Kyle stood at Alexander's side, casting anxious glances in his direction. Alexander, however, remained
inscrutable, his expression revealing nothing of his thoughts or feelings.
The air around them seemed to grow colder, Kyle thought, as if reflecting the tension between them. He wanted
to say something, to break the silence, but before he could, Alexander had already taken his leave. Left with no
other choice, Kyle hurriedly followed after him.
Meanwhile, with Walter's assistance, Quinn had successfully mastered the operations of the printer. She turned
to him with a smile of gratitude, "Thank you, I've got it from here."
Walter returned her smile with a nod, "Great, then I'll get going." As he left, Quinn watched him go, a thoughtful
expression on her face.
Their interaction, however, did not go unnoticed. Maria, who had cto urge Quinn about sdocuments,
caught the scene and frowned in suspicion. Walter was known for being amiable at the company, but he was
never one to waste ton trivial matters, let alone tutoring the newbies.
Could there be something between them? Maria pondered, then pulled out her phone and texted Freya. Freya
was known to have a soft spot for Walter, and the thought of him attracting attention from other women in the
office was unsettling. She had her informants in the company, and Maria was one of them.
After receiving the message, Freya was so enraged she nearly crushed her phone in her hand. "That tramp! That
temptress!" she cursed furiously. Kaitlyn glanced at her strangely and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?
Why are you so upset?"
"It's that dummy! | can't understand what Alexander was thinking about getting her a job in the office. What's
she good for, if not for luring men?" Freya vented, dropping her pretense and speaking freely without concern.
"What do you mean?" Kaitlyn didn't quite grasp her words. "Did Alexander bring that dummy to the company?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKaitlyn couldn't shake off the thought. She'd always seen Quinn as the black sheep of the Kennedys. It was
embarrassing enough when the dummy first becpart of the family, but for Alexander to take her to the
company and make a spectacle? That was beyond the pale, Kaitlyn thought.
"Seriously, Mom, she's a real piece of work, a troublemaker. Can you believe she had the nerve to flirt with
Walter right there in the office? What am | supposed to do about this?" Freya complained.Kaitlyn shot an irritated
glance at Freya. "Don't let your imagination run wild. In a place like that, even if Quinn had the audacity, Walter
knows better. Stop listening to workplace gossip and tormenting yourself with baseless suspicions!"

"But..." Freya's voice trailed off, her mind replaying the rumors she couldn't dismiss. 'How could | even broach
this with my mother?’
"Enough already," Kaitlyn cut in, "I know Walter. He's not that kind of guy. And you, stop obsessing over men.
Think about it. What does that no-talent dummy have that you don't? Why would Walter be interested in
someone who can't speak?" Freya felt a slight sense of relief at her mother's words, but it was just that, a small
respite, far from peace of mind.
Women's intuition was sharp, especially when it cto matters of the heart. Walter's interest in Quinn wasn't
as straightforward as it seemed. Freya had felt suspicious ever since Walter's first distracted glance at Quinn
during his initial visit to the Kennedys" place.

"I don't want to see that dummy again," mumbled Freya, haunted by memories.
