Chapter 465 You Seem Awfully Flustered

Linsey's easygoing smile disappeared in an instant

What were the odds? Of all places, she had to run into Carol here.

Still, she kept her cool, her tone steady and professional. "Miss Lawson, you can rest assured that your design will be completed on time and to the highest standard,"

Beside her, Dolores narrowed her eyes slightly, discreetly assessing Carol.

Years of unspoken understanding had sharpened Dolores' instincts when it came to Linsey. And right now, she could sense the subtle hostility lurking in Carol's gaze.

Without a second thought, Dolores shifted her stance, subtly placing herself in front of Linsey

Linsey wasn't alone anymore. She was expecting, more vulnerable than before. Even the slightest stress or confrontation was something she couldn't afford.

Carol, of course, noticed Dolores' protective gesture. An amused brow lifted as she gave her a fleeting glance- though it was clear she didn't take her seriously. To Carol, Linsey was just an ordinary woman with no real status or powerful connections. And anyone who stood by her side must be just as insignificant

But then, as Carol's gaze drifted over them, something suddenly caught her eye.

Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the shopping bag in Linsey's hand. The logo from a well-known maternity store practically burned into her vision. "Linsey, are you pregnant?" For the first time, Carol's poised demeanor cracked, her voice betraying a rare note of disbelief.
