Chapter 1001
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Staring at the gentle smile on Lindseyâs face, Nancy could sense the deep sadness in her eyes.
âLinds, I truly admire you.â Realizing that Lindsey decided to move on, Nancy felt relieved and sat down in the chair opposite her.
âIf it were me, I donât think Iâd be able to get over it for a long time.â
Nancy couldnât help but recall everything that had happened between her and Mercer.
She knew all too well how long it could take to heal from such wounds, and sometimes, recovery might never come.
âIâm not as forgiving as you think.â Lindsey gently fiddled with the pen on her desk, lowered her eyes, and said, âIf I ever have to face Vitality Group again, I wonât let Domenic off easily.â
âExactly!â Nancy suddenly banged on the desk, startling Lindsey.
âThatâs the Lindsey I know! We donât look for trouble, but we donât back down from it either.
If you get the chance to fight back, you canât go easy on him.
Iâd feel sorry for you if you didnât take down that awful man!â
Lindsey giggled at Nancyâs enthusiasm.
âAlright, when our company grows bigger and stronger, weâll be unstoppable.â
âAbsolutely! Weâll be awesome!â Nancy Laughed along with her.
Lindseyâs sadness quickly faded, replaced by happiness.
Having such a good friend by her side made her feel truly content.
âBy the way, youâve been handling all the companyâs affairs and you havenât even had a weekend off.
Now that Iâm back, let me take over.
Take a few days off and get some rest.â Lindsey gazed at her with a soft expression.
Nancy stretched and remarked, âWell, at least youâve got a conscience.
But the final filming for Star Search is coming up in a few days.
Iâll take a break after itâs done.â
There was a hint of discomfort in Nancyâs expression when she said the words.
But she quickly regained her composure.
âOh, by the way, Linds, what about Sumner? We canât keep his disability a secret during the filming.â
Lindseyâs expression turned serious.
âWe shouldnât keep it a secret.
Contact the media today and schedule a press conference to announce â¦â
Nancy was taken aback.
âAre you sure about this?â
Lindsey nodded decisively.
âSumner will be part of the last episode for Star Search, so the public needs to know about this.â
âHe reallyâ¦â Nancy was pleasantly surprised by Sumnerâs determination.
Her worries melted away, replaced by excitement.
âCount me in for whatever you need.
Weâll announce it at the press conference before the filming.
Not only will it grab attention and make headlines, but it will also portray him as resilient, earning the audienceâs sympathy.
At that time, itâs even possible for him to win the championship!â
Lindsey gazed at Nancy with a relieved grin, then said with determination, âAs his agent, Iâll make sure he reaches the top.â
âMeanwhile, Xiomara can boost her reputation too.
As long as we do it well, itâll be a great chance!â Nancy exclaimed, âOh, and guess what? The crew of the program just sent me the guest and judge list.
This time, the lineup is stellar, and itâs sure to smash all previous audience rating records! Iâve sent the list to your phone, check it out.â
Lindsey pulled out her phone and tapped on the message Nancy sent.
The names of Mercer and Nicolas were written on the list.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, these two have never shared a stage before, have they? It was quite a rarity for these two big-name stars to appear together on the same show.
Looks like the showâs producer went all out this time.â
âYou are rightâ¦â Hearing Mercerâs name sent Nancyâs heart into a flurry, her gaze falling to the ground.
Since their last encounter, she hadnât laid eyes on him.
Gratitude welled up inside her, yet her pride stopped her from sending a simple message.
She had no idea what Mercer was up to, and he had vanished without a trace after that day.
Nancyâs frustration grew.
He vanished after their intimate encounter, showing the same irresponsibility as before!
Nancy refused to take a few days off not only because she wanted to assist Lindsey, but also because Mercer would be on the show as a guest.
She just found a convenient excuse for herself to meet him.
âNance, you and Mr.
Aston, youâ¦â Seeing the discomfort on Nancyâs face and recalling her history with Mercer, Lindsey couldnât resist asking.
