Recognizing her from photos, Linsey didn't hesitate.
She quickly made her way inside just as the villa gates were about to close and called out softly, "Mrs. Blakely!" Anthea turned at the sound, her gaze landing on Linsey's bright, earnest eyes.
It had been quite stsince Anthea had encountered such open sincerity. Anthea's face softened into a smile. "May I know who you are? It appears we haven't met. How do you know my name?" Facing her directly, Linsey sensed the tranquil presence Anthea projected.
Surely, a person with such a composed air would not needlessly complicate matters for designers.

At this, Anthea's fleeting smile disappeared, and her demeanor cooled. She turned away, saying briskly, "There's nothing to discuss. Please leave." She signaled to the butler. "And make sure we stop all design orders with CR Corporation. I'm tired of their designers." "Understood, Mrs. Blakely," replied the butler.
Rooted to the spot, Linsey was taken aback by the abrupt dismissal. She began to speak, but the butler cut her off.
"Please, you need to leave now. Mrs. Blakely has no wish to see you." Watching Anthea walk away, Linsey called out, her voice filled with genuine concern, "Mrs. Blakely, is there perhaps smisunderstanding? It seems you're hesitant to work with CR Corporation's designers. But I assure you, my intentions are entirely sincere. I hope you might reconsider and allowthe chance to deliver a design that meets your standards." Pausing, she added, "I'm Linsey Riley, by the way. If you ever reconsider, you can findat CR Corporation." At that, Anthea paused in her stride and turned around, eyebrows lifted. "What was your nagain?" Chapter 92 My Husband Is Quite The Ordinary Fellow Caught slightly off-guard, Linsey replied, "Linsey. My nis Linsey Riley."
Anthea, her interest piqued, turned completely around. A hint of om amusement flickered her eyes as she posed her question. "You seem like a fine young woman. Are you partnered or married?" Linsey was taken aback by the abrupt shift to personal territory, but she responded truthfully, "Yes, I'm married."
"You must be married to someone well-known in town, right? Someone Night? prominent? What's his name? Perhaps I've heard of him," Anthea said, her laughter light and teasing.
Linsey blinked, slightly thrown by the question. "My husband is quite the ordinary fellow. His surnis Riley. His first name, well..." "What, you're hesitant to share your husband's name? Do you think he is an embarrassment?" Anthea inquired.
