GoodReadHe seemed like a loving person, but only Getty was privy to the cold indifference that coursed through his veins.
He appeared detached, as though he was an observer of the world, watching the inexplicable highs and lows of
humanity with a dispassionate gaze. His heart was a fortress, impervious to any attempts to breach its icy walls.
"Right, so we're all doomed to face our karma," Getty declared, releasing him and rising to her feet. "If you're
adamant about keeping her at the company, then you need to makea promise."
"Go on," he encouraged. "Every day she's at the office, you can't go hwith her. | can't bear the thought of
her monopolizing your time, day and night. You vowed to stay away from her for three months, a promise you
failed to keep!" Alexander reclined in his chair, massaging his temples. "What makes you think I'll keep my word
this time?"
"Exactly my point. How can | trust anything you say? Like when you promised to take care offorever?" Getty
shot back. Getty had long since realized that promises were merely his excuses. The weight of a vow? To him, it
was nothing more than a convenient pretext for doing as he pleased.
With a challenging arch of his brow, Alexander retorted, "You're under no obligation to believe me."
Choking on her frustration, Getty responded, "Fine, I'm done arguing. Can Quinn at least helpmove my
stuff?"
Alexander fired back, "Ask her yourself. If she's agreeable, | have no objections."
But Getty, undeterred, placed the intefrom his desk in front of him and asked in a flirtatious tone, "Come
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton, | want you to ask her. You can't denysuch a small favor, can you?"
Alexander glanced dismissively at the phone in her hand. "What are you moving?"

"Just spersonal items. Don't worry, | wouldn't dare burden your wife with heavy lifting!"
The word 'wife' slipped through her clenched teeth, striking a nerve with Alexander. His expression darkened. In
a swift movement, he snatched the phone from Getty's hand and dialed the intercom.
Meanwhile, Quinn was diligently picking up discarded documents from the trash can. Regardless of Alexander's
motives for bringing her into the company, she had resolved to give it her all.Even if she gained just a smidgen
of knowledge, it would add a dash of excitement to her otherwise mundane life.
When the phone rang, she answered promptly. Alexander's voice cthrough, "Help Getty move her stuff."

With that, he hung up, leaving Quinn holding the receiver in surprise. Shortly after, Getty sauntered over in her
high heels, tapping Quinn's desk, "Heard that? Let's move my things."
Quinn looked incredulously at the phone. Alexander had actually instructed her to assist Getty. With a tight-
lipped smile, Quinn set aside the receiver and gestured, 'What am | moving?"
