After dealing with a batch of documents, I stretched and planted to get up and move around. I went to the pantry to make coffee
He called out to me, “Mi. Hinton”
“Can I help you?” I asked. He wore a grave expression.
“Miss Terell attempted suicide. Did you know?” he asked me after looking around to make sure no one else was listening
I was shocked and asked without thinking “When did this happen?”
Finn said. “The night before the press conference, Mr. Madden wanted to meet you. Miss Terell was supposed to take an overnight flight to Nordia, but she slither wrist in the washroom at the airpon. When she was discovered, she was unconscious and was rushed to the hospital. She was in the emergency ward for the entire night.”
In order not to leave Quinn, Diana did everything she could.
She was even willing to bet her life on it.
If she won the bet, she could stay by his side. If she lost, Quinn would remember her for the rest of his life.
Diana was madly in love with Quinn. I admitted defeat w

Tared at Jin expressonlessly and said coldly. “Why are you telling ane this? Quins and are alreaily divorced. If Dhians told you to come look for

“Thank you” I smiled and left with my coffer.
Quinn dadu’t come to the offer for the
few stays. I guessed that he had been keeping Diana company in the hospital
had to earn more if I wanted to give Benedict a better life.
I didn’t have time to think about him. I focused on my work.
On Friday, the person in charge of the Digiling Posjet aived at Enu bester.
I went through a bit of trouble to secure a disinier appointment with him.
When I entered the private mom
I was stumped. Archinesl–looking man wearing gold–timed glasses stood up with a smile and greeted me, “You’re Ms. Hinton, rigat When you called me, you should have told me that you’re Quinn’s wife.”
The mum was Jess Bird, the person in charge of the Dazzling Project
Unfortunately, his casual way of speaking was somewhat inconsistent with his refined appearance
Í collected my thoughts and walked into the private room. I smiled and shook Jess’s hard. “Mr. Hard, nice to meet you. Also, allow me to exten you. Mr. Madden and Lare divorced”
The Dazzle Group was a foreign company and was new to the local market. Jess had been overseas all these years and probably did not know the latest update about me and Quinn. I figured I had to address the misunderstanding as soon as possible
Jess was
is very surprised when he heard this. He turned to look at Quinn and said, “Fuck! Bro, you’re mean, you sadn’t inform me both when you got married and when you are divorced. I thought we were very close friends!”
After he said that to Quinn, be turned around and explained to me with a smile, “Sis, we’re university roommates,”
I was speechless.
Who gave him permission to call me Sis!
Now I knew why Quinn was so confident about the Dazzling Project. It turned out that he was very close with the person in charge of the project.
When he handed this project to me, I had spent six months researching it devotedly.
Quinn’s face was gloomy. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Jess. He said, “When you get a divorce. I’ll host a party for you.”
I’m not even married yet and you’re already planning for my divorce? Quinny, you’re so mean?” Jess punched Quinn’s shoulder playfully.
Quinn glanced at him coldly, Jess immediately stopped playing around and faked coughing to regain his composure.
“Since the two of you are having a reunion, I’ll take my leave first. Mr. Bird, we’ll talk about the project at the next meeting,” I said politely and planned to leave the room.
“Sir down Quinn suddenly said.
I stopped in my tracks and instinctively looked at him.
His eyes narrowed, and he was emotionless. He said condescendingly. “Natalia, you now represent the Madden Group,”
as right, I sat down obedierily
Jess was undoubtedly a social butterfly. He could come up with various topics to talk ab
about even in this very awkward situation.
Frame here for a ladness meeting, beat this was actually just a classmate gathering between Jess and Quinn. I sat at the sale and slid not say a word as I listened to Jew recall their university days.
He even made a toast to Quim whenever he recalled something interesting
Although Quem didn’t say much, he clinked glasses with jess without hesitation. They drank one glass after another and emptied a few bottles of engubite red wine in the blink of an eye.
In the end, Quinn was so drunk that he collapsed on the table.
i drunken smile, “Quim always gets drunk very easily when he has something on his mind. Sis, please
