Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 304: His tone was relaxed. "I believe HR recognized this as well. After all, Linsey-you're a sensation online."

Linsey nodded in understanding. "That makes sense. Thank you, Mr. Wade. I'm sorry to have disturbed you."

Dustin's laughter was warm. "No trouble at all. And since you're Collin's wife, just call me Dustin. If you need anything, come directly to me."

"Sure," Linsey agreed. Dustin added, "Oh, by the way, did you know Collin's birthday is just around the corner?"

Linsey's interest was piqued. "Is Collin's birthday close?"

She had been unaware of Collin's birthday. It was fortunate Dustin had mentioned it.

Eagerly, Linsey asked, "Any idea what he might like? I'd like to get him something special."

Dustin's knowing laugh came through. "Collin's a tough one to read. How could I possibly know? But I'm certain he'd treasure anything from you."

After ending the call, Linsey didn't linger in thought. She went straight online to hunt for a gift.

Despite her extensive search, nothing seemed quite right.

Then, inspiration hit her.

Why not bake a cake for Collin herself? A homemade gift would surely carry more meaning.

Resolved, Linsey decided to bake a chocolate cake for Collin's birthday, confident he would adore it.

Over the following days, she settled into her new office and adapted smoothly to her role as department head. During her downtime, she watched tutorial videos on cake baking.

The next morning, Linsey arrived at work early. With no pressing tasks, she resumed the tutorial video she hadn't finished the night before. She had to keep this project under wraps-this cake was meant to be a surprise for Collin. She couldn't let him find out.

Collin seemed to always be by her side after work. That was why she had struggled to find time for the tutorials the previous evening.

With Collin's birthday fast approaching, she needed to master baking quickly.

Linsey was utterly absorbed in a video when the unexpected jangle of her phone made her flinch. Regaining her composure, she answered the phone.

On the other end, a voice floated through, gentle and soothing, a stark contrast to Collin's typically robust and resonant tones. This voice was mellower, almost tender.

"Is this Linsey?" the man inquired, the words simple yet somehow stirring a curious warmth in her.

Who was this? The voice was unfamiliar, yet oddly comforting.

"Yeah, that's me. What's this about?" Linsey replied, her voice tinged with a subtle bewilderment, her brow furrowed slightly in confusion.

From the other side, Gorman's heart swelled with a sudden rush of familiarity, and an inexplicable warmth bloomed in his chest. He let out a soft chuckle, the sound warm and inviting.
