Romance

Before Shaun Juhl left, he gave Zayn Guggenheim a look. Shaun’s eyes were full of emotions as he was helpless and could not care for Lindsey at this moment.

After Lindsey saw that Shaun was long gone, she relaxed a little. She avoided Zayn's help, gritted her teeth, and walked towards the house.

"You...are you okay?"

"All thanks to you, I’m not dead yet!"

Zayn was a little overwhelmed. Lindsey was clearly pissed.

She was annoyed that the drama kept on coming day by day, like it would never end, and it made her head throb.

Although the injury on her arm was painful, it was not as bad as her tired heart.

Zayn stood aside with a dull face as he watched Lindsey treat her wound with difficulty. It was a good thing that he did not get angry at this time.

"Ouch..." 

Lindsey felt a burst of pain when she poured alcohol on the wound and she could not help but suck in a breath of cold air

According to Lindsey Juhl’s understanding of that vengeful brother of hers, things were not so simple.

The mysterious smile on Lydia’s face earlier also confirmed her thoughts.

Lindsey was considering this as her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a WhatsApp message that read, “Don’t waste your breath on these people.”

She quickly replied.

"It’s a waste of time for you to deal with this kind of person."

"As long as it's about you, it's not a trivial matter!"

It was obvious that Shaun Juhl was aware of everything Fenly did.

Lindsey was happy to see that someone finally taught Fenly a lesson for her.

"Thanks, brother!"

After saying this, Lindsey suddenly thought, ‘So this is how it feels to have someone backing me in the company.’

It was not bad at all!

Fenly was happy at the moment, but she could not laugh in the following days.

These project proposals were indeed very lucrative. The turnover rate was also good, but somehow, those clients just refused to meet her.

No matter what methods she tried, the final result was “let's see in a couple of days!”

Was this not an obvious rejection?

"Lydia, I don’t know how to deal with these clients for the time being. Can you help me out?" 

Fenly was at the end of her rope.

"What's wrong?"

"It’s like this. These days..." 

Fenly retold her situation.

She also felt that something was wrong, but she could not pinpoint it.

"It's not that I don’t want to help you. Look at these papers on my desk. By the time I'm done with them, you must’ve already thought of a solution." 

Lydia casually touched her nose and looked at Fenly with sympathy.

"But..."

Lydia interrupted Fenly and said, "Alright, it's not much of a big deal anyway. It's still a long way before the end of the month, so you still have time to ponder over these cases!"

Her rejection was so obvious that Fenly instantly understood!

......

Someone was happy about another’s sorrow. Fenly was so anxious that she was like a cat on hot bricks. Lindsey, on the other hand, was delighted.

"Shaun, it seems that you’re more fond of teasing Fenly lately!"

Shaun shrugged and said, "Really?"

"Looks like I really can't offend you in the future. Otherwise, I probably won't know how I'll die."

Lindsey laughed. Her elder brother could truly hold a grudge.

Shaun looked at her smile and said solemnly, "No matter what, I can’t bear to lay a hand on you." 

"I was just kidding! I know you love me the most!"

Shaun gently glared at her and said, "Even if it's a joke, you can't have such thoughts next time!"

"Fine..." 

Lindsey mischievously stuck out her tongue.

It was only in front of Shaun that Lindsey could reveal her innocent and childish side.

Others saw the intimacy between the two and felt they were not just siblings.

"By the way, there’s a cocktail party tonight. Why don’t you accompany me there?" 

Shaun was handling the paperwork in his hands as he asked the question, seemingly asking for her permission.

"But I’m not good at this."

Lindsey was talented in consulting and her performance was better than others in the company.

However, if she was asked to attend a cocktail party, with her low alcohol tolerance, she was only afraid that she would drag him down.

"It's fine. It just so happens that your brother’s missing a female companion today."

"Okay then!"

Lindsey did not refuse because as long as Shaun was there, there was nothing he could not handle.

Shaun had specially prepared a light blue gown for Lindsey to attend this cocktail party.

The excellent tailoring accentuated her beautiful figure perfectly. It was also studded with gemstones, showing off the magnificence and elegance of this dress to its fullest.

There was a simple and brilliant diamond necklace resting on her slender and fair collarbone, adding to the beauty of this outfit.

The gown fitted Lindsey so perfectly and she completely embodied the beauty of this dress.

"Shaun, do I look too prominent like this?"

Lindsey was a bundle of nerves.

This was her first time attending such a big reception and to boldly present herself in front of others like this.

"No, this is just right."

Shaun said casually as if he was unfazed, but the amazement in his eyes made Lindsey even more nervous.

"Really? But I feel..."

"Linds, you're not going to stand me up right now, are you?"

Lindsey was rendered speechless.

When Shaun mentioned this, Lindsey could not refuse him, so she could only oblige.

At the entrance of the hall, Lindsey and Shaun's appearance attracted a lot of attention. Everyone was stunned by their elegance. There was also no shortage of envious and jealous gazes among the crowd.

"Shaun..."

"Don't be afraid. I’m right here!"

Shaun's words were very reassuring for Lindsey and it boosted her confidence.

What Lindsey did not expect was that she would actually meet Zayn Guggenheim here too!

Of course, Jenny Lenig was beside him.

When Shaun and Lindsey entered the venue, Zayn's eyes were locked on them.

There was a pure rage in his eyes, and Jenny, who was standing next to Zayn, was green with envy.

Zayn's gaze was so fiery that it made Lindsey feel like someone was staring at her. When she turned in that direction, she saw Zayn.

The moment their eyes met, a trace of panic arose in her heart.

However, when she saw Jenny beside him, Lindsey suddenly felt that she was being ridiculous.

Why should she feel guilty? Was he not accompanied by another woman too?

Lindsey withdrew her gaze after just one glance, as if Zayn and Jenny were strangers.

"Mr. Guggenheim, we..."

Zayn could no longer hear whatever the person beside him said.

His eyes were just fixated on Lindsey.

Jenny politely smiled and said, "Please excuse us for a moment." 

"Zayn, what's wrong with you?" 

Jenny was a little flustered because Zayn had too much of a reaction.

It was undeniable that Lindsey was indeed radiant that evening.

Zayn’s voice was cold as he blurted, "Nothing’s wrong!" 

Jenny knew him well enough. At this time, Zayn was like a crazed lion that could go out of control and tear someone to pieces at any moment. It was extremely terrifying!

Lindsey, accompanied by Shaun, walked around the hall with ease. She would smile courteously from time to time and was not as timid as when she first arrived. 

Perhaps it was because of Zayn's presence!

In the bathroom, Lindsey was a little dizzy as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her alcohol tolerance was low and she had one too many that evening. 

When she looked up again, a dark and sullen face suddenly appeared in the mirror.

Jenny Lenig's appearance was adding fuel to the fire.

Lindsey Juhl stopped Shaun Juhl's argument and mockingly looked at Zayn and Jenny as she said, "Zayn Guggenheim, what right do you have to say this about me? Don’t you also have a pretty woman by your side?"

"We’re different!"

"What's so different? So you guys are allowed to be in love and I can't even have a meal with someone else?"

Zayn was dumbfounded for a moment, wondering when Lindsey had become so eloquent.

Seeing how Lindsey was so protective of Shaun, Zayn only felt extremely annoyed.

"When you’ve taken care of yourself, then you can talk about me. Shaun, let's go!"

Lindsey did not linger any longer and pulled Shaun away.

She knew that it was useless to argue with Zayn because that man would never listen to her explanation and there was nothing to explain about.

Was he not pining for the person beside him, Jenny Leni

Before Shaun Juhl left, he gave Zayn Guggenheim a look. Shaun’s eyes were full of emotions as he was helpless and could not care for Lindsey at this moment.

After Lindsey saw that Shaun was long gone, she relaxed a little. She avoided Zayn's help, gritted her teeth, and walked towards the house.

Lindsey felt a burst of pain when she poured alcohol on the wound and she could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Zayn snatched over the disinfectant from Lindsey's hand and said viciously, "Stupid woman!"
