Love Unspoken

With a silent sigh, Walter released his hold on Quinn's chin. "Forget it," he murmured, his voice echoing in the quiet room.

Rising to his feet, he added, "I'll visit you another day. Chandler's issue is still unresolved." His words hung in the air, and Quinn felt a wave of relief wash over her.

As Walter moved towards the door, he paused and turned to look at Quinn. "Shouldn't you be seeking out Alexander to inquire about Juliet's whereabouts?" he asked, his tone casual.

Quinn was momentarily taken aback, her response caught in her throat.A chuckle escaped Walter's lips as he exited the room, not bothering to look back.

Left alone, Quinn remained seated in the room, her hand rising to tap her forehead in thought. Her gaze fell on the phone resting on the couch. Walter had left it behind.

She wondered if it was an oversight or a deliberate act. Her eyes remained fixed on the phone for a long while before she finally reached out to pick it up.

She dragged the progress bar to the end, revealing Chandler's enlarged face. The sight startled her, causing her to drop the phone in shock.

The realization hit her hard - Walter had indeed killed Chandler.Ignoring the throbbing pain in her head, she snatched up the phone and made her way to Kennedy Enterprise. Upon reaching the office, she knocked lightly on Alexander's door. "Come in," came the familiar voice from within. At the sound of his voice, Quinn pushed the door open and stepped inside.Alexander was engrossed in some documents, not lifting his gaze as she entered. Quinn quickly moved to his side, her eyes fixed on him.

She clutched her phone, unsure of what to ask.

Should she question him if he had played a part in Chandler's death, or why he hadn't come to her rescue?But she had no right to ask.After a moment, Alexander glanced at her, his voice calm as he said, "Speak if you have something to say." Quinn looked at his familiar face, a sudden wave of emotion causing her eyes to sting.She held her phone tightly, unable to voice her questions.

Finally, she lowered her gaze, slipped the phone into her pocket, and gestured, asking about Juliet."How's the project going?" he asked.

Quinn bit her lip, she had expected him to deflect.She raised her gaze and gestured, "Why? Juliet was just an innocent old woman. Why did you have to make things difficult for her?"Alexander abruptly stood up, taking a step closer to her."Me, make things difficult for her? Quinn, I've told you before, after our divorce, I have no obligation to look after your affairs or the people around you. She's gone now; do you think I'm the one who made things difficult for her?"

His imposing presence overwhelmed Quinn, causing her to involuntarily step back. She lowered her gaze, her eyes fixated on his belt, too afraid to meet his eyes.

Suddenly, two slender hands lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his cold gaze."Quinn, are you using Juliet's name as an excuse to get close to me?" Alexander sneered, "Can't you live anymore?" The words pierced her heart. Despite their divorce, hearing such words from him was unbearable. She hadn't realized that, in his eyes, she had become such a despicable person. They were divorced, and now she was trying to get close to him because she couldn't go on living.

That was what he must be thinking. Whether it was shame or anger, she pushed Alexander's hand away and gestured, "I quit." Before she could finish her gesture, Alexander grabbed her arm and pushed her onto a chair. Her phone slipped from her pocket, the screen lighting up to reveal the video. Quinn was exposed in front of Alexander.

She hurriedly grabbed her phone and put it back in her pocket. Alexander leaned in close, his familiar scent filling the air. "So dedicated?" Quinn looked up into his eyes, anger welling up inside her. She gestured, "You told me to go." "You can't listen to anything else I say except when I ask you to accompany a man." He pinched her chin with his fingers, his voice light and airy. "Why are you so despicable?"
