Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 It’s A Secret

Linsey found herself drawn into Collin’s deep, soulful gaze, her heart fluttering at the affection she saw in his eyes.

She felt a soft tug at her chest, but after a brief pause, she pouted playfully. “I know you’re right, but… I can’t help it. Emotions have a way of spiraling out of control.”

Collin’s smile softened as he took a moment to reflect. “You’re right. It’s my fault. We met at the wedding, and since then, we haven’t really had the chance to just… be us. No real dates, no time to get to know each other outside of everything else.”

He thought for a second, then brightened. “How about this weekend? If you’re free, I’ll take you somewhere–somewhere that’ll let you get to know me better.”

Linsey raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Where are you taking me?”

With a playful grin, Collin leaned in just slightly and whispered, “It’s a secret.”

He gave her nose a gentle tap, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

The more Linsey thought about it, the more intrigued she became. Collin was keeping a secret, and the mystery of it all made her even more eager to find out what it was.

“Somewhere to help me know you better?” she mused aloud, her mind racing with possibilities.

Maybe it was a special place from his childhood, a secret spot he had kept to himself for years.

Her curiosity only grew with every thought. “There are still a few days until the weekend. Are you holding me in suspense on purpose, Collin? Trying to see how eager I’ll get?”

Collin’s grin widened, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “You’ve got it. I am doing it on purpose. Instead of letting you overthink, I’d rather leave you with just a little bit of suspense. That way, you’ll spend the days looking forward to it, not worrying about what it might be.”

As expected, Linsey spent the next few days consumed by thoughts of where Collin might take her, her earlier sadness now

a distant memory.

The next morning, she went about her usual routine, preparing for work.

When she arrived at the office, she barely had time to step through the door before she heard the excited murmur of her colleagues in the distance.

As she entered the office, she noticed a cluster of coworkers gathered around, their faces alight with excitement, their eyes

Another colleague sighed dreamily. “Even if I don’t get to design for her, just getting her autograph would make my day.”

As the group continued to gush, the door to the meeting room swung open. Coen stepped out, accompanied by Kylee, both of them smiling warmly.

“Mr. Fuller, I’ll be personally overseeing the design you’re working on this time,” Kylee said with a warm smile, her tone smooth but firm. “I trust the designers in your department won’t disappoint me. After all, I’m here with the utmost sincerity. If your design helps me shine on the red carpet, it’ll be a win for both of us.”

Coen nodded eagerly, his enthusiasm evident. “Of course, Miss Russell! You’re absolutely right. We’ll have the design draft ready for you today. You can count on us to get it just right.”

Kylee’s smile softened at his response. She was clearly pleased.

She turned, ready to leave with Coen by her side, but then her gaze caught Linsey standing among the crowd.

Her steps faltered for a moment, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. Without missing a beat, she stared directly at Linsey

and asked, “What are you doing here, Linsey?”
