Cody realized he''d let something slip and quicklyughed it off. "I don''t really know the details. I''m just a low-level grunt."


    To prove his point, he even pinched his pinky finger, showing just how small-time he was.


    Quinn smirked. "So, you''re saying they''re even bigger than the Logan Group?"


    Cody didn''t like that. He got serious, "Not exactly. The Logan Group''s got their fingers in more pies. They''re pretty much neck and neck; you can''t really say one''s better than the other." "Got it," Quinn said, smiling like she was onto something.


    Cody was really getting into his role as a small fry. If she didn''t call him out, she''d never get close to the Lynch family through him.


    So Quinn switched gears; the long-term deal needed to be cut short.


    This chat had some breakthroughs. Over the next couple of weeks, Cody dropped by every few days, always bringing a bunch of gifts, trying to win her over with his charm.


    Quinn yed dumb about his real identity and chatted him up a lot, but she still couldn''t get any dirt on Alexander.


    She''d been here for a month, and soon Sprout would be sitting up on his own.


    But she still hadn''t seen Alexander. Since that quick glimpse at the hotel, he was MIA.


    Did he really lose his memory?


    If he hadn''t, he''d have found a way to see her by now.


    Quinn never thought his feelings for her had faded. If they had, he wouldn''t have looked for her during the two years she was gone.


    The more she thought about it, the worse her headache got, and she felt totally stuck.


    They were in the same town, yet she couldn''t see him.


    She''d also had a face-to-face with Bob and the crew, but it was just about money, nothing juicy.


    When Cody came by again, Quinn, acting all satisfied with the product, signed a long-term deal with him. For the next five years, the Mellon Group would buy at least sixty million bucks'' worth of electronic materials from the Logan Group every year.


    It was a pretty sweet deal.


    After signing the contract, it was time for Quinn to blow his cover.


    During a meal Cody invited Quinn to, she suddenly said, "Mr. Logan, I think I saw you yesterday."


    Cody didn''t think much of it. "Oh yeah? Where at?"


    "I was bored and watching videos online. I came across a Logan family shindig, and you seemed pretty chummy with them," Quinn said.


    Cody was caught off guard. He quickly grabbed his water ss, drinking and patting his chest at the same time.


    Once he''d calmed down, Quinn asked with concern, "You okay?"


    He blushed, trying to exin. Quinn grabbed his hand and looked at his watch in surprise, "This watch isn''t cheap either."


    Now Cody was really flustered. He looked at Quinn, totally lost for words.


    Quinn continued, "I chose to work with you because you seemed capable and straightforward. But it looks like you''ve been hiding something from me." She put on a disappointed face, and Cody panicked. He quickly said, "I can exin. I didn''t mean to hide it..."Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
