Chapter 17 Innocent Facade

"Now that you lovers are reunited, I should congratulate you." "It's really not what you think! I’m sorry, I’ll never bother you guys again if it irks you so much!" After Jenny Lenig said that, she immediately ran out. The look on her face was truly pitiful. "Lindsey Juhl!" "You shouldn’t cling on to me. Why don't you go after your sweetheart?" Lindsey completely ignored Zayn's furious gaze. Sure enough in the next second, the footsteps behind her were getting further away. Zayn Guggenheim still chose to go after Jenny Lenig. The disappointment in her heart instantly settled. She should get used to it by now! After grabbing a bite, Lindsey recovered her strength, then took a shower and went back to sleep. She slept soundly without Zayn around. It was not until her phone rang that she woke up. “Lindsey, did that brat treat you well these past two days? If he bullied you, wait for Grandpa to come back. I’ll back you up." "Okay. Thanks, Grandpa. I'm fine, you have fun!" As Lindsey hung up the phone, she felt a warm current surge through her heart. At least there was still someone in this world who was genuinely good to her. It seemed that Grandpa did not know about Jenny Lenig's return yet. Otherwise, he would be worried about Lindsey again. In the afternoon, Lindsey was reprimanded when she walked into the office, but there was nothing she could do and she was helpless. To regain her clients, Lindsey almost got into trouble at the entertainment club. At the moment, she did not have any other solution to this. Just when Lindsey was at a loss, Lydia chuckled with a smile on her face and walked towards her wearing stilettos. "There, don't say that I didn't help you. Follow up on this client." Lindsey was overjoyed. Judging by Lydia's proud look, this client was surely a top-tiered one. Her job was saved! However, when Lindsey took a look at the document Lydia gave her, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. "Sorry, Lydia. I can't take on this client!" "Why? You don't have a single client now. Mr. Woltman also named you specifically to take charge of this project. I don’t need to tell you Woltman Corporation’s status in the city, right?" What Lydia meant was that this was a very rare opportunity. "There’s no reason. Just let someone else take this client!" "After offending Mr. Woltman, do you think you can still make a living in this industry? He specifically named you to be in charge!" Lydia's question was met with Lindsey's head hanging low, not saying a word. "Fine. Since you’re so capable, don’t blame me for being brutal if you can't meet the target this month." Lydia left in a huff and was furious. After what happened last night, Lindsey would not try this anymore. Lindsey was familiar with the client on the document who could certainly be of big help to her, but that client was also the second "husband" her adoptive parents had prepared for her! Or perhaps it was more appropriate to say their financial backer! Lydia mentioned earlier that Mr. Woltman had named her to be responsible for this project. If Lindsey agreed, she would be walking into danger once again. No matter what, she would never give in! "She’s so slow-witted. I thought she was close to Lydia. Now that there’s such a good opportunity, she refused. She really is entitled!" "Whatever, how can we compare to her? You really can do whatever you want if you have a pretty face." The whispers and gossip were rampant in the office as everyone was talking about this matter. The gossip was so exaggerated that Lindsey found it funny.
