"What's the point?" Ryan demanded coolly. "If the decision is theirs, how is it going to help our sales?""I'll say it again. This is neither to increase sales nor to exploit our own employees—I'm offering them the rebates as a reward," Sam explained solemnly. "Regardless of how things will turn out, they've more or less stood with us to surmount this crisis. At this time, we should be rewarding them to better encourage them.""You could just offer them bonuses instead of some elaborate scheme," Ryan schemed."That would instead give them false hopes," Sam replied. "And they'd expect us to pay them a fat bonus whenever the company faces a crisis. Sure, they might be pleased this time, but they'd get unhappy should our rewards fall short. Rebates are the best choice—a suitable reward since it would not lead them to expect too much while making sure that they felt valued.""I concur," one of the board members promptly said once Sam finished.The other board members promptly echoed.

Marvin's tone was a little cold. "I know what to do with my company. You don't have to worry."The way he said it was almost like he felt that Ryan was speaking out of turn, and Ryan could tell that much.So everyone was changing their opinion toward Sam just because he helped Saunderia through the crisis? From Ryan's perspective, it was just a fluke—he would never consider Sam significant!Still, he packed up his belongings and said, "I'm going now.""Yeah."Ryan started to leave but paused at the doorway. "I'm staying over for the weekend since the unit is having an outing.""Yeah," Marvin replied. "Ask Mrs. Watson if there's anything you like."Ryan's eyes flashed coldly—Mrs. Watson was the housekeeper in Saunder Mansion.Whenever he returned before, the family would definitely go all out welcoming him home, preparing feasts and the like. Even Marvin himself would skip work just to see him!And now, they were treating him this coldly?! He was now inconsequential just beca

When Sam was finished with work, he looked up to find Quinn staring at him fixedly.He blinked in return and said, "Quinn?"Quinn came to her senses, blushing right away as she got entranced from staring at Sam. While she never thought him good looking, she found him exceedingly handsome today.That chiseled cheek matched with his pronounced facial features… There was no hiding that masculine charm of his.Could this be beauty in the eye of the beholder?!Quinn's heart skipped a couple of beats, and she could feel it thump even as she pursed her lips.Not wanting to hide her feelings for Sam anymore, she mustered her courage to turn and meet his gaze.Sam could tell that she was acting weird as well—even the way she looked at him was different.He gulped without knowing. Heaven knows how much he wanted to rush up and take her into his arms and never let go.The air in the room seemed aflame just then, until Sam's phone suddenly started to ring.Both Sam and Quinn were sta

Quinn blushed even harder.She had no idea how things stood between herself and Sam as of yet, but it was definitely not at the stage of having children.Sam was getting embarrassed too and quickly said, "You don't have to worry about us—we get it.""I really think you don't," Lindsay huffed. "Your children would be running around now if you did your job!""Mom!" Sam cried, speechless. "Cut it out.""Fine, I'll stop—but I must warn you, Sam, you're not getting a better woman if you lose Quinn. You'd be forever alone, regretting it for life!""I know." Sam snorted impatiently, but he was not arguing the point.Nearby, Ryan was left glowering as he listened and suddenly got up to leave the drawing room.Everyone turned toward him because of his sudden departure, and Sam naturally knew what Ryan was upset about.He turned to glance at Quinn, who was staring as Ryan left.It was just a knee-jerk reaction and nothing else, and when she sensed Sam looking, she promptly turned back

Sam clearly felt his own body shaking—and it was not only him, as Quinn was trembling beneath him too.He was really at the limit of his self-restraint and would have let loose before.He gently approached her even as she stiffened from head to toe, her fingers clenching nervously on the sheets and afraid to release it.She did not even realize how she ended up beneath Sam, only that his breathing was ragged and his heart pounding heavily like thunder.She was actually afraid to touch him, since she felt that he was dangerous just then.Nonetheless, he pressed his lips against hers, his heart thumping even more violently while she clenched harder on the sheets.Their minds went blank when their lips met.Unable to think, the tender sensation between them seemed to plunge straight into their buoyed spirits.So that was what a real kiss felt like.Quinn suddenly remembered the time Sam took her in the car, which was more like mating between base animals. On that occasion, she
