Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

“Truth is, Lindsey feels inextricably linked to Sumner’s accident,”

Paige countered sharply.

“Sumner adores her.

What’s so wrong about them being together? Besides, Lindsey herself said she feels indebted to Sumner.

As long as she remains unmarried, Sumner stands a chance,” she argued with increasing conviction.

“Once she ends things with her boyfriend, I’ll do everything in my power to unite her with Sumner.

She is the only person I trust to care for our son.

”

Vincent shook his head, unable to see eye to eye with his wife.

“Forcing a relationship rarely ends well.

Have you forgotten what happened to Everleigh? It’s a dangerous path.

”

Paige was adamant.

“I’m doing this to spare Sumner from his mother’s fate! And who says love can’t be nurtured? There are countless cases to prove otherwise! You may not feel as strongly because Sumner isn’t your biological son, but I’ve come to love him as my own.

I refuse to see him sad.

”

“You are too stubborn!” Vincent’s exasperation was evident, but realizing he couldn’t sway his wife, he let out a sigh and chose silence.

After leaving Mercer’s place, Nancy was aware that Xiomara was with Lindsey, prompting her to rush back to the company to address urgent business matters.

The cascade of termination notices from various companies left Nancy feeling overwhelmed.

The negotiation attempt the previous night had failed miserably, with Mercer’s interruption only adding fuel to the fire.

The following day, those companies had sent over termination contracts, demanding an end to their agreements with force.

Nancy massaged her throbbing forehead, feeling the weight of these challenges bearing down on her.

She couldn’t help but wonder who they had managed to upset so soon after their company’s inception, causing them trouble repeatedly.

Could it be Gallop Entertainment again stirring the pot?

How had they managed to convince so many companies to take a unified stand against them? Then there was Vitality Entertainment, a giant compared to Gallop, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

Emilio from Vitality had previously extended a helping hand to Lindsey…

Lost in her thoughts, Nancy was suddenly pulled back to reality by a commotion outside, followed by a series of muffled yet distinct screams from the crowd.

“Is that Mercer Aston? Could it really be him? Oh my God! It’s actually Mercer!”

“Wow, he’s incredibly handsome! How can someone be that good-looking?”

He outshines even the most popular celebrities known for their looks.

“You’ve got to snap a photo of me with Mercer.

I’m going to brag about this.

To think I’d get this close to the nation’s heartthrob singer! This is such a moment for me!”

“And once you’re done, take one of me too! Is my makeup okay? I need to get his autograph.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I’m a huge fan!”

As the office buzzed with excited chatter and the name she recognized, Nancy swiftly opened her door to see what was happening outside.

And there he was, causing her eyelids to twitch in disbelief.

Mercer had arrived, donning sunglasses, trying to blend in yet standing out amidst a swarm of employees eager for autographs and pictures.

Catching the sharp look from Nancy, he glanced her way and arched an eyebrow.

Realizing the impending commotion his presence was causing, yet it was too late to shut the door, Nancy watched as he made his way through the crowd towards her.

He stopped, lowered his sunglasses, and fixed her with an impassive gaze.

With curious eyes all around them, Nancy knew she had to keep things professional, despite her frustration.

She mustered a forced smile, clenched her teeth, and welcomed him.

“Mr.

Aston, to what do we owe this surprise? Lindsey isn’t here at the moment, but I’m here to listen and pass on any message you might have for her.

”

Mercer’s lips curled into a slight smile as he spoke plainly.

“No, my visit is specifically for you, to address some personal matters.

”

Nancy’s polite smile faltered, her expression turning stern.

Noticing the curious glances from her employees, she managed to hold onto her composure.

With a gesture of her hand, she invited Mercer into her office.
