Quinn slid into the passenger seat of the car, and Orion took the wheel, steering them towards her office.
On the way, they made a pit stop at a breakfast joint where Orion bought breakfast for her.Returning to the
vehicle, Orion presented her with the breakfast.
"You probably didn't eat last night," he said, "This will have to suffice. We're nearing your office and tis not
on our side."
Quinn's gaze fell on the coffee and a handful of bread slices cradled in her hands. She intended to express her
gratitude, but Orion had already set the car in motion.
She let the moment pass, choosing instead to take a bite of the bread.
As she chewed, her eyes were drawn to Orion. His face was a blank canvas, a stark contrast to the smile that
had played on his lips during their movie outing the previous night. That smile had been absent since dawn.
Her thoughts strayed to the dogs and Alexander, and the bread in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
"We've arrived," Orion announced, turning his head towards her. "You head in first. I'll return and tend to the
remaining matters. If you need anything, just dropa message."
Quinn studied his earnest face, bit her lip, and nodded in agreement. Clutching the remnants of her breakfast,
she pushed open the car door and stepped out.
Upon entering the company premises, she surveyed the lobby with a hint of bewilderment. She rummaged
through her bag and retrieved her notebook for reference. Fortunately, she had noted down the location of her
office. She located her ID card in her bag, used it to gain access, and rode the elevator straight to the top floor.

her.
As Quinn was pondering, Hollis pointed to her hair and chin. "You look unkempt. Did you oversleep and forget to
freshen up?" Hollis teased.Quinn's gaze lingered on her face for a moment. She couldn't recall who this woman
was, and her notebook offered no clues. If Hollis knew her but she couldn't remember, it was likely she had
forgotten her.

Quinn tugged at the corners of her mouth and gestured, "I forgot."
Hollis's eyes widened in shock. "You... can't speak?" Her surprised exclamation echoed through the floor, drawing
the attention of the others.
They turned their heads, their curious and puzzled eyes all focused on Quinn. The wave of attention made Quinn
feel as though she was under siege.
Hollis seemed to grasp the situation and quickly apologized in a hushed tone, "I'm sorry, | was just taken aback. |
didn't mean to."
Quinn lowered her gaze and refrained from further gestures. She made her way to her office.
Hollis quickly caught up, her apologies flowing freely. "I'm really sorry. | didn't mean to upset you. Please forgive

Quinn presented him with a piece of paper. On it, she had written, "I want to resign."
Kyle touched his nose, appearing somewhat uncomfortable. "If you wish to resign, you'll need to speak with «
Alexander. Isn't he here?"Kyle pointed behind her.
