Chapter 331:
Irritated, she stamped her foot.
âListen, I might soon be Rhysâ future wife.
How dare you treat me like this? Donât you fear Iâll make things difficult for you later?â
The receptionist gave a slight squint.
âNot afraid.â
Even if there was a chance of that happening, I wouldnât stick around.â The receptionist then resumed her work, putting on headphones and ignoring any further outbursts from Lindsay.
Enraged, Lindsay slammed her handbag down on the counter. The receptionistâs gaze hardened, her narrowed eyes sending a clear warning. Recalling the receptionistâs proficiency in Taekwondo, Lindsay silently retrieved her handbag.
On the upper floor, Rhys maintained his stoic demeanor as he worked. Tentatively, Patrick said, âMr. Green, Miss Morgan is still below. Should Iâ¦â

Downstairs, after waiting for thirty minutes without any invitation from Rhys, Lindsayâs expression was a mix of sorrow and desolation.
âRhys is so cruel! How could he just leave me on his blacklist?â
With a heavy heart, Lindsay left the Green Group, intending to go home, change into something less conspicuous, and vent to Belinda.
Feeling slightly parched, she decided instead to head in the opposite direction for a coffee.
That was when she encountered Wade.
A wave of revulsion washed over her. Useless fool! He had failed to outmaneuver Harlee in a public relations skirmish! Lindsay averted her gaze as though she hadnât noticed him, yet she found herselfâ¦
Unable to completely dodge his presence, Lindsay responded, âLindsay? What a coincidence! Are you here on business as well?â Wade approached with a friendly smile.
âWade,â Lindsay responded with a sweet tone.
As Wade neared, she discreetly lowered her gaze, concealing her contempt.
At that moment, Harlee exited the coffee shop. Lindsay and Wade murmured to each other as Harlee passed by.
âIs that Harlee?â
âWasnât she rejected by the Green family? How humiliating.
