"Walter givesthe feeling that he doesn't likeand that he isn't interested in The Kennedys' business. It's
confusing. | just don't know what he really wants," said Freya.
Kaitlyn furrowed her brow and asked, with a hint of confusion in her voice, "What kind of nonsense are you
spouting, Freya? Despite his supposed dislike for you, he married you and fathered your children? Doesn't that
speak volumes about his feelings? Perhaps you should seek professional help." She harbored suspicions that
Freya might be grappling with postpartum depression.
Freya's emotions teetered precariously on the brink of collapse. "Mom, don't you believe me? | can sense
whether or not he truly cares for me. Love can be feigned, you know."
Kaitlyn fell into a contemplative silence, her previous certainty wavering in the face of Freya's words. Walter had
always claimed to be an orphan, raised in an institution without the comfort of parents. Yet, his demeanor
seemed incongruous with such a background. They had investigated his past, and indeed, he had grown up in an
orphanage. The director and his peers from the institution all vouched for him. This presented a contradiction.
"Enough of this," Kaitlyn finally said. "If there were anything fishy about him, they would have surfaced by now.
You're spending too much tat home, overthinking things. Perhaps it's tyou returned to work."

Quinn remained stationary, clutching the papers.Maria's irritation grew, and she shot Quinn a glare. "What are
you waiting for? Take them! If you're not here to work, why bother coming to the office?"
She had heard rumors of Alexander's foul mood and had no desire to cross paths with him. After a moment of
silence, Quinn scribbled on a piece of paper, "Where is the conference room?"Maria was taken aback. She
glanced between the note and Quinn, her expression one of shock.
"Are you a dummy?" Maria blurted out.Quinn pressed her lips together and gave a faint nod.
Maria was stunned, as were several other colleagues who now turned their astonished and perplexed gazes
toward Quinn. Their stares felt like needles, each one pricking at her. It was as if her wounds were being slowly,
painfully exposed for all to see. Every look seemed to label Quinn as an outsider, an oddity akin to a zoo monkey
meant for others' amusement.
"The conference room is down the hall to the left, just around the corner," someone kindly interjected.
Quinn shot a grateful look at the good Samaritan before fleeing the office with the documents. However, she
could still hear the echoes of the conversations behind her. "Why would the company hire a dummy? How did
she even get the job?"

"Wouldn't that be something? Even the VP's getting in on the action, just like Alexander?"
"Shh...keep it down, guys. The VP and Alexander are not the same, you know. Walter is married into his wife's
family... | doubt he'd dare do something like that."
The group continued their chatter,
