Chapter 26 Linsey Is

Fearless

Linsey's gaze locked with Cynthia's, her expression steady and calm. Then, without warning, Linsey leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "Yes. I spilled the coffee on purpose."

Cynthia's face flushed with fury, her eyes narrowing at Linsey. But before she could retort, Linsey's next words froze her in

place.

"I'm here to work and make a living. If you keep interfering, next time, it won't just be coffee."

Linsey's eyes never wavered as she scrutinized Cynthia's face, as though searching for her next target.

"You're pretty, you know. Pity if something... happened to that face."

Cynthia's body stiffened in terror, her breath catching. Just as she braced herself, Linsey released her, and Cynthia, panic

overtaking her, instinctively shielded her face with her hands, terrified Linsey might strike.

If Linsey had any intention of making Cynthia regret her actions, Cynthia certainly had her own ways of dealing with it.

But one thing was clear-she couldn't afford to ruin her face.

Anger simmered beneath the surface, but Cynthia kept it in check, unwilling to escalate things further. After a tense

moment, she stamped her foot in frustration and stormed off, her exit as dramatic as it was quick.
