Alexander thought for a while before saying, "I''ll do my best."


    He didn''t give a straight answer, but for Getty, this was moreforting than a definite yes.


    From past experience, the quicker he agreed, the more likely he was to break his promise. A thoughtful response meant he was serious. Getty finally smiled, though her smile was more unsettling than no smile at all.


    Outside, Quinn heard everything.


    She gave a bitter smile and quietly left.


    She hade to say goodbye to Abigail before heading to the filming location but ended up overhearing Getty''s requests.


    Once again, she saw Alexander''s unconditional favoritism towards Getty.


    No matter what Getty asked, he would agree. Even her disfigured face didn''t lessen her importance to Alexander.


    So, why did he insist on keeping her around?


    Quinn couldn''t figure it out. She walked out of the hospital, and the sun was hidden behind clouds. It looked like it was about to rain. She sat in the car, with two bodyguards driving.


    Quinn took out her phone, found Walter''s Facebook, and opened the chat. No new messages.


    His silence made her doubt if he really meant it when he said he''d take her away.


    Her fingers tightened, and for a moment, she thought about leaving on her own.


    But she didn''t dare risk it. If she got caught, she''d never get another chance.


    Quinn sighed, put her phone away, and pushed the thought aside.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Back at the filming location, everyone had arrived except Maya.


    As soon as Ronald saw her, he asked, "Didn''t you go to call Maya?"


    Quinn looked around and frowned. "She didn''te?"


    "If she did, would I be asking you? How could you not bring one person here?" Ronald snapped.


    Quinn exined, "She came in the morning, but you all had left. She probably got tired of waiting and went back."


    Ronald was so angry heughed. "She''s already a handful, and now you''re adding to it. Did you two fight? Is that why she''s not here?"


    Quinn shot back, "She made me her assistant to make things difficult for me, didn''t she?"


    That shut Ronald up. Maya made her an assistant just to cause trouble, and Ronald had approved it. So, it wasn''t really Quinn''s fault. He shared the me too. Ronald got even more frustrated. He put his hands on his hips and paced.


    Then he said angrily, "Stop filming. Do whatever you want. This isn''t mypany. I don''t owe you anything!"


    With that, he kicked a trash can and drove off.
