Quinn Forester nodded in President Talbot’s direction and smiled politely. “I heard from my secretary that you organized this meetup, President Talbot, so I came over to take a look.”President Talbot was still in shock.However, Jenna knew that Quinn was wearing sunglasses most likely to avoid others realizing he had lost his sight.Jenna got up and walked over.“When did you wake up? Why didn’t you tell me?” As she asked, she took Quinn’s arm and led him to her seat.The company president sitting to Jenna’s right came to his senses and moved over one seat.Quinn walked steadily over to the seat and placed a hand on the back of the chair. Once Jenna let go, he pulled it out and sat down gracefully.Due to Quinn Forester’s sudden arrival, the private room was completely silent for a long moment.Walter Langham looked at Jenna before he broke the silence with a sneer. “When I asked about President Forester earlier, you said he was still unconscious. Now he’s come to find you and
Once the server delivered the apple and eight darts, Quinn said mildly, “Wasn’t there another ‘four shots of whiskey’ lot in the box? Whoever draws that should be our target. Those who draw lots for one shot of whiskey can be the dart-throwers. Once we’ve managed to find the lucky one who’ll be our target, the game will start.”“Sweetheart, we’ll start from you, then go clockwise.” Quinn tapped the table.At that, President Dickson’s expression changed minutely.“Alright.” Jenna took the box and drew a lot.It said ‘one shot of whiskey’.As their target had not been found, it was useless for her to draw that now.On their second round, Walter Langham drew the note that said ‘four shots of whiskey’. His expression was very ugly, but he could not utter a word. He put on his suit jacket and picked up the apple before walking to the wall opposite the table.From then on, none of the company presidents drew lots with words on it.When it was Jenna’s turn again, she drew a lot with w
“I’m staying with Carina.” Jenna frowned when she saw Quinn looked uncomfortable, but still did not push him away.“What floor are you staying on with Sam?”“Get her to get another room,” Quinn said hoarsely as Jenna helped him into the elevator. “Sweetheart, since I drank those shots for you, please take care of me?”Jenna said not very kindly, “Did I ask you to come here? And I haven’t even asked you why you were still sitting in a wheelchair last night when you already can walk?”“I can walk, but I’m very slow.” Quinn touched her cheek and caressed it. “I can’t let them see that I’m a blind man in a wheelchair, can I?”Jenna brushed away his hand and pressed the elevator button.Carina heard a knock on the door and walked over to open it, barefoot, only to see Jenna with her arm around the waist of a tall man.Taking a closer look, her eyes widened and she asked, “Your husband?”“Yup.” Jenna helped Quinn over to sit on the sofa and turned to Carina, saying helplessly, “Carri
Quinn did not expect Jenna to fall asleep before he did. He assumed that she was probably tired from working so much lately and he caressed her cheek before hugging her tightly.When Jenna woke up, she saw the room was dark. There was a little bit of light coming in from the window.She turned on the bedside lamp and checked the time on her phone.At first, she only wanted to have a short nap. She did not expect that she would sleep until 6 PM.“Are you awake?”Jenna turned and saw Quinn lying beside her, his head propped up on one arm as he looked at her with his dark eyes.His shirt was very wrinkled and the top few buttons had been unfastened, revealing his throat and a small part of his chest.If it were not for his unblinking gaze, Jenna would have thought he could see.She coughed and moved her gaze away from his throat, sitting up. “Why didn’t you wake me up? When we ate lunch, President Talbot said he wanted to play cards in the afternoon.”Quinn chuckled. “I wanted to
That company president looked at President Dickson and wanted to say something, but gave up in the end.He too felt that it seemed like Quinn could not see.Halfway through dinner, Jenna went to the bathroom to clean her blouse because some sauce had stained it.When President Dickson saw that Quinn did not take more food and only drank his tea, this seemed to confirm his guess. “President Forester, why have you stopped eating? Is the food not to your liking?”Once he said that, President Talbot immediately said anxiously, “President Forester, what would you like to eat? I’ll get the kitchen to make it immediately.”“I’m not a picky eater. The food tonight is not bad. You’ve put in a lot of effort for the selection.” Quinn smiled politely.“So that’s how it is. Then, President Forester, you should try the lamb stew.” President Dickson pointed at a dish. “It just melts in your mouth. It’s pretty good.”President Talbot looked in the direction President Dickson was pointing and wa
The business world was full of talents, but Quinn Forester’s ability was unrivaled. Even the older generation was afraid of him.Even when he was still a part of the Forester family, he did not use the Foresters’ money or fame and independently established Elysian Group. In just a few short years, he made it a corporation worth billions of dollars and even established overseas branches, broadening Elysian’s horizons globally.He had a very keen sense when it came to market trends and the projects he invested in never suffered losses.He was said to be the richest man in Hevedburgh, but his actual wealth was probably much more than the public could ever guess.Who would dare to provoke a man like that who was both rich and had such acute business acumen?Just as everyone trembled in fear, Jenna returned.They instantly started pretending like everything was normal. Some went back to eating their food, while others drank their tea.The terrifying air that had gathered in the room
To provide Quinn and Jenna with the best, President Talbot instructed his staff to prepare the innermost, best hot spring for them to soak in. There was even a cozy antique pavilion beside it where they could drink tea and play chess when they were tired of soaking.As it was nighttime, the road leading to the hot spring was dimly lit. However, the pavilion was beautifully illuminated.Jenna helped Quinn into the hot spring, then got in herself.The warm hot spring water soothed every cell of Jenna’s body as she closed her eyes in bliss.She even sighed. “President Talbot has such a good eye to have chosen such a good piece of land.”“Once it’s winter and it snows here in North City, the entire hot spring area will be covered in snow. It would be so beautiful to soak in the hot spring while we watch the snow fall!“Have you come to this resort before?” Jenna looked at Quinn.He shook his head. “No. There’s not much point coming to a place like this alone.”“You could invite you
A voice traveled over before the person even showed up. “Jen!” Jenna spotted Carina approaching with a towel wrapped around her. Carina must have just left another hot spring somewhere else. Jenna called out, “Why are you here? Do you want to join me for a bit?” “It’s alright, that hot spring is too small.” Carina glanced at the hot spring, unimpressed by it. Then, she remarked, “Jen, come on. Let me take you to another hot spring! It’s way larger than this one over here!” “You go ahead.” Jenna glanced at the man sharing the hot spring with her with a docile expression, “Sam isn’t back yet. There’s no one to take care of him if I leave now.” “Sam is already back!” Carina said in a shrill voice, “I'm staying on the same floor as him and bumped into him on the way out. I even said hi to him!” Upon hearing this, Jenna stepped out of the hot spring and went to the gazebo. She found her phone and called Sam. Carina grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Jenna. Quinn glim
