Why would two CEOs from CR Corporation be conducting her interview personally? What stunned her even more was recognizing the man in black as Collin. Was her mind playing tricks on her? Collin's father ran Riley Group.

How could he possibly be the head of CR Corporation? And if he wasn't, what was he doing here at all? Confusion swirled through Linsey's thoughts. She rubbed her eyes deliberately before looking again to confirm what she was seeing. The instant her gaze found him, he lifted his head with perfect timing. Their eyes locked across the space between them. His stare held depths that seemed to pierce straight through her, causing her pulse to stutter unexpectedly. Recognition hit her like a physical blow, and she quickly looked away as inexplicable heat bloomed across her cheeks.

"We-" Linsey stumbled over her words, completely at a loss for how to explain their complicated history. Before she could formulate a proper response, Collin's attention shifted to Dustin with obvious irritation.

"Are we here to conduct a professional interview, or are you planning to launch a gossip column?" "I was simply trying to help her relax by switching to lighter conversation." Dustin's explanation carried genuine sincerity. Collin had zero interest in continuing this particular line of discussion, delivering a frigid ultimatum instead. "Start the actual interview immediately, or I'm leaving." "Okay, okay." Dustin clearly couldn't afford to lose the founder so quickly, especially since Collin rarely bothered returning to handle company business personally.

Recognizing that Collin's patience was rapidly evaporating, Dustin forced himself to abandon his playful approach and concentrate seriously on Linsey's interview. . . .
