NovelApexChapter 1342:
Gorman gave a hod, and in moments the suits melted away into the distance, leaving only the whisper of the
waves around them.
Now that they were alone, he studied her with quiet concern. “Linsey... what happened?”
A tightness formed in Linsey’s throat as she tried to speak. Whatever explanation she meant to give dissolved
before it could escape.
Watching her hesitate only deepened Gorman’s concern. “Linsey, you don’t have to be scared. If something's
wrong, just tell me. I'll stand by you, no matter what.”
What difference could his help make now? She had already lost her virginity, and bitterness welled up inside her.
Thinking carefully about the complexity of that man’s background, she decided Gorman was better off kept away
from all this chaos. After wrestling with her thoughts, she finally managed a half-truth. “I stopped by the
pharmacy for smedicine, and things got mixed up. They mistookfor a doctor and whiskedoff to help
someone. After that...” Her words trailed off, leaving the rest hanging in the air.
Gorman pressed for more, his voice soft but insistent. “What happened after that?” he asked, watching her
closely.

Not a single detail in her story was questioned by Gorman. A relieved smile crossed his face as he said, “The
important thing is that you're safe.”
Earlier that day, his most loyal employee had told him Collin was in town on business, so he had been worried
Linsey might cross paths with him. It seemed his fears had been unnecessary.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that fate had brought him and Linsey together for a reason, and that Collin was
simply passing through her life.
That realization made him wonder if it was tto becmore than friends with her.
While Gorman drifted into his own thoughts, the seriousness in his eyes was unmistakable.
Feeling the weight of the day catch up with her, Linsey murmured, “I just want to get back and have a shower.”
