Chapter 260

Judging by Linda's tired look, Eric surmised she had been overworking during her shoot.

"Are you okay?" Eric inquired, his voice filled with concern. "Maybe you should consider getting some rest after you get home."

"I wish I could," Linda responded, shaking her head. "I have to attend an event tonight. Just drop me off on your way."

Eric frowned slightly. "Why are you packing your schedule so tightly?"

"It's just the way things are," Linda explained with a resigned shrug and a wry smile. "Everyone's striving to get ahead in this industry."

"You shouldn't have to overextend yourself," Eric said. He then quickly added, "You're already well-positioned compared to many."

His tone carried a note of protectiveness that didn't go unnoticed. Linda paused briefly, offering a faint smile in response.
