Chapter 302

The Cullinan roared off, leaving Simon in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

His frustration was palpable. He wanted to vent, but in the end, he could only kick his own car in anger.

Kimberly had been calling him incessantly, so he blocked her number. He felt there was nothing left to discuss.

…

Inside the Cullinan, the atmosphere was tense. Although Xavier was clearly in a bad mood, he kept his temper in check around Quinn.

He knew Simon must be regretting his past actions, but Xavier also understood that Quinn wasn't the type to go back to her exes. Nonetheless, Simon's persistence irritated him.

Xavier parked the car by the roadside and took out a cigarette. He tapped it out of the pack and put it between his lips.

Quinn took out a lighter and bent down to light it for him. She felt she owed Xavier for Lisa's incident and wondered how she could repay him.

Xavier leaned against the car window, smoking. His neck looked particularly attractive, and the movement only added to his allure.
