Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 54 I Want Him

Nowhere Near Linsey Ag...

Linsey had never been so close to a man before. She instinctively leaned back, trying to create some distance between Collin and her.

Yet, in the next instant, Collin extended his arm and firmly encircled her waist.

A chill ran through her, causing her skin to tingle and her eyelashes to flutter as her eyes slowly closed.

Her ears and cheeks grew warm, the heat spreading uncontrollably across her skin.

Why was Collin so close all of a sudden?

Was he about to kiss her?

The gap between them narrowed progressively, the air thickening with tension.

As Linsey's heart pounded, on the verge of bursting, she sensed a soft touch near her ear.

His hand gently moved her hair from her face to behind her ear.

Linsey's eyes snapped open and she caught Collin's gaze.

She noticed a subtle glint of amusement in his eyes.

"Your hair was a mess," Collin remarked softly, his deep voice resonating as he relaxed his grip on her waist.

Linsey straightened up as he did, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. She blurted out, "You pulled me close just to fix my hair?"

Collin raised an eyebrow, his tone playful and teasing. "What else would I do?"

He continued to gaze at her flushed cheeks, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He felt a flutter in his chest but kept his tone light. "Were you expecting something else just now?"

Linsey's face grew even redder, and she quickly looked away, stuttering, "Of course not!"

She nervously bit her dry lip and muttered, "Thank you."

Linsey took a deep breath and awkwardly smoothed her hair, which Collin had already arranged.

This gesture seemed to mask the turmoil inside her.

Collin observed her every move, his lips curling into a slight smile before he decided to let the moment pass without further comment.

The driver was still present, and Collin didn't want to embarrass Linsey further.

After a pause, Linsey looked out the window, noticing they had already traveled a significant distance.

"Could you let me off somewhere up ahead? I need to return to work. If I'm found out, my pay will be cut," she explained.

Collin replied, "Where do you work? I'll take you there."

Numerous companies populated the area, including CR Corporation, which Collin had established, situated nearby.

Linsey felt uneasy and desired some time alone.

"There's no need. You have your own matters to attend to. I'll walk," she said.

Acknowledging her firmness, Collin conceded. He instructed the driver to find a place to stop.

After expressing her gratitude, Linsey quickly opened the car door and glanced back. "See you tonight."

The moment she spoke, Linsey realized the potential implications of her words, as if she and Collin had a clandestine

understanding.

This thought only added to her discomfort. She exited the car rapidly without waiting for Collin's response.

Rushing, she nearly stumbled but regained her balance swiftly, acting as if nothing unusual had occurred. She closed the

door and departed at a brisk pace.noveldrama

From the car, Collin observed her departing form, cracking the window open slightly. A subtle smile appeared as he watched her perturbed expression.

Only when Linsey was no longer in view did his expression shift to one of seriousness. He rolled up the window, his look

turning stern.

Had Linsey not reached out to him that day, he would have remained unaware of Felix's continued harassment.

Moreover, Felix had audaciously attempted to touch her.

This realization caused Collin's face to take on a menacing seriousness.

He directed the driver to continue on and pulled out his phone to call an aide.

"Deal with Felix immediately. If he can't control himself, ensure he understands clearly. I want him nowhere near Linsey

again," he commanded.

"Yes, Mr. Riley," came the reply.
