Ingrid was surprised. She wondered why they were coming for Ned.
She didn’t think it made sense. The Fletcher family was indeed famous in Oceanford. However, they had no connection to a world–class luxury branded company like Norwalk Corp.
Linda was curious.
“Be honest with me. Did you know Simon was the second son of the Norwalk family when you saved him?”
Ingrid was bewildered.
“What? Did I save him? I don’t even know who he is!”
Ingrid seemed to recall something as soon as she said that. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She had a suspicion, but she was reluctant to bring it up.
“He mentioned he was looking for Ned’s girlfriend, so maybe… he knows Ned? I’ll call Ned
later to ask him about it.”
“No!”
Linda frowned.
She continued, “Simon knew I was your manager and asked me to thank you on his behalf. He
said you saved him in Ica seven years ago without leaving your name.
“Before he passed out, he saw your boyfriend stop you from giving him CPR and pull you up. You were angry and called out your boyfriend’s name. He also noticed your Oceanford College uniform. He didn’t know which school it was, so he could only search for you based on Ned’s
name. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“After all these years of searching, he finally found you! Before he left, he said he would like to grab a bite with you if you’re free over the next few days.”
Ingrid tightened her grip on the script. Ned was still a couple with Angeline seven years ago. If it happened in Ica back then, Ned must have been there to accompany Angeline to a
competition.
Linda also had her speculations when she noticed Ingrid’s uncomfortable expression.
She asked softly, “Did Simon mistake you as the person who saved him? Is it possible that… it was Mr. Fletcher’s ex–girlfriend who woke up from a coma?”
Ingrid bit her lip.
“Ms. Davis, let’s turn down this endorsement! Simon got the wrong person!”

“Turn it down? My dear Ingie! You know what an endorsement from Norwalk Corporation means, don’t you? This is your chance to rise to the top! Becoming the ambassador for Norwalk Corporation will help you reach the pinnacle of your career!”
Linda leaned in, gripping Ingrid’s shoulders.
She added, “Ingie, it may sound a bit unethical, but… since Simon’s looking for Ned’s girlfriend, he’s looking for you. You were also one of the top students at Oceanford College!”
Ingrid hesitated.
“But…”
“Mr. Fletcher’s ex–girlfriend isn’t in the entertainment industry! She doesn’t need this opportunity.”
Linda quickly put down the water bottle and tried to convince her. She feared the possibility of Ingrid turning down the offer due to her strong sense of morality.
“Become their ambassador first. I’ll make sure your schedule is packed during this period. Simon won’t stay in the country for long. Let’s not have you meet him yet. Once the contract is signed, you can explain to him when you see him that you’re not his rescuer. What do you think?”
What mattered the most to Linda was securing the ambassador deal. She wasn’t asking Ingrid to deceive Simon but merely delay revealing the truth. After all, Simon was the one who mistook Ingrid as the person who had saved him.
The sight of Ingrid’s furrowed brows and struggling expression made Linda squeeze Ingrid’s shoulders firmly.
“Ingie! This is your chance to shine! You need it! We’ll reveal the truth after the contract is finalized!”
