Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1399: Carrying the iced latte with anticipation, she knocked on the office door. "Come in," a calm male voice replied. Linsey froze. That voice... It didn't sound like Dustin at all. Still, she had no time to hesitate. She pushed the door open, her smile polite. "Mr. Wade-" But when her eyes landed on the man behind the desk, her face paled in shock. "You?!" Collin looked up. The moment he saw her, his pen stilled in midair. His heart gave a hard jolt. Just yesterday, Lowell had dropped to his knees, begging forgiveness after revealing the truth.

Collin pulled himself from his thoughts, masking everything with cold indifference. "Why are you looking for him?" Linsey placed the iced latte with whipped cream on his desk. Her tone was straightforward. "I bought afternoon tea for everyone. This one's for Mr. Wade." Collin followed her gesture, his eyes falling on the drink. Almost instantly, his brows drew tight.
