Chapter 759:
Just as Linsey was about to lose her composure, Collin extended his hand toward her.
“Nice to meet you, Aurora. Your work in yesterday’s competition was breathtaking.”
He paused, then added, “I really liked it.”
Linsey’s lips parted slightly, like a fish caught out of water.
She stood motionless and rigid in Gorman’s arm.
Although Gorman still wore his smirk, his eyes had grown cold as he studied Linsey the way a hawk studies its prey.
“The founder of CR Corporation just paid you a compliment. Don’t you think you should respond?” Gorman said to Linsey.
She took a deep breath and then turned to Gorman with an intense stare. The smile on Gorman’s face immediately faded.
Being so close, he could finally see that Linsey’s eyes were red with emotion. There was a questioning gaze in them.
Caught off guard, Gorman released his grip on Linsey.
Without a word, Linsey lifted the hem of her dress and walked away, briskly brushing past Collin.
As she passed, a familiar sweet scent lingered in the air, causing Collin’s heart to skip a beat.
It was at that moment Collin finally realized that the masked woman—the famous designer Gorman had introduced—was actually Linsey.
Gorman soon regained his composure and turned to see Collin standing completely still. Smiling suggestively, Gorman said, “You appear to be quite enamored with my companion, Collin.”
Collin stared back at him with a look of cold indifference.
“Your companion?” he repeated.
Gorman smirked arrogantly and replied, “Of course.”
He paused briefly, then continued, “You should understand one thing. Much can change in four years. It would serve you well to stay away from those who will never belong to you.”
With that, Gorman walked away, leaving Collin standing alone.
Collin remained where he was, his mind replaying the interaction that had just occurred only moments before.
Even with her face concealed, he could still identify Linsey.
A sharp pain shot through Collin’s chest at the thought.
So Linsey was the renowned designer Aurora.
The designer in the third booth during yesterday’s competition had actually been Linsey.
She had been the one who endured the heat to finish her work, and she had also used her left hand throughout the entire design process.
