NovelApexChapter 1272:
Cynthia's eyes widened, and her lipstick slipped from her hand, clattering to the floor.
Kylee blinked in shock. Wasn't the cleaning lady supposed to keep her out? How did Linsey get in?
“Why did you stop talking?” Linsey asked, her voice cold and sharp. “Go on. I'm right here.”
Cynthia froze, then crouched to pick up her lipstick, her gaze fixed on the floor. Kylee, recovering more quickly,
forced a smile. “Linsey, we were just chatting. Nothing serious. Don’t take it the wrong way.”
Linsey let out a dry laugh. “Would you be this calm if | were the one calling you a shameless, scheming,
manipulative woman behind your back?”
Kylee’s smile stiffened.
Before she could speak, Cynthia stepped in, her voice shaky but bold. “Maybe we didn’t word it nicely, but we
were being honest.”
“Do you have proof?” Linsey asked coolly, her eyes locked on Cynthia.
It was the first tCynthia had faced Linsey’s full glare. A chill ran down her spine. Still, she lifted her chin and
stared straight at her. “You've been flirting with Mr. Wells. Everyone at the company has seen it. They just won't
say anything because of your position. If you don’t believe me, ask around.”

“What exactly did I do to flirt with him?” Linsey pressed, unfazed.
“You smile every tyou see him!” Cynthia blurted, her voice rising with confidence. “What else could it
mean?”
Linsey let out a laugh, as if she'd just heard a bad joke. “That's it? For your information, Felix and | used to date.
We just never went public.”
“What?” Cynthia gasped, caught off guard.
Linsey continued, “And even if we hadn't dated, claiming I flirted just because | smiled is ridiculous. You smile
and joke with male coworkers all the time. Should | say you're flirting with all of them too?”
Her words struck hard. Cynthia’s face turned pale, and her hands trembled. She had no reply.

In desperation, she turned to Kylee. “Look at how arrogant she is! You have to say something!”
Kylee’s brows knitted together.
To her, Linsey was just an orphan with no background, while she and Cynthia cfrom well-known families.
There was no comparison.
Why should they care about what Linsey thought? Who gave her the nerve to talk back?
With a mocking tone, Kylee scoffed, “You act all sweet and innocent around Collin, but here you are showing your
true colors. Isn't that two-faced?”
Linsey’s lips curled into a smile. “Are you talking aboutor yourself?”
“You..." Kylee choked on her anger,

“Why not? If | catch you gossiping
