Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 282 You Haven't Changed

Gorman regarded Linsey with a measured gaze and remarked, "Not bad. You've managed to pass my test after all."

"Huh?" Linsey was utterly perplexed. She looked at Gorman as though he were detached from reality.

Gorman lifted an eyebrow, his demeanor relaxed. "Had you agreed to marry me, neglecting your husband, I would have lost respect for you. But it seems you are the same person who saved me once. You haven't changed."

Then, he allowed a slow smile to spread across his face. "You might not want to marry me now, and that's fine. Eventually,

you'll fall for me; it'll be inevitable."

Linsey found herself speechless. She laughed incredulously and gave Gorman a look of sheer contempt. "You're out of your

mind."

She didn't plan to stay any longer. She quickly opened the door and left.

Outside the room, Danny was taken aback before quickly entering. "Boss, did Ms. Brooks just leave like that? Shouldn't you

follow her? She seemed upset."

Gorman gave a lazy smirk as his eyes wandered to a painting on the wall. "She can't escape me."

Danny fell silent, then ventured, "Tonight was a prime opportunity. You should have spent more time with her. After all

these years of searching..."

Calmly, Gorman responded, "I had no intention of letting her go, but she clearly didn't want to stay. I noticed she was

prepared to defend herself."

This left Danny at a loss for words.

Why was Linsey suddenly so cautious around his boss?noveldrama

If he had known what Gorman had just done, he might have been bold enough to confront him, perhaps even shake some

sense into him.

No one in their right mind would leap to a proposal the moment they reunited with the woman they barely knew?

Unfortunately, Danny was oblivious.

Gorman's words came out measured and deliberate. “She has a strong personality. Trying to force her to stay would be

catastrophic."

Danny paused, then slowly nodded. "You're right."

“I'm in no rush. In time, Linsey will come around," Gorman said, his chuckle deep and knowing.

A frown briefly marred Danny's face.

Come around?

Hadn't he just described Linsey as strong-willed?

This doubt flickered through his mind as he observed Gorman's assured smile. Opting for discretion, he remained silent.

It seemed his boss had gotten on his feet and was now taking a more considered approach with Linsey.

As his assistant, it was perhaps best to leave it at that and not overthink the complexities of his boss's strategies.

After arriving home safely, Linsey still felt uneasy.

Under normal circumstances, seeing someone she had once saved flourishing

should have been a positive experience.

Yet, she hadn't anticipated such a strange twist in events.

What could Gorman possibly do next?

At dinner, Collin observed Linsey drifting off occasionally and felt compelled to

ask, "Linsey, is something wrong? Have you

been pushing yourself too hard?"
