Novel1Chapter 55 Chapter 55 She'd Only Be A Mistress On her way back to the office, Linsey was preoccupied with thoughts of her recent encounter with Collin. Her cheeks still felt hot, and it took a considerable tfor the warmth to fade.
Annoyed, she held the cool back of her hand against her face.
"Why did I even think Collin was about to kiss me? How embarrassing!" she mused.
Yet, she couldn't help but think it was Collin's fault for being so misleading.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow that she wasn't near him, Linsey found it easier to fault Collin for her misplaced thoughts.
She was convinced Collin had been trying to seduce her. Didn't he understand his own striking attractiveness? After sself-reassurance, Linsey managed to settle her nerves.
Previously, she had been with Felix for five years and never experienced such a spontaneous attraction. Clearly, Collin's charm surpassed Felix's! Once, she harbored feelings for Felix, but now, seeing his true nature, she recognized he lacked any redeeming traits.
Indeed, Collin was a far superior choice.
Her thoughts wandered briefly, but she soon regained her professional demeanor upon arriving at the office. Entering the office, Linsey noted the absence of several colleagues from their usual places.
She discovered why as she walked past the break room.
The first voice she heard was Cynthia's. "I just saw Linsey step into a luxury car earlier. That must be the guy who picked her up, right? And calling him her husband? Con, that's clearly just to disguise that he's her sugar daddy." Another colleague sounded unsure. "No way! Is Linsey really being supported by someone? You never can tell, can you?" Linsey recognized the voice as belonging to a colleague who had recently becCynthia's devoted follower after receiving an expensive gift from her.
A few other coworkers were also there, whispering about Linsey.
Without hesitation, Linsey quietly activated the recordingon her phone.
"I didn't see that coming either." "But perhaps he really is her husband. Linsey is quite attractive-she could easily end up with a wealthy man." Cynthia sneered, "It's one thing to marry rich, but marrying sdubious old man would be laughable." 0.0% 15:33 Chapter 55 She'd Only Be A Mistress After a brief pause, Cynthia declared with certainty, "I still say he's probably just her sugar daddy. Linsey doesn't have the connections or the background. What well-to-do young man in town would take a woman like her seriously? At best, she'd only be a mistress. I've noticed many women like her in high society, those more interested in money and status than anything else." "Wow, that's the reality, huh?" "Cynthia's correct. Why would any affluent man take interest in someone like her? Only someone of Cynthia's stature, a true rich girl, would fit into a prestigious family."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCynthia smirked. "I figured Linsey wasn't anything special from then start. Looks like was right. Honestly, n it wouldn't shock if she clinched the top spot in the last interview by seducing her patron." Linsey had heard enough. As the insults intensified, she barged into the break room, startling everyone inside.
"Have you all had enough?" Linsey's icy look swept across the room, settling on Cynthia.
The others, taken aback, quickly averted their eyes. They hadn't m anticipated that Linsey would catch them gossiping about her.
One colleague attempted to feign innocence. "Linsey, what's this about? We were just engaging in a light conversation." "A light conversation?" Linsey held up her phone and played back the recording. The room's atmosphere shifted instantly
as faces filled with alarm. "Is that clear enough? I'd be glad to forward this to the authorities and have them take a listen. They can sort out the legal ramifications of slander and defamation."
