Chapter 138 I've Got This All Figured Out

Meeting Linsey's intense, unwavering gaze, Collin found himself momentarily powerless to refuse.

He hesitated, the weight of her stare anchoring him to the spot, before he finally gave in with a reluctant nod. "Alright, I trust you," he conceded, his voice tinged with a mixture of admiration and resignation.

Swiftly, Collin beckoned to his subordinate and issued a firm directive. "From this moment, you're to take your orders from

Linsey. Whatever she demands, execute it without question."

"Got it, Mr. Riley," the subordinate responded promptly, his tone laced with deference.

Collin turned back to Linsey, and his eyes sought hers, as if he was seeking confirmation or perhaps reassurance. "If you come up with any strategies, just inform him, and he'll orchestrate everything on your behalf."

Linsey paused, her mind seemingly weaving through a labyrinth of thoughts before she addressed the subordinate. "There's nothing to handle right now. If something comes up, you'll be the first to know. Thanks."

"Mrs. Riley, serving you is truly a privilege," the subordinate replied, his expression one of genuine pride mixed with a touch of awe. His brow then furrowed in concern as he ventured cautiously, "With Marisol exposing this, staying silent isn't an option-if it blows up later, it'll put you in a tough spot."

Linsey's lips curled into a knowing smile, a flash of cunning flickering across her features. “Let her make a fool of herself if she wants-having everyone watch will only work in our favor," she declared firmly.

The subordinate blinked, taken aback by her audacity. He had not anticipated such a bold strategy from Linsey.

Concern etched deeper into his features as he pondered the potential repercussions.

"But, Mrs. Riley, if this escalates, it could tarnish more than just your reputation," he warned, his voice laden with caution.

"No need to worry. I've got this all figured out," Linsey assured him with a wave of her hand, her confidence unshaken.

Collin watched, his gaze sharpening as he noted the steadfast resolve etched into her features. With a slight arch of his

eyebrows, he found himself swept up in her conviction, nodding in silent agreement.

He turned towards his subordinate and commanded crisply, "Follow her lead."

The subordinate rubbed the back of his neck, his confusion deepening. Collin's methods often baffled him, and Linsey's assertive stance only added layers to his perplexity.

Initially, he had assumed Linsey was nothing special-just another ordinary

woman.

Yet, standing there, her demeanor unyielding and poised against the onslaught of threats, she cast a whole new shadow of

intrigue.

Where others might crumble under such pressure, Linsey stood her ground with a calm so potent it mirrored Collin's own.

The resemblance in their composure under pressure was uncanny.

A thought flickered through his mind-was there truth to the old saying that

partners grow to mirror each other over time?

Respecting Linsey's decision, Collin stepped back, allowing her the reins completely.

The online world buzzed with wild speculations about her, each more sensational than the last.

Amidst the growing storm, Dolores stumbled upon the fervent discussions and reached out to Linsey in distress.

Without missing a beat, Linsey shared her carefully laid plans, soothing Dolores with her confidence.

After listening to Linsey's strategy, Dolores couldn't help but shake her head, a gesture tinged with resignation and a hint of admiration. "Linsey, you've always been stubbornly independent, never needing anyone to do what you can handle yourself.

With a sigh, Dolores continued, "I thought Collin might be the one to finally keep that fiery attitude of yours in check, but it looks like even he's got no control over you. Well, might as well embrace it. Once you deal with Marisol, everyone will

realize that you're not someone to mess with."

In the days that followed, Linsey took the time to rest and recuperate. Thankfully, her sprain was minor, and by the next morning, she was back to her routine, striding into work with her usual

vigor.

Yet, the atmosphere at the company was unmistakably different. As she entered the building, she couldn't miss the

sidelong glances and the hushed whispers that followed her progress.

Not a hint of surprise crossed her face-she had been prepared for this all along.

The rumors, fueled by Marisol's vindictive efforts, had taken on a life of their own, painting her in hues far removed from

reality.noveldrama

It wasn't just acquaintances who viewed her with new eyes-strangers seemed equally eager to indulge in the scandal.

Undeterred by the murmurs and pointed stares, Linsey moved through the lobby with a composed determination.

She was almost at her desk when Cynthia appeared out of nowhere, blocking her path with a stance that was confrontational, arms crossed and eyes gleaming with

scorn.

"Linsey, you've got some fucking nerve. After everything that's exploded online, you still have the audacity to show up? You really don't know shame, do you?" Cynthia sneered, her voice dripping with derision.
