Quinn said heartlessly, "It's getting late, and I need to head back. You'd better think of a way to deal with it."Xavier grabbed onto her hand and refused to let go. "No. I don't like to be alone." Quinn said in exasperation, "Let go of me. How can you calm down if you keep holding onto me?" He should be keeping his distance from her now."No," he refused bluntly. Xavier didn't mind Quinn being aware of his desire for her. In fact, he already had a strong desire for her in the first place. It was an urge that made him want to pounce on her at any moment. Wasn't pure lust the most primal attraction between a man and a woman? "Are you feeling better now?" Xavier didn't ask why she was in a bad mood. A woman as guarded as her wouldn't easily share such things with another person. "I'm feeling much better." Quinn genuinely felt a little tired after sweating it out during the intense match. She just wanted to go back and get a good night's sleep.Seeing that Quinn was tired, Xav
Ian still hadn't gone to bed when Xavier returned to the villa. He was lounging on the couch and playing games. "Xav, how was it? Where did you guys go on your date?" Ian asked curiously as he played his video game. Xavier had never been in a relationship before. Ian was eager to know where someone like him would go for a date."After some street racing, we went to a boxing gym," Xavier answered. He saw a bottle of red wine on the coffee table and grabbed a wine glass before pouring himself a drink. "What?" Ian was astonished. His surprise slowed his movements, and caused him to lose the game. "Who would take their date street racing and to a boxing gym? Is she really that wild?" Ian wondered. Quinn was clearly a stunning beauty. Why would she choose such activities for a date? Moreover, Xavier had returned home looking positively smitten with her. "What? Do you have a problem with that?" Xavier demanded, taking a sip of the red wine. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down se
"Good to see that you're scared," Quinn said with a smirk. Her smile only made Gerald more terrified. He had been tormented by the things he had done five years ago, so he hadn't slept well last night.He was afraid that Quinn would take revenge. However, he was also reluctant to leave the Jowell family. If it hadn't been for him, Araminta and Kimberly wouldn't have been able to become a part of the Jowell family so smoothly. He would absolutely not allow them to kick him to the curb and enjoy a good life themselves.Kimberly frowned when she came downstairs and saw him. "Gerald, didn't I tell you? You're getting old. Go back to your hometown and have a good rest. ""What's going on?" Araminta was unaware of the situation.Kimberly answered, "Gerald is getting on in years. I want him to go back to his hometown and enjoy his retirement." Gerald knew too much. Keeping him around would only affect them. "I see! Gerald, you've been working for us for over 20 years. I won't treat
Nonetheless, the bodyguards refused to let Gerald in. Unwilling to give up, he tried to force his way in but failed.The bodyguards had disliked him long ago. When Gerald had worked as butler for the Jowells, he had always flaunted his power and bullied others. Now, they wouldn't let him off easily. Meanwhile, Quinn saw Xavier waiting outside for her when she left the villa. She was at a loss for words. Had Xavier gotten up so early in the morning just to wait for her? Xavier personally opened the car door for her. "Are you going to Four Seasons Incorporated? I'll take you there." "Xavier, you really don't have to do this. I don't need it," Quinn said.She had indeed felt aroused by him last night, or perhaps it was the atmosphere that had made her simply lose control of herself. However, it was just a fleeting lapse of judgment. Xavier said, "You haven't bought a car yet, right? The company is on my way, so don't overthink it." Quinn planned to go to Dudore after finishing
At that moment, Xavier's eyes darkened with desire. Was Quinn doing it on purpose? "Don't you have a meeting you need to attend soon? Don't seduce me; otherwise, I might even consider doing it in the car." After all, he had no limits.Quinn shot him a sidelong glance. Could he not overthink things? She continued chewing the donut balls and ignored him completely. She didn't want any more after eating five donut balls. She didn't have much of an appetite in the morning."Are you not going to eat anymore?" Xavier frowned. How could her stomach get better if she ate so little? "That's enough." Quinn wasn't used to eating a heavy breakfast in the morning. Xavier took out a packet of milk, inserted a straw, and handed it to her. "Drink some." His voice was very gentle, as though he were coaxing a disobedient child. The sight of Quinn's red lips sucking on the straw had a strong impact on Xavier. His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily as he swallowed. In his mind, she wasn't bitin
Gary said in a mocking tone, "Ms. Lewitt, your project is impossible to complete. Meanwhile, the project I'm in charge of is a major one for the company, and my team has over 20 people. "You should find another meeting room. Oh, all the other project teams are having meetings today, so it seems like no other rooms are available. How about you guys have your meeting at the employee cafeteria?""You…" Luna was furious. "What about me? My project team generates billions in revenue for the company." Gary believed that Maurice would side with him even if he showed up. He continued, "That's enough. You should go to the cafeteria quickly. We need to start our meeting soon. Don't waste our time any longer." Ryan stepped up to defend Luna when he saw her getting bullied. "Don't go too far. The project we're working on is also an important project." "That's right. Don't try to intimidate us. We're also employees of Four Seasons Incorporated. Why can't we use this meeting room?" someo
At that moment, Luna and the other team members felt like they had chosen the right person to follow. Regardless of Quinn's abilities, she was willing to back them up and protect them fiercely. "Alright, let's start the meeting." Quinn didn't waste much time and started the meeting. The members of the project team began presenting their plans and discussing their feasibility. The five new members were fresh out of university. They were indeed talented, but they still lacked experience. They grew nervous at the sight of Quinn's expressionless face as they reported their findings. Luna also noticed the issues in their presentation. Although she had only just graduated, she had participated in many projects during her university years. She said, "Ms. Jowell, they've just graduated from university. It's normal for them to have some weaknesses." Young people needed to be given an opportunity to grow. No one was born knowing everything. However, they had to secure this project imme
"Eat up! Have some more." Xavier's heart ached at the thought of how Quinn never ate much whenever they had their meals together. He took out some cutlery and handed it to her.Quinn's heart fluttered for a moment when she saw the wounds on his hand. Instead of taking the cutlery, she gently blew on his hand.Xaiver's fingers curled as his heart clenched. "Are you feeling sorry for me?"Quinn actually had a soft heart. "No." She took the cutleryfrom him and started digging in.The meal was nutritious, but she didn't have much of an appetite. Xavier served her a bowl of nourishing soup. She only had a few sips and didn't eat much of the food."Don't like the food? I'll switch to a different nutritionist." It could only mean the nutritionist wasn't good enough if Quinn ate so little.Seeing Quinn stop eating, Xavier took the cutlery and lunchbox from her to finish the remaining food.He then cleaned it up.When he saw that she was sleepy, he adjusted her seat."Go ahead and t
