GoodReadA wave of shock washed over Kyle. "I'll have someone clean it up right away!" he exclaimed."There's no need.
Now, what were you saying earlier?"
Alexander inquired, his tone nonchalant."l was referring to Chandler," Kyle clarified, repeating his previous
statement.
Alexander, his fingers cradling a lit cigarette, fell into a thoughtful silence. After a moment, he rose from his seat
and paced a few steps.
He held the cigarette over the ashtray, flicking the ash into the receptacle."As for this situation, if he wants the
world to know the circumstances of Chandler's death, then let's assist him," Alexander declared.Kyle was
puzzled. "Assist him? Wouldn't that only complicate things further?"
Alexander shot him a glance. "Kyle, what would you do if you found a fly in your meal?""I'd complain to the
restaurant owner, but what does that have to do with Chandler's predicament?""Would you patronize that
restaurant again?""No, | wouldn't.""And what if it were a rat instead of a fly?"
Kyle furrowed his brow, a chill creeping down his spine. "Rats? That's impossible... no restaurant would commit
such a blunder!" As the words left his mouth, realization dawned on him. "Very well, you may leave now."Kyle

The office fell silent once more after Kyle's departure. Quinn had intended to crawl out from under the desk, but
Alexander slid his chair over, obstructing her exit.
She bit her lip, eyeing the narrow gaps on either side of the chair. It would be a tight squeeze, and somewhat
embarrassing. Just as Quinn was about to make her move, she locked eyes with Alexander. The awkwardness of
their situation suddenly hit her.
Caught in her predicament, Alexander extended his hand, gently lifting her chin. Quinn froze, but before she
could react, Alexander's cool fingers traced along her jawline and moved to her collar. He hooked his fingers into
her collar, pulling her towards him.
Quinn was light, effortlessly lifted. In her panic, she clung to the man's legs. She looked up at him, her eyes wide
with fear. His gaze darkened, as if something was about to explode.
Quinn recognized this look. She bit her lip and gestured with her hand, reminding him, "We're
divorced."Alexander's lips curled into a smirk, void of any warmth, only cold disdain. "So this is how you seduce
men?"
