Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 80

Chapter 80 You Still Haven't Saved My Number

Linsey was utterly absorbed in her work, oblivious to the fading day outside her office window. One by one, her colleagues had drifted away, their desks now empty echoes around her. She remained anchored in her chair, her focus unbroken.

As dusk settled into darkness, her phone vibrated sharply against the desk.

Linsey, still locked onto her computer screen, reached out instinctively and snagged the phone. She answered without a glance. "Hello, who is this?"

A pause hung on the other end, charged with an unspoken tension before a voice broke through. "You still haven't saved my number?"

The unexpected chill in the voice jolted Linsey from her trance.

She blinked, her heart skipping a beat as she recognized the caller.

"Oh, it's you, Collin," she said with a relieved laugh, her eyes darting to the caller ID. "Of course, I've saved it. I just didn't look at the screen when I picked up."

Collin's tone warmed slightly, a softening shadow in his words. "Where are you now?"

His question was a sharp reminder, a prick of guilt. She was meant to be with him at the Riley family's birthday celebration tonight.

Linsey mentally berated herself for overlooking such a significant event.

"I'm so sorry, Collin! I've been buried under work all day and completely forgot," she admitted, her movements hurried as she began to pack her things and shut down her computer.

Collin, hearing the slight commotion through the phone, couldn't help but picture Linsey's flustered expression, a knowing smile curving his lips. He assured her in a warm, even tone, "No worries. Just tell me where you are, and I'll have someone pick you up right away."
