Chapter 66 Mrs. Riley, What Brings You Here

Outside the door, there was a tense pause before the cautious tone of Collin's subordinate pierced the silence. "Mr. Riley,

there's a pressing matter I need to discuss with you."

The subordinate couldn't shake the feeling, his thoughts racing. Was Mr. Riley out of sorts because of the long hours? Why

did his voice seem so strained?

On the other side of the door, Linsey's cheeks burned with embarrassment.

The study was Collin's sanctuary, a place where he immersed himself in his work, and she had just interrupted him.

The realization that she had possibly hindered his tasks made her stomach twist with regret.

she stammered, her words faltering under the weight of her unease.

The subordinate, still waiting outside, jumped as the door suddenly swung open. He stood frozen, momentarily caught off guard, not expecting that his boss would open the door for him.
