“Understood.” Sam then swiped a look at Quinn. "Sir, there are now two trending posts about you, should we take them down?” Quinn frowned. "What's the matter?" “The missus was a little careless during a meeting and accidentally cast her display on the screen during..." Sam coughed before relaying what the secretary told him to Quinn. In truth, this was also Sam’s first time seeing the boss’ body in its full glory spread on the internet… While he was still speaking, Quinn had already gone on social media and saw the viral post in question. He became so infuriated that he laughed when he saw what Jenna said about him in the group. He pressed the spot between his brows. “Take them down. Delete the video in the company group chat as well. You don’t have to come back after you finish dropping off the package at Lance Corporation, just drive back to Sparrow Garden.” Sam understood what Quinn meant. He grunted and left the office. Jenna was always on his phone so it was l
Quinn narrowed his eyes, then returned to his bedroom to fetch something. After that, he stood behind Jenna in the tea room and placed the necklace right under her nose.Jenna looked at the opened pendant and frowned. “You can cherish it privately. Why are you showing it to me?”Quinn took off the photo in the pendant and flipped it.Jenna saw a young man with a gentle smile. His features looked quite similar to Quinn's. “This is my brother, Pete.” Quinn pointed to the man. “The necklace belonged to him.”Jenna was shocked. She looked at the photo and then turned her head to stare at Quinn. “He bought this couple’s necklace with Ivy after they got married.”Quinn raised his hand and rubbed Jenna’s chin. “Before he died, he passed the necklace to me. He wanted to put his photo with Ivy and for me to keep it. I got the photo studio’s boss to put it in place after cutting the photo according to the pendant’s size.”“Even so, Ivy should be the one keeping this necklace. Why did h
Jenna could not remember how they got back to the bedroom. Quinn’s body was hot. Every touch made her feel as though she was on fire. The phone on the bedside table vibrated non-stop. It was as if the caller would not give up until someone answered. Quinn held Jenna by the waist. When she got up, she saw the caller ID from the corner of her eye. Suddenly, she felt a little annoyed. She avoided Quinn’s lips, turned off his phone, and threw it in the drawer. Then, she leaned down to kiss him. Quinn noticed her actions but said nothing. Instead, he bit her moist lip and chuckled lightly.The next day, Jenna woke up when the alarm rang.Perhaps due to the cool temperature in the room, Jenna did not feel hot even though she was lying against Quinn’s bare skin. She leaned lazily on his chest, feeling a sense of reliance. She never thought she would be hugging a man while having a comfortable sleep. Jenna snuggled against his chest, her eyes half-closed. Thinking of the work she
Before the Radcliff family’s downfall, she would not even blink when she spent a few hundred thousand on a jewelry auction. After meeting Quinn, she got a limitless card. Jenna had no concept of money. Quinn held a glass of water and looked at Jenna. “Add up your salary and calculate how long it’ll take for you to save eight million.”Jenna subconsciously calculated her annual salary. As she just started at Elysian, her salary was on the level of an intern. Even after she was confirmed, her annual salary and bonuses would not amount to… Thirty thousand. Jenna was stunned and felt that she made a mistake. “Is it that hard to make money?”Quinn smiled. “What did you think?”Jenna was speechless.“Miss, go wash your hands.” Aunt Lily had prepared the eggs benedict and put it on a plate. “Mr. Forester, how about an omelet for you?”“Sure,” Quinn replied and sat himself down at the table. Jenna washed her hands with a heavy heart, then returned to the dining table. When she saw
Quinn did not raise his head. He said, “You’re not going to touch the eggs benedict anymore now that you’re eating the porridge. It’s not easy work for Aunt Lily to make breakfast.”Jenna was speechless.He certainly did not think of the servants’ hard work in Sparrow Garden!Jenna’s ears went red when she saw him take another bite.After finishing the bowl of porridge and half an omelet, Jenna rinsed her mouth and applied lipstick.Since Quinn was also done with breakfast, they went out together. As they were close to each other, Jenna saw countless missed calls pop out when Quinn turned on his phone. The new messages and social media notifications nearly overloaded the phone.It seemed all the missed calls came from Ivy. She had called Quinn more than ninety times last night.Quinn did not bother with the missed calls and messages. He opened his WhatsApp and checked on an executive group.Seeing his indifferent response to all the missed calls and remembering how she tur
As they talked and kissed beside the car, Sam wished he was invisible. Nonetheless, he could only watch. After Quinn got into the car and closed the door, Sam could not help but laugh when he saw the mark on Quinn’s lips through the rearview mirror.He cleared his throat, trying to hide his amusement. “Ma’am seems quite… lively lately.”Sam was in charge of it back then. He watched as Jenna overcame the trauma of her family going bankrupt and her grandmother’s death. Then, she had been reserved while living in Sparrow Garden.She seemed much happier after moving to Sandalwood Palace. Her relationship with Mr. Forester also became harmonious.Sam did not know how to express what he saw.They used to merely live under a roof like a superior and his employee. Now, Jenna was intimate with Quinn. It was as if she was standing by him.“Are you planning to preach to me early in the morning?” Quinn raised his brow, coldly glancing at Sam.“I wouldn’t dare.” Sam put aside those thought
A few days later, Old Madam Forester called her. While chatting, Jenna got to know a few more of Quinn’s favorite dishes.She practiced those dishes with Aunt Lily until she was satisfied with their taste.If Quinn returned by the afternoon, she could prepare dinner for him.Jenna rubbed the edge of her phone and looked at the message she just sent. While lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard someone calling for her.“Jenna.”Jenna raised her head to find Miss Brown walking toward her. She put down her phone and stood up. “Miss Brown, is there anything I can help with?”“Manager Whitefield from the North City subsidiary called me. He brought his team to Brogavia for business negotiation, but while waiting for the flight, the translator he brought with him suddenly had severe gastritis…” Miss Brown rubbed her temple and said helplessly, “He had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery and is staying there.“Other than him, the only translator who knows Serbian is you. Get yo
Quinn’s status was at ‘typing’. Soon, she received a message.Quinn: [Ask Kevin to go with you.]He must not have seen it.Jenna was relieved and replied okay. His message came in as soon as hers was sent.Quinn: [Go downstairs to receive a package later.]The next second, her phone rang.“Hello?”“Good day. Is this Miss Jenna?” It was a polite male voice. “You have a package. Are you at your company now?”“Yes. Give me a second.” Jenna pushed her chair away and hurried out of her office.When she reached the lobby, she saw a deliveryman in a uniform standing next to the receptionist counter. He had a beautiful shopping bag in his hand. Jenna walked toward him. “I’m Jenna. Is this for me?”“Oh, yes.” The deliveryman quickly handed the shopping bag to her and two delivery slips. “Here. Please sign this for me.”Jenna just received Quinn’s message and knew he had sent it. So, she signed the delivery slip without hesitation.“Thank you.”“You’re welcome.” The deliveryman wa
