But it was empty, a mere curve of the lips devoid of any real warmth. Her eyes locked onto Linsey as she chuckled lightly. "Linsey, we're partners now. There's no need to be so cautious around me." Linsey pressed her lips together, her brows knitting slightly. Despite Carol's seemingly harmless words, unease in her chest didn't fade.

My focus remains on my work, and nothing will interfere with it." Carol's smile didn't waver, but something in her gaze darkened-just for a fleeting second. Then, as if the moment had never happened, she casually said, "By the way, my birthday party is next Saturday I have someone send an invitation to you at CR Corporation. I hope you'll attend." Before Linsey could react, Carol's gaze flicked to Dolores, her tone cooling, "Since you're still shopping, I won't hold you up." With that, she turned and strode out of the boutique, her entourage of bodyguards moving in perfect sync behind her.

"Collin probably hasn't even met Carol. But there's definitely hostility from her towardI don't know why yet, but I'll handle it carefully." Linsey gave Dolores a reassuring look. Dolores pondered for a moment before shrugging. "She probably dislikes most people on principle. After all, you two never interacted before now."
"Con, let's not waste any more ton her. I'll try on sclothes, and nce I've decided, let's grab something to eat-I'm starving." Linsey shook off the tension and smiled.
Dolores immediately perked up, nodding seriously. "You're eating for two now, so you need plenty of energy. I know the perfect place-trust me, both you and the baby will leave happy!" Linsey chuckled. "Alright, lead the way." Search the website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
