Chapter 704 Sumner shifted his gaze away, a smile playing on his lips.
Lindsey's grin widened.
They found themselves on the top floor of a mall, where Lindsey's favorite French restaurant beckoned.
She was eager to share its delights with Sumner.
As they sat down, Lindsey looked at Sumner curiously.
"What's your take on Xiomara?" she asked.
's BunnyBookery Sumner hesitated before replying, "Well, I don't really know her well.
We're just friends.
" Lindsey's smile was tinged with mischief.
"Did it bother you that I paired you up with her for the talent show today?" Sumner's eyes widened, and he took a moment before responding, "No, it's not that.
" Lindsey's smile softened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"So, you were just upset?" Sumner found himself at a loss for words, surprised by how easily Lindsey could leave him speechless.
He looked down and nibbled on his lip.
"The food's getting cold.
Let's eat," he deflected, starting on his meal without addressing Lindsey's query.
Lindsey didn't pressure him.
She said sincerely, "Sumner, you're not just an artist at my company, but a dear friend.
If you're facing troubles, don't bottle them up.
Share them with me.
We can work them out together.
Xiomara's a great girl.
It'd be good for you to connect with her more, especially in the upcoming show.
Being an outsider in showbiz is tough.
She could use your support.
And she seems to really care about you.
You should...” Sumner set down his fork, looked straight at Lindsey, and cut her off.
"Lindsey, you are my agent.
I'll follow your professional directions.
But my personal life? That's not part of the deal.
Let's not talk about this again.
Lindsey was taken aback by his frankness.
She realized she'd overstepped, meddling in his private life.
She had no reply to that.
After a brief silence, she spoke softly, “Alright, I won't bring this up again.
But as your friend, I just want you to be happy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnlike other agencies, I don't restrict artists' personal lives.
I believe talent, not a fake image, should be what draws fans.
So, if there's someone special, go for it.
You have my full support.
Sumner gave a quiet chuckle, as if amused by her words.
Lindsey, puzzled, noticed him staring at her with clear, bright eyes.
"Do you really not know who I'm interested in, Lindsey, are you just pretending?" he asked.
Lindsey was struck, her mind besieged by an inexplicable sense of alarm, a voice within warning her of impending seriousness should she persist with her inquiries. So chose to continue to eat.
The air between them grew uneasy and awkward.
Sumner, noticing the discomfort, quietly ate.
His countenance was laden, almost overwhelming.
Post-dinner, they strolled in the mall, b engaging in conversation buto m cautiously avoiding the topic that had just concluded.
