Chapter 465 Chapter 465 You Seem Awfully Flustered Linsey's easygoing smile disappeared in an instant What were the odds? Of all places, she had to run into Carol here.
Still, she kept her cool, her tone steady and professional. "Miss Lawson, you can rest assured that your design will be completed on tand to the highest standard," Beside her, Dolores narrowed her eyes slightly, discreetly assessing Carol.
