The Sleeper's Wrath and His Wife's Strike novel Chapter 81

“Wow, Lindsay’s husband is that handsome? I thought she married some old rich guy for his money.”

“Naomi’s never told the truth a day in her life. If my husband looked like that—even if he was stuck in a wheelchair—I’d count myself lucky.”

Tina, who had been listening nearby, rolled her eyes and let out a cold laugh. “You girls need to get real. Someone like Lindsay’s husband is way out of your league.”

If it weren’t for Lindsay, nobody in the Design Department would’ve ever laid eyes on the president of the Quigley Group. Of course, they had no idea that the man they’d just seen was Mr. Quigley himself.

“Whatever. Like I even care,” one of the women grumbled, obviously annoyed, but still clutching her pride.

Tina couldn’t be bothered to argue. She went back to her desk and dove into her work.

At two o’clock sharp, Lindsay returned from lunch, clocked in, and handed Tina a coffee.

“For me?” Tina looked genuinely surprised. After all, Lindsay was Mrs. Lindsay Quigley.

When would a person like her ever expect Mrs. Lindsay Quigley to buy her coffee?

“Yeah. Thanks for helping me out today.” Lindsay knew Yves wouldn't have suddenly shown up at Bloom without someone tipping him off.

And in the whole Design Department, only Tina knew who she really was.

“It was no big deal. Besides, you handled yourself fine. I was honestly impressed.” Tina had prepared for the worst. If Lindsay couldn’t hold her own, she’d planned to step in.

If Ms. Nelson ever found herself in trouble, Tina had always promised herself she’d help, as long as she could.

Lindsay laughed. “They overestimated themselves and underestimated everyone else.”

“No one would guess you could fight like that. You look so delicate, but clearly, you could take on a few more of them and still win.”

She wasn’t exaggerating—Lindsay really was that tough.
