Seeing the deepening crease in Collin's brow, Linsey slowed her chewing, hesitating mid-bite.

"What on earth happened last night? Did I sleep too long? I feel like I missed something," she said, a hint of unease

creeping into her voice.

Collin inhaled sharply, forcing himself to rein in his frustration.

The memory of last night-the way he had almost lost control because of her-only made his irritation spike.

Without another glance in her direction, he turned his wheelchair away, rolling toward the study in silence.

"Forget it. I have work to do," he muttered, his tone clipped.

Linsey blinked, watching his abrupt departure with confusion.

What exactly had happened last night? Had she done something to upset him? He certainly didn't look pleased.

her bag, and left for CR Corporation.

If Collin was upset, maybe she could pick up a small gift after work to lift his mood.
