Chapter 1000
She found herself instinctively widening her eyes as well.
She saw Lindsey, now in a sharp black suit with a crisp white shirt underneath and black high heels, her steps echoing through the office.
But the biggest surprise was Lindsey’s hair, which had been cut to a chic shoulder length, swaying with each step she took.
For some reason, Nancy couldn’t shake the feeling that Lindsey, after a few days away, had returned with an even sharper and more commanding presence.
“Lindsey, you’re back!” The employees stood up excitedly at the sight of Lindsey.
“The new hairstyle looks amazing on you.
”
“Thank you,” Lindsey responded with a polite and charming smile to those who complimented her.
“Linds!” Nancy quickly approached, gently took her arm, and examined her from different angles.
“You look different now, Linds.
I think this style suits you better.
”
With a warm smile, Lindsey replied, “Nancy, thank you for all your efforts recently.
”
Nancy casually said, “It’s all for the company.

How have you been lately? How is your mom?”
She was aware that Juanita had regained consciousness, but with Lindsey away from the office these past days and herself swamped with tasks, she hadn’t managed to visit Juanita just yet.
“Let’s talk in my office,” Lindsey suggested.
She led Nancy to her office and shared all the recent developments, including the events at the Walsh Group’s celebration.
Nancy, being her closest friend and business partner, deserved to know.
Nancy’s face moved from calm to shock and then to anger.
“What did you say? Your boyfriend… Oh no, Domenic is the CEO of Vitality Group?!” Her disbelief was palpable.
Lindsey pressed her Lips together and then said, “Yes.
”
“Oh, my goodness, I always suspected something was off with him, but I never imagined he was concealing something so significant! Feigning innocence-is that like a hobby for these wealthy young men? Or do they just find it entertaining?”
“Perhaps,” Lindsey responded nonchalantly.
She hadn’t shared much about Domenic with Nancy.
It was his private affairs, and she preferred not to disclose them.
Besides, she wasn’t even sure if his tales were true, making it pointless to discuss further.
Observing Lindsey’s detached response, Nancy slammed her hands on the desk, frustrated.
“Lindsey, you’ve been deceived financially and emotionally, and yet you don’t seem upset at all? What’s going through your mind?”
Lindsey looked at her.
She was indeed angry but felt powerless.

She had already spent considerable time calming herself down about this issue.
“I’m upset, but what can I do?” Lindsey gazed at Nancy.
“He’s the CEO of Vitality Group, a giant in Morcastle’s commercial realm.
He has the power and status to overshadow us completely.
What can I do? Confront him? You know, he could shut down our small business.
”
Nancy was taken aback by Lindsey’s realism.
She understood, yet it infuriated her to see her dear friend deceived Like this when, in any other situation, she would have confronted the culprit directly.
But this was no ordinary man; this was the formidable CEO of Vitality Group!
“So, are we just supposed to accept this? Are you really okay with letting it slide?” Nancy asked Lindsey, looking for her reaction.
Lindsey’s expression darkened momentarily before she forced a smile and jokingly said, “It’s fine.
Honestly, I didn’t lose anything being with him these past few days.
Let’s just say I had some fun with a handsome guy.
And in the future, I can boast to others that I slept with the CEO of Vitality Group!”
