"It’s hard to tell when you’re wearing so much, how about going ho to check?"
lody Thorne "..." pretended not to hear it.
"No more using guns in the future," Jared Quinn searched her body, only letting her go when he found no gun.
lody Thorne was a bit confused; one man wanted her to use a gun, another forbade it. Clearly, both n were ruthless, yet their decisions were different.
lody Thorne bypassed Jared Quinn and walked towards the ward.
Jared Quinn was filled with anger again; he had asked so much, yet she didn’t ask him anything in return.
For instance, why did he bring Sheryl Lancaster to Quinn Corporation?
At Quinn Corporation, Leon Rivers was having a hard ti holding on. In reality, he used his usual tricks with won, but he only had about ten or so in total; switching one every ten minutes, two hours was almost enough to cycle through them all.
But two hours had passed, and Jared Quinn still hadn’t returned, while Harold Chapman sat across, like a stone, just sitting there. After handling the won, he didn’t even have soone else to fill in.
"Why hasn’t it ended yet?" Sheryl Lancaster was starting to feel anxious.
She knew Jared Quinn’s etings usually lasted a long ti, but it had already been two hours; this must be the longest eting yet.
Caleb hadn’t called her again, so she managed to delay Jared Quinn for two hours, right?
"Recently, Quinn Corporation’s stocks have been sowhat unstable for so reason, so all the major shareholders are in the eting room. They might need another hour," Leon Rivers invented an excuse.
This was getting easier for him to lie about.
However, Sheryl Lancaster actually believed it when she heard about Quinn Corporation’s stocks. She was only collaborating with Caleb, but she didn’t know his true intentions.
"What’s wrong, Miss Lancaster?" Leon Rivers narrowed his eyes upon seeing Sheryl Lancaster’s reaction. Being around Jared Quinn for years, they were incredibly ticulous in their thoughts.
"No, nothing."
Leon Rivers and Harold Chapman exchanged a glance, seeing that Sheryl Lancaster indeed knew sothing.
"I’ll go see if Jared’s finished the eting; I’ll bring so tea over," Sheryl Lancaster got up from the sofa, determined to go in no matter how they tried to stop her.
"Miss Lancaster," Harold Chapman and Leon Rivers stood up to try to stop her again.
Just then, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
"Jared, have you finished the eting?" Sheryl Lancaster imdiately bead with a smile, jogging over excitedly, almost leaping onto the man.
Jared Quinn slightly shifted his body, sowhat disdainfully avoiding Sheryl Lancaster’s motion, casually making his way into the office.
Harold Chapman and Leon Rivers both sighed with relief; he finally ca back, or they wouldn’t have been able to cover it up any longer.
"Thirsty?" Sheryl Lancaster followed him in, quickly pouring him a glass of water.
Her hand awkwardly froze midway as Jared Quinn disliked being touched by others, including his cup, preferring everything prepared by Secretary Su.
"Shall I have Secretary Su pour you another one?" Sheryl Lancaster awkwardly smiled.
"No need," Jared Quinn took the cup Sheryl Lancaster offered and placed it on the table.
Though he still didn’t drink it, Sheryl Lancaster was overjoyed as he at least accepted the cup from her hand.
Seeing the man no longer showing his usual repulsion, Sheryl Lancaster daringly took his coat, helped hang it up neatly. Jared Quinn, instead of stopping her, allowed it.
Letting her beco bolder and bolder.
ps: Jared, you might be besieged today, a wave of male abuse is coming your way~
