Chapter 753

 753:
She knew it was because of him that Zenia had made it safely to Grester.
Grateful, she pressed her lips together and said softly, “Thank you for bringing Zenia.”
Gorman smiled. “It was nothing. I’m attending a big banquet tomorrow night. I heard you and Dolores will be there too.”
Linsey asked, puzzled, “A banquet?”
He nodded and took Zander’s hand, motioning for her to bring Zenia over to the sofa.
“It’s hosted by CR Corporation. They’re celebrating the end of this year’s design competition. A lot of important people will be there. Should be a grand night,” Gorman explained.
Linsey gently set Zenia down on the sofa and smoothed her soft hair. She didn’t say much. Her expression stayed calm, as if Gorman’s words meant little to her.
Gorman paused briefly, then said calmly, “Linsey, let’s go together tomorrow night.”
His voice was gentle, his gaze soft and sincere. “Would you do me the honor of being my companion?” he asked, lowering his tone with genuine humility.
There was no pressure in his words, only quiet persistence—like he would accept any cost if she just said yes.
Linsey didn’t respond right away. Her face stayed neutral, but a flicker of emotion passed through her eyes.
“I’m not going. I’d rather stay at the hotel with the kids. If you have to be there, ask someone else.”

However, Gorman only smiled, even more tenderly this time. “No. Whether you go or not, you’ll still be my only choice.”
He picked up his phone, scrolling for a moment before adding with quiet emphasis, “But according to Dolores, since you’re the champion this year, you might have to attend. Skipping it could hurt Davidson Group’s brand partnerships.”
Linsey’s brow furrowed, and her voice sharpened. “Didn’t they say winning would guarantee top promotional resources?”
Gorman let out a light, helpless chuckle. “Linsey, don’t be upset. Let me explain. The promotions are in place—but partnerships still need negotiation. You know how it works. A product won’t succeed on ads alone. It needs the right backing to really take off.”
As he spoke, he calmly sent a message to Dolores.
Then he went on, “Tomorrow’s banquet will be packed with major industry figures and potential investors. If Davidson Group can earn their support, production and sales down the line will go much more smoothly.”
Linsey stayed quiet, her eyebrows still drawn as she wrestled with the decision.
Gorman took note of her hesitation, then gently reassured her, “Don’t worry about a thing tomorrow. I’ll handle everything. I’ll do whatever I can to help Dolores.”
Linsey paused, unsure. After hearing all that, she didn’t feel right just staying behind at the hotel.
