NovelApexChapter 1293:
Linsey’s mind flashed to Collin’s words. “I only landed a few punches, and the guy couldn’t handle it. He coughed
up sblood on my shirt, so | sent him straight to the hospital.”
While she was lost in thought, a colleague’s voice broke through. “Linsey? You okay?”
Snapping back, Linsey feigned ignorance and shook her head. Then she asked, “Is Joanna around?”
The group pointed in unison toward a closed office door.
Linsey’s gaze followed, her brows furrowing slightly as if something had irritated her.
“Are you alright, Linsey?” a colleague asked gently.
“I'm fine,” she replied. “Everyone, back to work. I'll handle her myself.”
“Okay,” they agreed, scattering to their tasks.
Linsey strode toward the office, spotting a sign on the door—Joanna Saunders, Design Director.
The nstung her eyes. Once, it would have broken her heart.

She hadn’t been gone long, yet Felix had wasted no time. Without even consulting her, he had handed Joanna
her position, as if she could be replaced so easily. As if that weren't enough, they had put Joanna’s non the
door for everyone to see.
Linsey couldn’t believe Felix had the nerve to make a woman with no real design talent the director.
Annoyance flared within her, and without a second thought, she ripped down the sign and marched right in. The
timing was almost cinematic.
No sooner had Linsey stepped inside than Joanna's voice echoed through the office, sharp and demanding as she
scolded her assistant.
“Is it really that hard to follow instructions? | asked for less ice! This coffee is freezing!”

Flustered, the assistant stammered, “Joanna, | asked them for less ice. I'm sorry, | can get you a new one if you'd
like.”
Joanna slammed her cup down, her irritation only growing. “At your pace, I'll die of thirst before you're back.”
“Then I...” The assistant began to suggest another solution, but Joanna cut her off, cold as ever. “You just lost
your perfect attendance bonus for this month.”
"Please, Joanna, don't do that!” the
assistant pleaded, panic rising in her
voice. “Last tYay tegk away half

Tears welled up in the assistant’s eyes. As she turned away, she spotted Linsey, and her relief was clear. “Linsey,
