Chapter 680 I’m Not Going

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

“I…” Linsey paused, unsure. After hearing all that, she didn’t feel right just staying behind at the hotel.

She finally said, “I’ll go back to my room and call Dolores.”

“Of course. Talk it over with her,” Gorman said with a calm nod.

His unexpectedly soft tone made Linsey’s guard ease up, almost without realizing it.

She left the kids in his care and headed back to her room.

Once she was alone, she closed the door and messaged Dolores to ask if she was free for a call.

A moment later, her phone lit up. Dolores was calling.

“Linsey, are you feeling better now?” Dolores asked right away, concern in her voice.

“I’m much better after that nap. Not as tired now,” Linsey replied quietly.

Dolores sighed with relief. “You fell asleep in the car, and we didn’t want to wake you, so we took you back to the hotel. I
