NovelMegaChapter 338 Chapter 338 I'm Your Client Now Linsey's voice was crisp and unwavering. "Gorman, let's be clear-we never had a relationship to begin with, so let's not pretend otherwise. If anything, I'd appreciate it if you stop pestering me." Her firm rejection hit Gorman like a blow.
Back in that quiet fishing village abroad, she hadn't been this distant.....
It hadn't been that long, yet now she looked at him as if he were nothing more than a stranger-maybe even an enemy. Did she have any idea how much he had endured just to find her? How many obstacles he had fought through over the years just to stand in front of her again? Gorman let out a slow smirk, though his eyes remained unreadable. "No relationship, huh?" He turned the words over in his mind, letting the cold edge of them sink in.
"How can you say we have no relationship?" Gorman's gaze held hers, steady and unrelenting. "Like it or not, I'm your client now. Before I even stepped into this office, I signed a contract with your company-one that guarantees I get a designer I'm completely satisfied with." His eyes never left her face. "And the only designer who meets my standards... is you, Linsey. Are you really going to back out now?" Linsey's stomach twisted. CR Corporation had strict policies on client assignments-backing out wasn't an option. And Gorman wasn't someone she could simply pass off to a colleague.

No matter what Gorman wanted, Linsey had no intention of showing him an ounce of kindness.
Suddenly, he pushed himself up from the chair, closing the distance between them in just a few strides.
"What do I want? What could I possibly want?" His laugh was low, almost amused. "Naturally, there are a few things I need to discuss with you." Linsey's body tensed. Instinctively, she stepped back, her expression guarded. "If it's about the design, I'll hear you out. But if it's anything beyond that, don't waste your breath." As she moved, her fingers slipped into her handbag, ready to defend herself if necessary.
Gorman's eyes flickered. He had caught every movement.
If he wanted to, subduing her would be effortless.
But Gorman had no interest in forcing Linsey's hand. 0.0% 14:41 < Chapter 338 Tm Your Client Now What he wanted was for her to fall for him willingly.
Resorting to force had never been his style.
So, he stopped, his tone softening. "Relax. I'm only here to discuss the design." His gaze swept over the office before he added casually, "But this isn't exactly an ideal place for a conversation. Why don't we go somewhere else?" Linsey hesitated. She didn't like the idea, but leaving with him was better than letting him linger in her office any longer. "Fine. We can go out, but I'm choosing the place." Gorman didn't hesitate. "No problem." He counted it as their first official date, and he was more than happy to let Linsey take the lead.
For now, they had a temporary truce.

Linsey quickly pulled out her phone, booked a table at a nearby café, then then gestured for Gormax to follow. As N they stepped out of her office, the workspace buzzed with colleagues engrossed in their tasks.
Keeping a low profile, Linsey led him down a quieter corridor, sticking close to the wall to avoid running into anyone she knew.
Her overly cautious behavior brought a smirk to Gorman's lips.
Was he really that much of a walking scandal? Still, watching this side of Linsey-so careful, so intent on avoiding attention-was oddly amusing.
What surprised her most was how cooperative he was. No teasing, mo unnecessary comments. Just silence as he followed her lead Finally, she stopped in front of a rarely used elevator.
Taking this route would drop them off directly in the underground parking lot, letting them leave unnoticed.
She was still running through the plan in her head when the elevator doors slid open-Dustin stepped out.
