Quinn was a bit surprised. ''Alexander''s looking for me?''


    ''Why now?'' she wondered.


    Kyle didn''t give her a chance to ask. "Please finish your meal ande over here ASAP, or Mr. Kennedy mighte looking for you himself." Quinn felt uneasy. Before she could ask more, Kyle hung up.


    "What''s up?" Helen asked, concerned.


    Quinn put her phone away and forced a smile. "Nothing, let''s eat."


    Helen gave her a suspicious look. One call and Quinn''s mood changed; something was definitely up. But Helen didn''t press.


    Quinn quickly finished her meal, returned her tray, and headed to Alexander''s office.


    Having been there many times, she found it easily and knocked on the door.


    "Come in," Alexander''s voice called.


    Quinn opened the door and saw Alexander by the window, hands in his pockets, back to her.


    She paused, then walked over. "What do you want?"


    Alexander turned, looking down at her. The sunlight made it hard for her to see his face clearly.


    He stared at her without a word.


    She lowered her head to avoid his gaze. "If there''s nothing, I''ll get back to work."


    As she turned to leave, he grabbed her wrist. Her pupils contracted, and the next moment, her back hit the floor-to-ceiling ss.


    She looked up and saw Alexander''s face. He was now in the sunlight, his face almost glowing.


    Just a heads up:  is the only ce to read theplete version of this book for free. Don''t miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!


    He leaned in and lifted her face with one hand.


    Quinn''s heart raced. What was he up to?


    His face got closer, almost kissing her.


    She tried to push him away, but he pinned her wrist against the ss.


    "What are you doing?" she shouted, angry. He''d been behaving for days, and now this.


    Their lips were almost touching, but he didn''t move closer.


    Finally, he spoke. "Walter can kiss you, but I can''t?"


    Quinn understood.


    She recalled what happened in the car and realized that if the bodyguards outside had seen it, it would have easily led to misunderstandings. But it wasn''t a misunderstanding; they were just as close as she and Alexander were now.


    "Aren''t you going to exin?" Alexander asked coldly.


    Quinn met his gaze and found it amusing. "Exin what?"


    Alexander squinted, silent.


    Quinn said, "We have no rtionship now. Why should I exin anything to you?"


    "No rtionship?" He pulled out a document and showed it to her. "Does this count as no rtionship?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Quinn saw the title "Marriage Certificate" and her eyes widened.
