Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Mrs. Riley, What Brings You Here

Outside the door, there was a tense pause before the cautious tone of Collin’s subordinate pierced the silence. “Mr. Riley,

there’s a pressing matter I need to discuss with you.”

The subordinate couldn’t shake the feeling, his thoughts racing. Was Mr. Riley out of sorts because of the long hours? Why

did his voice seem so strained?

On the other side of the door, Linsey’s cheeks burned with embarrassment.

The study was Collin’s sanctuary, a place where he immersed himself in his work, and she had just interrupted him.

The realization that she had possibly hindered his tasks made her stomach twist with regret.

“Well… you should get back to your work. I’ll… go prepare something for you to eat. You can enjoy it whenever you’re free,”

she stammered, her words faltering under the weight of her unease.

Before Collin could respond, Linsey spun on her heel and dashed away, her heart pounding.

The subordinate, still waiting outside, jumped as the door suddenly swung open. He stood frozen, momentarily caught off guard, not expecting that his boss would open the door for him.

But his surprise deepened when he saw who it was.

“Mrs. Riley, what brings you here?” he blurted out, his voice laced with bewilderment.

As far back as he could remember, Collin’s study was a fortress of solitude, strictly off–limits to outsiders. Even the servants, tasked with tidying the room, were required to schedule their duties well in advance.

Oddly enough, Linsey, despite being Collin’s wife for mere days, was free to move in and out of the study without

restriction.

Attempting to maintain decorum, Linsey found herself at a loss for words.

Her eyes, darting anxiously, shimmered with the vestiges of recently withheld tears, revealing her inner turmoil.

After a palpable pause, she nervously bit her lip and told the subordinate that Collin was inside before retreating hastily.

The bewildered subordinate stepped into the study, his gaze immediately colliding with Collin’s stern, contemplative visage

looming from behind an imposing desk.

Unbeknownst to him, his intrusion had ruined the moment. The image of Linsey’s reddened eyes haunted him briefly,

sparking a cascade of speculation.
