NovelEnglishUpon hearing Alexander's words, a surge of indignation swelled within Quinn's heart. It felt as though she was
drowning, gasping for breath in a sea of accusations.
Alexander was a formidable adversary, always quick to cast blher way, and she was perpetually defenseless
against his onslaught.
Quinn averted her gaze, her words failing her. What was the point of engaging in a futile argument? Alexander's
stare was relentless, his inscrutable eyes seemingly intent on consuming her whole.
The atmosphere in the room grew progressively colder, a chill of dread settling in Quinn's bones. She attempted

wrong with your mouth?" Kyle inquired. Alexander nonchalantly wiped his mouth with his thumb, dismissing the
concern with a simple, "It's nothing." He then reclined in his chair, his gaze shifting to his two visitors. "What's
going on?" Kyle exchanged a glance with Ruby, realizing that their reasons for visiting were not the same.
He gestured for Ruby to speak first. Ruby presented Alexander with a stack of documents. "These are the
procedural documents for the merger with Kennedy Enterprise's international company. They need your
signature," she explained. Alexander flipped through the documents, instructing her to return for them the
following day. Ruby hesitated before responding, "He said he needs them today.
The process has already reached this point, and he wants to complete it as soon as possible in the next two
days." Alexander's gaze shifted from the documents to Ruby's face. "Ruby, how's working under Landon? Is
everything going smoothly?" he asked, catching her off guard.
