Love Unspoken

In the midst of his actions, Alexander halted, his gaze shifting upwards to meet Ruby's. She stood there, the picture of composure, her lips curved into a professional smile as though she were merely navigating through routine business affairs. "What's your opinion on this?" Alexander challenged her.

Ruby blinked, her response measured and calm. "Alexander, I was merely bringing potential issues to your attention. The final decision, of course, lies in your hands."

"Then you'll follow my instructions."

"Very well." Ruby gave a slight nod of acknowledgement. "I'll proceed with granting her an additional month's leave."

"You're dismissed."

Ruby turned on her heel to leave the room, but not before casting a final glance back at Alexander. His eyes were lowered, his attention once again absorbed by the document in his hands. Silently, she closed the door behind her. Not long after Ruby's departure, Kyle entered the room to update Alexander on the situation with Leon.

"Leon's embezzlement has been confirmed. He's returned a portion of the money and has been sentenced to seven years," he reported.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Anything else?"

Kyle hesitated before adding, "There are rumors circulating around the office that Quinn was my recruit, and I..."

Kyle's intention was to give Alexander a heads-up, hoping to avoid any scandalous rumors that could potentially lead him down the same path as Leon.

"I understand. You're dismissed," Alexander said, not even bothering to look up at him.

Relieved, Kyle nodded and made his exit.

Outside, he ran into Ruby, and they exchanged a few pleasantries.

"Kyle, Alexander has asked me to process an additional month of leave for Quinn."

"Thanks for that," Kyle replied, his tone indifferent.

Ruby's gaze lingered on his face, a smile playing on her lips. "You're welcome. Does this mean you owe me a favor now?"

Kyle returned her smile. "Of course. If there's ever anything I can assist you with, don't hesitate to ask."

"That's good to know. I won't hesitate when the time comes."

Ruby had her answer and felt no need to inquire further. After a few more polite exchanges, they parted ways, each returning to their respective duties.

Meanwhile, Quinn was gradually recovering, visited by her doctor every three days for check-ups, spending most of her time in a state of semi-consciousness. The doctor finished his examination and gave a nod of approval.

"Quinn, your cold is almost completely gone, and your wounds are healing nicely. However, you're still weak, so you must avoid catching another cold." "Given your current condition, the consequences could be severe."

Quinn looked up at the doctor, nodding before presenting him with a piece of paper.

On it were two large words, "Thank you."

Every time the word "Doctor" was mentioned, it brought a smile to his face-not in mockery, but in endearment. He found something quite charming about the way Quinn held up the pieces of paper.

The desk was strewn with several notes, phrases like "thank you," "you're welcome," and "sorry for the trouble"-common courtesies of everyday interaction.

"Quinn, try to stay positive, alright? A good mood can do wonders for your recovery," he advised.

Quinn pursed her lips, her gaze shifting to the television.

The screen was flashing entertainment news, boasting about a show with a two-billion-dollar production budget, an all-star supporting cast, and Getty-the lead-garnering all the attention amidst the galaxy of celebrities. Alexander was certainly generous with Getty. While Quinn could barely scrape together enough money for cab fare to the hospital, he was investing billions into Getty's showbiz career. Getty was out there living the dream, acting out, causing trouble without a care in the world.

In stark contrast, Quinn was stuck doing menial tasks, washing dishes, and enduring disdainful looks at the company.

The doctor's words only served to upset Quinn further. After some thought, he pulled out his phone and opened a video. "Hey, Quinn, take a look at this."

Her eyes moved from the screen to his phone.

The video showed a compilation of funny pet antics, including a dancing puppy-it was unclear whether it was edited, but it was certainly entertaining. As she watched the videos, the corners of Quinn's mouth involuntarily lifted into a small smile.
