Chapter 885

She reached out, touching the chilling emptiness next to her.

Was

Domenic really not coming back? Was he about to end things with her?

Lindsey had considered many outcomes when she made her decision.

She respected Domenic’s choices, yet she held onto hope that it wasn’t all over, that he would eventually understand her.

To her, nothing mattered more than being together.

However, she knew she couldn’t be selfish.

Domenic had his own life, his ambitions, and the future he envisioned.

Why should he abandon that for her? If he chose to leave, she would force a smile and wish him happiness…

Despite only a few hours of sleep, Lindsey wasn’t tired.

A deep sadness hung over her like a dense fog, enveloping her heart.

She clasped her chest, trying to quell the ache.

It was only then she noticed tears had soaked her covers, the damp stains spreading out in a cruel mimicry of her efforts to seem carefree.

The harder she tried to appear unbothered, the more broken she felt.

The more she thought about him, the deeper the pain.

Lindsey felt she needed to keep busy to distract herself from her pain.

She got up, dressed slowly, and then applied light makeup in front of the mirror.

Giving herself a brave smile in the mirror, she grabbed her purse and left.

However, as soon as she turned away, her smile vanished, leaving her eyes reflecting nothing but emptiness.

When Lindsey reached her office, it was still early, and only Juliet

White from the publicity department was there.

It had been a while since Lindsey’s last day at work, so she cheerfully called out to her colleague.

“Juliet.

”

Juliet, who was organizing papers on her desk, jumped at Lindsey’s unexpected voice.

When she looked up, she saw Lindsey’s pale face and the dark circles under her eyes.

“Lindsey?” Juliet was taken aback, as if Lindsey had just returned from some ordeal.

“Why are you looking at me like I’m a ghost?” Lindsey tried to smile, but to Juliet, it only made her look more ghastly.

“Lindsey, you haven’t been to the company for a few days.

Are you okay?” Juliet asked tentatively.

“I’m fine,” Lindsey replied in a gentle voice.

She glanced around the office and asked casually, “Is everything okay here?”

Juliet sighed and said, “Not at all.

”

Startled, Lindsey turned to Juliet and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Juliet had just graduated from university and was quite simple and straightforward.

She spilled everything that had happened recently.

“In the past few days, the partners who worked with us suddenly wanted to end their contracts! Everyone panicked when they heard the news.

They’re afraid they might lose their jobs if the company goes under one day.

” Suddenly, Juliet realized what she had said and covered her mouth.

She looked up at Lindsey timidly.
