Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1412: Sending employees to entertain clients or handle difficult ones was standard practice at the company. Besides, she had Gorman in her corner. If things went south, he would have her back. At worst, she could walk away from CR Corporation and join Green Group, securing a cushier role with a fatter paycheck. Still, something nagged at her... Linsey was just a low-level employee. With Gorman's clout, sidelining her should have been child's play. Why would he go through all this expense and effort? Yana turned it over in her mind, sifting through possibilities, but nothing clicked.

Finally, when no answer emerged, she shrugged it off. Why overthink it? A golden opportunity for a promotion and a windfall was staring her in the face-only an idiot would pass it up. Satisfied with her reasoning, Yana refocused on her phone. Meanwhile, Linsey arrived alone at the exclusive venue for the dinner. She knocked and stepped into the private room, instantly drawing every pair of eyes. The room buzzed with men, and the one seated at the head of the table was in high spirits, his face flushed from liquor.

The sound of the door interrupted him, and he snapped irritably, "Who the hell are you? Don't you know the rules around here?" But as his gaze landed on Linsey, his demeanor shifted, his face lighting up with excitement. Unaware of the meaning behind his stare, Linsey quickly apologized. "Gentlemen, I'm sorry. Traffic was a nightmare, and it delayed me." She punctuated her words with a respectful bow before the group. The men exchanged glances, their whispers rippling through the room. "Who's this girl? She's actually kind of adorable." "No clue.

Did you sneak in a call girl because you were bored?" Fresh updates loaded gαℓησνs․cøm "Get real. This dinner's hosted by Mr. Cooper. I wouldn't dare pull that kind of stunt here." While the others murmured in confusion about Linsey's presence, Winslow Cooper, seated prominently at the table's head, suddenly jolted with recognition. "I've got it!" he declared. All eyes turned to Winslow, their expressions eager and ingratiating. Hiccupping from the alcohol, Winslow pointed at Linsey with a wide grin.

"Yana sent you, didn't she?" When Linsey nodded in confirmation, Winslow's face lit up, his eyes crinkling with delight. Not long ago, several companies had vied fiercely for a project with the Cooper Group. Yana had gone all out, not only excelling in her work but also catering to his personal desires. Thoroughly pleased, he had awarded her the project. Word was, she had even earned a promotion for it. He had hoped Yana would show up tonight, but when she claimed illness and sent a substitute instead, he had been irritated by her absence.

Yet, the moment he laid eyes on Linsey, his frustration dissolved entirely. "What's your name?" Winslow asked, his tone softening as he took in her youthful charm. . . .
