Chapter 473
473:
Collin pried her hand away, his tone calm.
“Relax. It’s just us here. No need to act so shy.”
He leaned back slightly, watching her.
“But seriously. We’ve been getting plenty of rest. So why are you this drained today?”
Linsey had no answer. No matter how she tried to brush it off, the exhaustion clung to her, heavy and unshakable.
As she sat there, trying to make sense of it, Collin suddenly straightened up, his expression serious.
“Looks like we might have to have sex.”
Her palm met his cheek in a light but decisive slap—not hard, just enough to shut him up.
“That’s it. I’m done talking to you.”
She tossed the covers aside and slid out of bed.
“I’m going to freshen up.”
Without sparing him another glance, she made her way to the bathroom.
Collin got up too, stretching lazily before following.
“Don’t forget—the Lawson family banquet is tonight. I’ll pick you up after work.”
He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching as she turned on the faucet.
Linsey shook her head. “No need. The driver will take me there. If you come to get me, you’ll be going out of your way. It’s not necessary.”
Collin considered her words for a moment but didn’t argue. If he got there first, he might have time to put together a little surprise for her.

Even after arriving at the office, Linsey still felt sluggish. The grogginess clung to her, making it hard to focus.
As soon as she settled at her desk, a designer knocked on the door before stepping inside.
“Linsey, I’m here for the design drafts you reviewed,” the designer said.
Pushing past her fatigue, Linsey reached for the stack of papers from yesterday and handed them over. “I’ve made some revisions. Have your team meet today to go over them. If everything checks out, you can proceed with production.”
“Got it. Thanks for your hard work, Linsey.” The designer turned to leave but hesitated. Her eyes flickered over Linsey’s pale face. “Are you feeling okay? You don’t look great.”
She let out a small, tired laugh. “So, you noticed? I’ve been off all morning. Woke up feeling dizzy.”
“Really?” The concern on the designer’s face deepened. “Did you eat anything?”
Linsey nodded. “Just some bread.”
The designer’s face brightened with realization. “That’s probably it. Sounds like low blood sugar. You didn’t eat enough.”
Linsey frowned slightly. “You think so?”
The idea hadn’t crossed her mind, but as she explained, it did seem possible.
The designer’s eyes lit up. “Hold on. I’ve got some chocolate in my desk. You’ll need a little boost to get through the morning.”
