Chapter 23
Quinn
The ride home was quiet, with none of us saying anything. Fleur just focused on riding and didn’t spare me a glance. As much as I wanted to hit him. I knew he was right. Playing cat and rat won’t make her love me back, it might even aggravate her.
And then there was Veronica in the picture, I don’t love her anymore but that didn’t mean I should throw her away. She was once my first love. It was just getting more complicated.
“Don’t drive home, drive to the company I said to him.

He did a U–turn and drove in the direction of the company. Maybe work would soothe my nerves, I thought.
The conference was happening tomorrow, it would only be right to make final checks.
We reached the company. And I walked straight to my office with Fleur, ignoring the employees greetings
I sat in my office, twirling the chair while thinking of arrangements for the conference, it had to go well. Fleur laid on the sofa, sighing continuously
“Tch, what’s up with the sigh Fleur? Just be silent like you were in the car.” I said.
He ignored me, walked towards the fridge in my office and collected an apple.
“Im trying to work and you’re meant to assist me not eating apples.” I said, my voice cold.
But it didn’t move him. “Do the work yourself, I’m tired.” He said, yawning
I shook my head, sometimes I wondered if I was the one who employed him or
“Call me the head of the planning department.” I said.
He ignored me.
“It seems you don’t want to get that sports car again.” I said in a low voice.
Hearing that, he grumbled and stood from the sofa before leaving the office.
“So childish.” I muttered.
Few minutes later, he came back with the head of the planning department.
it was the reverse.
“Hope everything is set I don’t want any one to make silly mistakes. This contract is a huge one, the conference has to go well.” I said coldly,
“Yes sir, everything is set. The wares has been packed into the company’s van, and the logistics department has assigned people to transport the wares to the venue.” He replied
“Not only the wares, the venue for the conference must be well organised. Any flop tomorrow, consider yourself and your team fired.” I said calmly,
“I’ve double checked everything air, hopefully it’ll go well. He said, gulping
“Good” I said.
The man hurriedly scampered out of my office.
“You scared him” I heard Fleur say
“That’s how it’s meant to be 1 said.

“Seriously dude, you really wanted to slap me? You couldn’t just tap me gently, chn! Tell me, what are we?” He asked, spreading his hands dramatically and faking a hurt expression
“Quit it, it doesn’t suit you. You look like a zombie.” I snorted coldly.
“I hate you.” He said, wiping pretend tears from his eyes.
“And I love you too.” I said.
“Ecceww, gay!! Stay the f*ck away from me.” He said, moving backwards.
“With all pleasure. Quit your drama and let’s go home.”
On the drive back home, thought’s of Ana filled my head. I suddenly remembered something, Veronica had been acting strange. She leaves the house earlier these days.
“Fleur, any updates? Is Veronica up to anything?” I asked
“No, she only goes shopping, to the spa, to visit her mother and for girls night with her friends. But I find her suspicious.” He said,
“Continue keeping an eye on her.” I said.
I was such a fool, I picked a woman who had rejected me and left me heart broken for three years over a woman who loved me. My chances of winning her back were very slim, she already had a child, probably for Terry
I could see how close they were, but there wasn’t a ring on her finger. Any time we had an encounter, I always checked her fingers. Maybe she just had a child for him, but wasn’t married to him, I thought.
Or the child was not Terry’s but another man whom I did not know of 1 always wanted to ask Moon, but it would be seen as stupid and insensitive.
This meant I had a chance, to prove that
nurove that I loved h
I her. But how! I asked myself. She wouldn’t even have a proper conversation with mr. She talks to me like I was a stranger.
I didn’t blame her though, I brought this upon myself. For three years, I showed her no care and mistreated her. I divorced her because Veronica, who I had fallen out of love for
The day I gave her the divorce paper, I could see the pain in her eyes. I remembered Fleur words and sighed, I could have treated her better even if I didn’t love her then.

Apologizing was out of the question, I don’t know how to apologize to her to make up for those years.
Fleur, what would you do if you were my shoes?” I asked him.
“Hmmm, I would bite your feet.” He said, chuckling. I threw him a glar
He turned serious, “You really hurt her Quinn, you really did. Remember I warned you then, but this is no time to regret. If you want her forgiveness, you have to put it in action. Show her, let your actions show that you’re sincere, show her you really mean it. About love, I don’t know if she would love you back. But make a move first.” He concluded
I looked at him gratefully, my eyes filled with determination.
