GoodReadThe situation felt like a punchline to a poorly executed joke. "If you don't believe it, that's your loss," Maria
declared, placing her cup on the table with a finality that echoed her words. She rose from her seat and walked
away, the sight of her stocking-clad legs drawing Leon's lingering gaze. The idea of a dummy as a secretary was
almost laughable to him. He was filled with doubt, yet he couldn't dismiss it entirely.
Maria, however, found herself unable to resist stealing glances at Quinn upon her return. She was well aware of
Leon's intentions, and despite her reservations, she felt compelled to play along. After all, Freya had entrusted
her with the task of "taking care of Quinn."
Seizing the opportunity, Maria approached Quinn's desk and tapped lightly on its surface. "Can you take this
invoice down to the finance department and hand it over to Leon?" she asked.
Quinn paused in her work, glancing at the stack of papers before her, then back at Maria. "I'm not done with my
sorting yet," she protested, her pen still moving across the paper.
"It won't take long, just a trip downstairs. These are from the hotel bookings for Alexander's business trip last
week," Maria explained.
After a moment of hesitation, Quinn accepted the invoices and made her way to the finance department.
Unfamiliar with Leon, she headed straight for the manager's office.
The door was ajar, and she recognized the man inside as the one who had spoken to her in the meeting room. It
was Leon. She rapped lightly on the door, and as Leon looked up and saw her, his face brightened with a
welcoming smile. "What brings you here, Quinn? Con in."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuinn entered, holding out the receipt to Leon. His welcoming demeanor did little to ease her nerves.
Leon, noticing Quinn's silence, saw an opportunity to probe further. He took the receipt from her and scanned it,
his brow furrowing in apparent confusion. "We can't reimburse this receipt," he stated, causing Quinn to blink in
surprise. She looked at him, waiting for an explanation.
Leon understood her confusion and decided to clarify. He stood up, leaned in closer, and pointed at the receipt in
her hand. "You see, the format of this receipt is wrong. You need to get a replacement from the seller."
His proximity was unsettling. His breath, carrying an indistinguishable scent, wafted over her. Quinn held her
breath, nodded in understanding, and tried to retrieve the receipt from his grip.Leon, however, held on. "Since
you're new here, you might not be familiar with our company's receipt format. Letshow you what it should
look like."
He guided her hand to his computer, opening a document. "See here? The margins are incorrect, and the
content overlaps. That won't do."His body was almost pressing against Quinn's back as he spoke, his breath
unpleasantly warm in her ear.

Quinn stiffened and nodded to show she understood, but her reaction only seemed to embolden Leon further.
New employees were all the same, quietly enduring the unwanted attention of their superiors out of fear of
speaking up. Leon played this gexpertly, teetering on the edge of overt harassment but never quite
crossing that line. He did just enough to make someone uncomfortable, and most chose to suffer in silence.
"Leon..."The door, which Leon had forgotten to close, swung open and another employee walked in. The
newcomer paused at the doorway, caught in an awkward situation upon witnessing the intimate scene.
Leon quickly stepped back, creating a distance between him and Quinn. "All right, take this receipt with you and
cback after getting it replaced."Quinn felt a wave of relief and quickly exited the office with the receipt.
However, office gossip spread like wildfire.
