NovelEnglish"I was just helping Alexander look for something," Ruby clarified, her voice laced with laughter. "It would have
been polite to knock before entering, don't you think?" Quinn's lips tightened into a thin line as she cast another
glance at Alexander.
His expression was slightly marred by a frown, yet he chose to remain silent.
Lowering her gaze, Quinn extended a dossier towards him, laying it flat on the desk before her. She paused
momentarily, then exited the office with measured steps. Ruby's eyes followed Quinn's retreating figure until she
was out of sight. She then turned her attention back to Alexander, who was studying her with an intense gaze.
"Is there something on my face, Alexander?" Ruby asked, lightly touching her cheek.
Alexander's gaze lingered on her face just long enough to stir a sense of unease within Ruby.
Suddenly, he averted his eyes, his voice laced with ambiguity. "Keegan, focus more on your work."
Caught off guard, Ruby's smile wavered, but she quickly regained her composure. "Understood." With those
words, she exited the office, the click of her high heels echoing behind her. Once outside, the warmth of her
smile was replaced by a colder, inscrutable expression. Quinn sat in front of her computer, lost in thought until
the screen faded to black.
"Hey, it's tto call it a day," someone tapped on her desk.
Jolted from her reverie, Quinn nodded in acknowledgment and began to pack up her things. Suddenly, her phone
buzzed with a new message.
Upon checking it, she found a brief text from Nicholas.
[A family member is in the hospital.]
The message included the hospital's address and the room number.

Quinn froze, instantly aware of the individual the message referred to.
Without wasting a moment, she grabbed her belongings and dashed out of the office.
Hailing a cab near the office proved challenging due to the crowd, so she jogged a bit further to order a ride
through her phone app.

As she waited, a light drizzle began to fall, soon dampening her hair.
Suddenly, a Bentley pulled up beside her. The window rolled down to reveal Alexander's face.
With one hand on the wheel, he tilted his head to look at her.
"In such a hurry? Get in."
Quinn stared at him for a few seconds before shaking her head and gesturing, "I'm busy." "Busy with what?"
Quinn bit her lip, gesturing again, "I'm on my way to see Juliet in the hospital."
Alexander's eyes narrowed, his voice turning icy. "I said, get in!"
Quinn stood in the misty rain, her fragile form a stark contrast to her stubborn, pleading eyes.
The man seemed not to hear her, his voice remaining cold. "Don't makerepeat myself."

door and obediently slid into the seat.
She hoped her compliance would soften his demeanor.
If she defied him, she feared she wouldn't reach her destination today.

Alexander glanced at her, then quickly averted his gaze.
"Forget it," he said curtly, dismissing her silent plea.
Quinn's thoughts raced between Juliet's health and Ariel's attitude, her anxiety mounting.
She pinched his sleeve and tugged again. &
