Victor handed the phone back to Quinn. She glanced at the screen before putting it to her ear."Hello."Quinn’s voice was as cold and indifferent as ever.Xavier felt like he was about to explode."Who are you with?" Xavier struggled to control his temper.Quinn frowned. Wasn't he overstepping?"Xavier, who I’m with is my business. Do you need something? If not, I’m hanging up."Xavier felt like he was suffering from internal injuries."Where are you? I’m coming to see you." Xavier was determined to find out who the man with her was."I’m busy. There's no need to come." Quinn finished speaking and hung up.She didn’t like Xavier’s questioning tone. After all, they were just friends with benefits. There was no need for him to get so involved.Quinn switched her phone to silent mode and tossed it aside."Who was that? Your boyfriend?" Victor asked, testing the waters."Weren’t you hungry? Let’s eat. And from now on, don’t touch my phone. I don’t like it."She was very prote
No man in the world could tolerate his girlfriend checking into a hotel room with another man."The photos are absolutely real. If you don't believe me, you can check the hotel surveillance. That can't be faked."You followed her from the borderlands all the way here. And what did she do? She went behind your back and booked a room with another man!"Xavier snatched the phone from her hand and smashed it against her face."If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Or else, I'll make sure you never speak again."Kimberly winced in pain. She didn't expect this man to use violence against her."What are you saying? You can't be okay with someone cheating on you, can you? You need to man up."After saying this, the terrified Kimberly quickly ran off.Xavier punched the steering wheel.Who was this guy? The way he and Quinn interacted looked far too close for comfort. And it bothered him.He didn't believe she would go to a hotel room with another man. Yet, even just s
"Hello everyone, I'm Victor Compton." Victor greeted everyone briefly, without confirming whether he was the legendary Victor. The truth was, too many people sought him out. He was tired of dealing with them. As a result, he always kept his whereabouts a secret.After introducing him to the project team members, Quinn led him to the office prepared for him."Victor, I hope you won't mind the basic facilities we have here." As a top data analyst, Victor was accustomed to receiving the best wherever he went."Quinny, no need to be so stiff! We go way back, remember? Don't worry. As long as I'm here, there won't be any problems with the data."Was that man your boyfriend?"Victor couldn't help but ask. If he was, then what about their junior who had been harboring a crush on Quinn? That kid had always liked her."No, he's not."Her relationship with Xavier was far more complicated than that. She didn't know how to define what was between them right now.After handing the d
Wasn't it money that Kara wanted?Kara gently embraced him. "Mr. Jowell, I'm not interested in your money. I like you very much." Kara's eyes were filled with affection. This made Maurice feel quite accomplished. He never imagined that at over fifty years old, he would have a girl in her twenties so infatuated with him! Oh, his irresistible charm!"I love you too." Maurice gave Kara's bust a playful squeeze. "This has gotten bigger.""It's all because of your hard work that it's grown so much."Kara got onto the bed, which was heavy with Maurice's musky scent.Men—they all liked them young.Men especially loved young women who were very promiscuous and knew how to please them.Meanwhile, Araminta was fuming after being hung up on. What could be so important that he would hang up on her like that? He had never done this before. No matter how busy he was, he would always explain himself. Could it be that he had another woman?Seeing Araminta's distressed express
Quinn and Xavier were not in a romantic relationship. Why should she care about what Xavier thought?"What's wrong?" Victor couldn't help but ask when he saw that she was lost in thought. "Is it inconvenient?""No, let's go! Didn't you want to go to the bar? I'll take you there."Quinn took Victor to Nocturnal Club, the largest nightclub in Jipsfort. They had been here the last time too.After arriving, Victor ordered a lot of drinks and handed her a glass. "Do as you like."Victor genuinely enjoyed drinking; even when he was alone, he liked going to the bars. Quinn wasn't a prude, so she toasted with him.Soon, Nadia arrived. Quinn introduced the two, and Nadia greeted Victor."Where's Xavier? Why didn't he come with you? You two have been inseparable lately!"Xavier had been by Quinn's side constantly. His absence today did strike her as odd!"Nadia, he and I aren't involved the way you think. He doesn't have to be by my side all the time."Xavier wasn't even he
In the end, Quinn still let Xavier come.Xavier arrived quickly, and as soon as he did, he saw Quinn in the nightclub.The woman was a standout; no matter where she went, she was always the most captivating."Hey!"Xavier greeted Nadia.Seeing him arrive, Nadia smiled. As expected, wherever Quinn was, this man was sure to follow.He really liked Quinn."Hi."Nadia hooked her arm around Quinn's wrist."He really does like you, huh!"Quinn gave no reply. Was he into her? Love wasn't always the driving force between men and women. Physical chemistry often played a more significant role."Quinny, you haven't introduced us yet."Xavier looked over at Victor."Victor Compton, my senior."Quinn was brief and to the point."Hello, Victor. You're her senior, huh? I'm Xavier."Victor felt odd.Xavier, the ruler of the borderlands, was emphasizing Victor being Quinn's senior.No matter how he heard it, it had a sinister undertone to it!Especially since the look Xavier was gi
"Quinny, I want to go to the restroom. Come with me!" Nadia tilted her head toward Quinn and said.Quinn nodded.The two women went to the restroom together.Actually, Nadia didn't need to use the toilet; she just wanted to pull Quinn aside."Quinny, they've both had a lot to drink. I hope nothing goes wrong!"Both Victor and Xavier were people Quinny trusted, so she hoped nothing would go wrong."They'll be fine."Quinn used to enjoy drinking too, but she stopped indulging after her stomach got worse.To be honest, watching them drink made her want to join in as well."Does your senior have a thing for you? It seems like Victor and Xavier are subtly competing.""No way."There was no way Victor liked her."Alright then!""Are you tired? If you are, I can take you home first." If they wanted to drink, let them. They could drink all they wanted."I'm alright. I've been rushing to finish my graduation project these past few days, so I haven't had much time to rest."Nadi
"No need, I can go back on my own. Mr. Kane must have friends here! You go ahead and enjoy yourself." Quinn directly refused.She had no interest in boys like Samuel. They seemed to be too childish for her. She absolutely wouldn't get involved with him.Her rejection left Samuel feeling down and out.Xavier, on the other hand, was ecstatic. It was clear that she saw him in a different light."Quinny, I'm feeling a bit dizzy. Let's go back!" Xavier said, grabbing Quinn's hand.Samuel felt even worse. He had finally found a girl he liked. But in the end, she rejected him outright."Let's go!" Quinn nodded and signaled for Xavier and Victor to leave together.Samuel was left alone. He felt utterly dejected. Seeing the unfinished drinks they had left behind, he sat down and continued to drink alone.Just then, one of his friends caught up with him, stunned to see him drinking the leftovers drinks.Wasn't this young man supposed to have mysophobia?He would never touch anythi
