Chapter 714
714:
“Yes, boss,” Caylee responded immediately.
Gorman was currently abroad taking care of Zenia, which meant he couldn’t be there for Linsey himself.
She must protect Linsey and keep her far from Collin until he returned.
Just then, Linsey’s phone rang. It was Dolores. “Linsey, are you and Zander almost at my office?” her voice came cheerfully through the speaker.
Linsey offered a faint smile. “Almost there. There was a small incident on the way, so we’re running a little late.”
“A small incident? Are you okay? Was anyone hurt?” Dolores asked, her tone shifting with concern.
“We’re fine. I’ll tell you everything when we see each other,” Linsey said softly, her gaze falling as her mind flashed back to the moment she saw Collin outside the car. She wasn’t ready to talk about it—not yet.
“Alright. I just finished a client meeting at a nearby restaurant. You can come here directly. It has a kid’s play area upstairs, so Caylee can watch Zander while we talk,” Dolores replied.
“Okay. Send me the location—we’re on our way,” Linsey said.
They soon arrived at the restaurant.
A waiter led them to Dolores’ private dining room.
Since they had already eaten, Dolores didn’t order much—just a few glasses of juice.
After a few quiet minutes, Dolores turned to Caylee. “The second floor has a play area. Why don’t you take Zander up for a bit? I need to go over the competition details with Linsey.”
Caylee nodded. “Ms. Brooks, call me if you need anything.”
Linsey leaned in and whispered, “Don’t let Zander out of your sight.”

“I won’t,” Caylee replied.
She left with Zander, leaving the room quiet.
Dolores studied Linsey carefully. “You seem off today. What happened earlier?”
Linsey let out a gentle sigh, her eyes clouded. “I saw Collin on the way here.”
Dolores’s eyes widened in shock. “How on earth did you bump into Collin on your very first day back?”
She paused for a beat, then asked, “Did he see Zander? What was his reaction?”
Zander and Collin looked so alike.
Collin wasn’t clueless. If he saw Zander, he would know right away that Zander was his child.
Linsey shook her head, her face serious. “No. We were still in the car when he stepped out of his. He didn’t see us.”
Dolores quickly caught on. “Did your cars collide?”
Linsey nodded. “Yeah. My driver said some things he shouldn’t have. It made Collin suspicious. He even tried to look inside my car. But he got a call and left. He didn’t even ask for compensation.”
