GoodReadQuinn observed him, and before she could utter a word, he swept her off her feet and into his arms. Her arms
instinctively wound around his neck, her eyes tracing the contours of his jawline before shyly drifting downward.
Gently, Alexander laid her on the bed, taking her hand into his to examine it. The scabs on her wrist were
beginning to flake away, revealing the tender, raw skin beneath. He held her hand, a soft look in his eyes as he
studied it for a moment before turning to face her. "Does it still hurt?" he asked.
Quinn shook her head, her expression devoid of any pain. He touched her hand lightly, his eyes radiating a
warmth that seemed almost like an illusion of tenderness. Quinn closed her eyes, unwilling to meet his gaze.
He was always like this. With just a few words, she could deceive herself and then lose herself in the fantasy she
had woven. The air was thick with tension as Alexander watched her reaction.
Suddenly, a jarring ringtone shattered the quiet. He released her hand and stepped away to answer the call.
Quinn opened her eyes and turned to see him speaking in hushed tones, his back to her, before he exited the
bedroom without a backward glance.
She pressed her lips together, reaching for the blanket beside her and clutching it tightly to her chest. Just as she
closed her eyes, a buzzing filled her head. She clutched at her skull, a pained expression crossing her face. The
buzzing was quickly followed by a stabbing sensation, as if countless needles were piercing her all at once.

bit better. Staring at the ceiling, it seemed the sensations were getting worse. She closed her eyes, her arms
dropping lifelessly to either side, the bedroom eerily silent.
‘Alexander must have gone to see Getty again, huh?' Quinn tossed and turned, only managing to fall asleep
when dawn was approaching, and even then, it was a shallow, restless sleep lasting merely a couple of hours
before she was awake again.
The villa was still empty, so she got up to prepare breakfast. After serving two portions, she knocked on the
office door. Receiving no response for a while, she remembered that Alexander hadn't chlast night.

Quietly descending the stairs, she sat at the dining table, sipping her porridge and staring at the plate across
from her, the food in her mouth as tasteless as cardboard. When she was done, Quinn went to the company.
As she entered her department, the people around her gave her strange looks. Maria leaned over the cubicle
wall and asked, "Quinn, aren't you on a month's leave? Back to work so soon?"
Quinn stopped mid-motion and looked up at Maria. Quinn had no idea she had requested a month off. "You're
really one of a kind here," said Maria. "Aside from Getty, who used to work here, you're the only one who could
take a month off so soon after joining."
As soon as Maria finished her sentence, Ruby walked over with sfiles and tapped on her desk. Realizing she
had company, Maria awkwardly greeted her with a nod. "Manager Keegan."
"Get back to work," Ruby said before approaching Quinn again, handing her a document. "Quinn, take a look at
this. If you've got ttoday, please type it into the computer and send it to me, okay?"
Quinn nodded, accepting the files. Ruby was way more approachable than Maria, especially with that last
request-it left no room for argument. Besides, Ruby was her boss.
