Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 You Still Haven’t Saved My Number

Linsey was utterly absorbed in her work, oblivious to the fading day outside her office window. One by one, her colleagues had drifted away, their desks now empty echoes around her. She remained anchored in her chair, her focus unbroken.

As dusk settled into darkness, her phone vibrated sharply against the desk.

Linsey, still locked onto her computer screen, reached out instinctively and snagged the phone. She answered without a glance. “Hello, who is this?”

A pause hung on the other end, charged with an unspoken tension before a voice broke through. “You still haven’t saved my number?”

The unexpected chill in the voice jolted Linsey from her trance.

She blinked, her heart skipping a beat as she recognized the caller.

“Oh, it’s you, Collin,” she said with a relieved laugh, her eyes darting to the caller ID. “Of course, I’ve saved it. I just didn’t look at the screen when I picked up.”

Collin’s tone warmed slightly, a softening shadow in his words. “Where are you now?”

His question was a sharp reminder, a prick of guilt. She was meant to be with him at the Riley family’s birthday celebration tonight.

Linsey mentally berated herself for overlooking such a significant event.

“I’m so sorry, Collin! I’ve been buried under work all day and completely forgot,” she admitted, her movements hurried as she began to pack her things and shut down her computer.

There was a brief pause before he added gently, “No rush. We have plenty of time.”

His calm assurance seemed to wash over her, soothing her nerves. She responded, her voice now steadier, “Let’s meet at the café we met last time. It’s a hassle to find parking near the office.”

“Sure.”

Once the call ended, Linsey quickly grabbed her bag and rushed to the café just around the corner.

Soon enough, a sleek car pulled up. She slid into the passenger seat, only to be greeted by a familiar face behind the wheel. Puzzled, she queried, “Where’s Collin?”

“He’s tied up with some urgent matters, Mrs. Riley,” the driver explained politely. “I’ll take you for a quick styling, then

he’ll catch up with us soon.”

With a slight nod, Linsey showed her understanding.
