Chapter 20 No Time To Fool Around

Knowing that this client’s favorite was black coffee, Lindsey Juhl deliberately arranged for them to meet at this cafe. "Hello, Mr. Fandel! I think it would be clearer to talk to you about the details of this project in person. Are you alright with my arrangement?" In terms of closing deals, Lindsey had always been successful. Otherwise, she would not have been the top performer of the company. "Oh, that...Ms. Juhl, my apologies. I received a phone call 10 minutes ago, so I may need to reconsider our collaboration." Mr. Fandel said awkwardly and the words that came out made Lindsey dumbfounded. "Is there something I've done that you're not satisfied with, or?" "No, no, no. It's just that Ms. Lenig from Denarius Corporation has offered better terms. You know I’m a businessman, so I’ll choose the one that has a better deal. I’m really sorry!" She had no grounds to blame him. Since Denarius intervened, it was no wonder he would back out last minute. "So that's how it is! It's alright. I look forward to our next cooperation." "Thanks for your understanding. Then I won't take up more of your time. This cup of coffee’s on me." After Mr. Fandel left, Lindsey rubbed her temples as a sudden headache set in. She had prepared for this project for a long time, but everything was up to fate. The black coffee was inherently bitter, just like her current mood. Just then, a flamboyant and graceful woman walked into the cafe. The purple skirt she wore with a delicate belt embellished around her waist accentuated her curves and made her look stunning. "How does it feel to have nothing?" As soon as Jenny Lenig appeared, she became the focus of everyone’s eyes! "If you've come here to show off, then I think you've come to the wrong place." It was obvious that Lindsey did not want to see Jenny at this moment. If Jenny had not been involved behind the scenes, she would not have been in this mess. Looking at Lindsey’s back, Jenny's fists clenched tighter that her perfectly manicured nails had dug into her flesh, but it was as if she did not feel a thing. "It seems that I’ve underestimated you. Just you wait!" Lindsey, who had initially lost hope in life, was annoyed by all the troubles that came one after another every day. On the contrary, Jenny’s words aroused Lindsey’s fighting spirit. Why should she punish herself for the faults of others? In the evening, Lindsey returned to the Guggenheim mansion early. Since she could not get rid of this man, she would just let him be. Moreover, she always had a question she wanted his confession to. When Zayn Guggenheim stepped into the house, he saw Lindsey there and felt a little relieved, but he did not notice this himself. Zayn passed by her as if she was invisible, completely oblivious. "Wait, can you tell me what you like about Jenny Lenig?" "What does it have to do with you?" Zayn frowned tightly and wondered why Lindsey brought up this matter. "It doesn’t, but I’m just curious what makes you so attracted to her that you’re unable to let her go." "It has nothing to do with you!" Zayn could not answer this question himself. When he saw Lindsey's unbothered face, he did not have anything he wanted to say. "Fine!" Since Lindsey could not get her answer, she did not persist and turned around to go back to her room. It actually did not matter to her. She loved Zayn for so many years, yet the person in his heart had always been Jenny Lenig.
