"Why the hell would be propose that? Did you accept?" Ivan asked after Quinn had narrated what transpired between her and her cousin."I didn't say anything. He asked me to think about it. I don't know what to do, Ivan. If I successfully get The Gerald's Conglomerate to partner with our family company, then, we could prove to Grandfather that we are capable of running the company. This is a huge opportunity for us, Ivan.""No, princess. You will do no such thing. Don't you know who you are dealing with? George Kendrick! He is corny and definitely has something up his sleeves. Don't fall for his games, princess. We will find a way to get the company and prove to Grandfather that we are capable," Ivan stated, trying to make her see his view.She sighed and walked away. She returned to her room and began to think of what to do.George was only acting as the CEO, so that meant that Grandfather was still managing most of the company's affairs. She was convinced that her grandfather knew ab
The gloominess on her face did not escape the visibility of others. They all noticed that she was down, and sad. All efforts to make her speak up or even cheer her up failed."Quinn, you have been like this for the past two days. What is wrong?" Kim asked, bringing her lunch."Nothing, Berley. I'm fine, I just have a lot of work to do," she said, focusing on the screen of the computer.Immediately she was done with work, she picked up her bag and left. Harrison watched her through the window and felt hurt."Hardy, if you have sex with someone, and the lady bleeds, what does it mean?" He asked, looking out of the window."It only means one thing; the lady is a virgin." Hardy replied, and soon he asked, "Wait! Did you have sex with—""Do you think I misunderstood her?" He asked, still staring outside until she took a cab home."Well, I have something for you. It's about Ms. Rodriguez."Quinn reached the house, and walked in, ignoring everyone in the sitting room, including her brother.
She served him his usual coffee and read out his schedule. She didn't give him a chance to say anything, she walked out of the office.Making sure that there was nothing that would make her come back to the company or get in contact with Harrison, she printed out the resignation letter and put it inside the envelope."Hmm," she sighed and kept the letter aside. She packed up her bag and made sure that the office was cleared, looking like the first day she came, only that memories would be left behind.However, she did not care. There were only bittersweet memories that she did not want to keep in.She walked out of the office to the cafeteria, since it was lunch break. She did not care if she was breaking his rules, after all, in a few minutes, she would no longer be a member of the company anymore."Quinn!" Kimberly yelled, waving at her to join them.She gave her a signal that said that she was coming. She walked to the counter and ordered just a bottle of water."Hey, guys." She sm
They all watched as Quinn took out a carton box, containing her belongings out of the company. They wondered why she had to leave."Miss Ro, are you really leaving us? Who will deal with the CEO? You do very well that no one can tolerate the CEO more than you do," the sales representative said to her, giving her pleading eyes."You all will be fine, okay? My reasons are quite personal, I can't reveal it to any of you. I just hope you understand, but I will be coming over most time to visit you all. Just do your jobs properly, and there will be no problem. I assure you," she said to all of them, bidding them goodbye, as she turned to leave.Kim ran to her, throwing her arms around her neck. She hugged her tightly, her eyes looking watery as she tried not to cry."Won't you at least tell me what is going on?" She asked for the umpteenth time.Quinn sighed, wishing she could disclose it to her, " I wish I could, Kim. The thing is, it is more complicated than you think. One day, you will
He stared down at the file in Hardy's hand. Just what he wanted. Finally, he would know the truth about Quinn.He snatched the document from Hardy and opened it hastily. He glanced through the papers and pictures. One of the pictures in it was a picture of Quinn and Ivan when they were young. "Her face didn't change at all," Harrison whispered."That is a picture of Miss Ro and her twin brother when they were only five years old. It is true that Miss Ro, indeed, has a twin. They are both siamese twins, that is why they don't resemble, and it is hard to tell." He mentioned, waiting for Harrison to turn to the next picture.Next, was a picture of Quinn's parents. "That is Miss Ro's parents. They died in a car accident and didn't survive it. According to my research, Quinn was just a teenager when her parents died two days after her birthday party. She was blamed for her parent's death because she had asked them to get her a teddy bear, and she had insisted on it. Since then, they live
It was the first day he would be at work without Quinn. He walked into his office with a cold expression. He sat on the swivel chair, going through the book on the table.He stretched his hand to pick up his cup of coffee, but he didn't find anything to grab. He lifted his eyes away from the book, and sighed, as he realized that there was no cup of coffee for him that morning.Soon, someone knocked on the door, and he ushered the person in.It was a dark skinned petite lady who looked like she was in her early twenties. She rushed to the table and placed a cup of coffee."Good morning, sir. I'm so sorry for bringing your coffee late. I was trying to get familiar with—""Who are you?" Harrison cut in, glaring at her.She gulped, feeling the cold gaze on her skin. She cleared her throat and introduced herself."Sorry, sir. My bad. My name is Antonia Thomas, your new assistant." She replied, trying to wear a smile.He gazed at her from head to toe. He didn't say a word. He picked up the
"Berley!" Quinn yelled, running out of the house to meet Kim.She threw her arms over her and hugged her. She went on to give Michael a side hug, as the three of them went inside the house."Hi, Ivan!" Kim said, waving at him. "Hello, Vera.""Hi, you're welcome."Michael shook hands with Ivan and they all settled down."Why didn't you tell us you were coming? We would have prepared something for you guys," Vera said, standing up to go to the kitchen."Ah, never mind. We didn't plan to come today. Michael said we don't just drop by to see Quinn. It's been a while," Kimberly said, smiling."Oh, that's nice. I'll go get you some juice. I'll be back in a jiffy," Kim said and walked away.Quinn sat beside her brother, while Kimberly say with Michael."So, how are you? I mean, really." Kim asked, giving her a "don't you lie to me" look.Quinn sighed, smiling a little. "I'm fine, Kim. I promise, I am.""So, why did you leave? You just left me, us without a word. Even the CEO has not been him
"Thank you so much, for coming! I really appreciate it," Quinn said, walking them out of the house."Of course! You are our friend, and we value you. Sadly, you are not working in the company again. Who will I gossip with?" Kim pouted, folding her arms over her breasts."Save all the gossip. Tell me about them whenever you come around," Quinn told her, and gave her a hug."Goodnight, Quinn. Take good care of yourself," Michael said, waving at her."Bye, Quinn!" Kim said, joining Michael, as he flagged a cab.She smiled and waited until they entered the cab, and drove away."Someone looks happy," Ivan said, hanging his hand over her shoulder.She smiled at him, "of course. Their visit shows how much they care, and that's so sweet."Ivan smiled, and did not say anything. Suddenly, he threw a question at her."Why did you resign, princess?" She turned to him, sharply. Her heart began to race."N... nothing," she replied, looking away. She wished she could tell a lie without having to l
