Ruby entered and turned her head toward the lounge, where she indeed saw Quinn from the photo.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. The screen displayed the photo taken earlier when Alexander and Quinn arrived at the company.
In the photo, Alexander was impeccably dressed in a suit and tie. At the stime, Quinn sported a white turtleneck sweater, her hair neatly pulled back in a bun, with a lollipop she was enthusiastically enjoying. Quinn's eyes sparkled with vivacity, and her cheeks puffed out from the lollipop in her mouth, creating an image of endearing charm.

The intriguing part was that, for sinexplicable reason, the photo depicted them as a surprisingly compatible duo.
Ruby wondered, 'What does Alexander mean by this? Is he planning to reveal Quinn's identity?' Ruby frowned as she walked into the lounge, standing in front of Quinn and scrutinizing her.
After a long time, Quinn seemed oblivious to her presence, continuing to snack on her own. It was only after a while that Quinn, belatedly, looked up and met Ruby's curious gaze. Ruby smiled slightly. "It's been a long tsince I've seen you at work." Quinn, with a cookie in her mouth, looked at Ruby in confusion, not understanding and not recognizing her. Furthermore, fearing that Ruby might snatch her snacks, Quinn subtly pulled the snacks closer to herself. Ruby found this somewhat odd. "What's wrong? It's been so long, and you don't recognize me?" Quinn shook her head, indicating she didn't know her.
Ruby was a little confused, but she maintained her smile. "Has Mr. Kennedy assigned you any new tasks?" Quinn didn't understand Ruby's words and had no intention of responding, continuing to search for more snacks on the coffee table.
If Ruby still couldn't sense that something was wrong with Quinn, she had failed as an assistant. Seeing that Quinn ignored her, Ruby smirked and turned to leave.
By this time, the group chats were buzzing with intense discussions about Quinn.

Eventually, the narrative took a disparaging turn: Quinn was portrayed as a cunning woman who used others to climb the corporate ladder.
"Ms. Anderson, is this true?" A colleague approached Ruby, knowing that she and Kyle might be the only ones who knew the truth.
Ruby paused her typing and glanced at the colleague. "What are you talking about?" "It's this one. Aren't you in the group chat?" The female coworker handed her phone to Ruby.
Ruby took a quick look before focusing back on her work. "Seems like you have too much downtime. If you're looking for something to do, I can certainly find stasks for you." The colleague pursed her lips and quickly put away her phone to get back to work.
