Chapter 182 I Don’t Need A Ride Anyway!
Linsey’s heart pounded as her eyes darted to Collin’s face. A faint mark at the corner of his mouth confirmed her suspicion
-it had definitely been bitten.
Did she really bite him that hard?
Sensing Linsey’s eyes on him, Collin turned his head.
Linsey quickly averted her gaze, busying herself with her breakfast, feigning indifference.
This wasn’t her fault, was it?
She had already confessed to being a bit clumsy in these situations.
Collin, noticing her evasiveness, couldn’t help but smirk. “It’s nothing,” he said casually to the housekeeper. “Just a little
scratch from a feisty kitten. Nothing serious.”
The maid blinked, a confused look on her face. “Sir, we don’t have any cats, do we?”
“A stray,” Collin replied smoothly. “It scratched me and then bolted.”
“Oh, I see. That’s quite a naughty stray,” the maid commented, completely unaware of the true culprit.
“Indeed,” Collin agreed with a nod. “Playful and troublesome–quite impossible to catch.”
Linsey’s face burned crimson with embarrassment.
That infuriating man! She fumed inwardly. How could he describe her like that?
She quickly finished her breakfast and stood up, making a show of leaving for work.
“Wait,” Collin called out, stopping her in her tracks.
She turned back, her voice hesitant. “What is it?”
“I’ll have someone drive you to work,” he said firmly.
“There’s no need for that. I can go by myself,” Linsey replied hastily, shaking her head.
Collin, however, was adamant. “No. Today… it might not be the best idea for you to drive yourself.”
Linsey frowned, confused. “Why not?”
Collin paused, then glanced pointedly at her legs. “Are you sure about that? Your legs seemed a bit wobbly when you got up just now.”
Collin’s words sent a fresh wave of heat to Linsey’s cheeks, her blush deepening.

and I’m the one…”
She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence, and added stubbornly, “I don’t need a ride anyway!”
But the moment she turned away, she winced.
Why did she feel like she had run a marathon?
