NovelApexChapter 1221:
But her entire arrangement with Collin had been nothing more than a desperate attempt to rescue Felix’s project
and spare his company from devastating losses. Now that Felix had betrayed her so completely, Linsey saw no
point in maintaining the charade with Collin any longer.
A fierce gust whipped through her hair, making her lashes flutter. Without a second thought, she declined his
call.
The phone buzzed again almost immediately. She rejected it once more, but Collin persisted with stubborn
determination, creating a relentless cycle of calls and rejections that stretched on for what felt like forever.
Growing weary of this exhausting dance, she finally powered off her phone completely and stepped into the rain-
soaked street to flag down a taxi.
In a bar, the space stretched wide but remained shrouded in shadows, with colorful neon lights pulsing and
flickering to create an intoxicating, dreamlike atmosphere. Bodies moved across the dance floor in wild abandon,
men and women losing themselves to the music, while occasional whoops and cheers erupted from the crowd.
Linsey sat hunched over the bar counter, drinking in solitude, surrounded by a graveyard of empty bottles and
glasses of every shape and size. After draining yet another glass, she slammed it down carelessly and addressed
the bartender, her words thick with alcohol. “Another one, please.”

“What do you mean?” Linsey’s eyes flashed with drunken anger as she fixed him with a withering stare. “I'm
paying good money, so why can’t | drink as much as | want? You think | won't get you fired?”
The bartender realized his concern had only earned him her wrath. He sighed and reached for another bottle,
preparing her drink without another word. “Here you go.”
Just as Linsey’s fingers closed around the fresh glass, a heavy hand dropped onto her shoulder. She spun around
to find a man’s face hovering inches from her own.
“Ah!” Startled, Linsey shoved him backward and snapped, “Who the hell are you?”

The man stood at average height, wearing a gaudy floral shirt stretched across his frand a gold chain
glinting at his throat. His smile revealed a row of yellowed, crooked teeth, and the stench of stale alcohol rolled
off him in waves. Two lackeys lurked behind him like shadows.
His grin widened as he leaned closer, oozing false charm. “Hey there, gorgeous. Drinking all by yourself? How
about you letkeep you company?”
Realizing he was hitting on her, Linsey cut him off with brutal directness. “Not interested.”
She turned her back on him and lifted her drink again, seeking refuge in the burning liquid.
