassment and said, “Well, go back and get some good rest.

”

Seeing Sumner’s mood, Lindsey sat beside him with a gentle smile.

“I have to get back to work; I can’t leave Nancy drowning in paperwork.

ALL you need to do is focus on healing.

But don’t worry, I’ll keep my promise.

I’ll swing by whenever I can.

”

They both knew quite well what the promise involved.

With a nod of understanding, Sumner said, “Go handle your own business.

I’m not a concern.

I’ll do my recovery exercises.

Simply drop by once in a while when you have some free time.

”

Lindsey offered a few more words of comfort before saying goodbye to Paige.
