Quinn stepped into the bustling conference room, a bundle of files tucked under her arm. The room was already
brimming with people, the majority of the executives required for the meeting already assembled.
With a polite knock, she entered, causing a ripple of surprise to spread through the room as every head turned to
look at her. 'Why the change? Wasn't it always Getty who cbefore?’ they silently questioned. Ignoring their
curious stares, Quinn kept her gaze lowered and began to distribute the documents, one by one.As she
approached Alexander, he glanced up at her. His gaze was inscrutable, like a deep, dark pool threatening to
swallow her whole. She avoided his eyes, placing the papers before him before moving on to the next person.
"I haven't seen you before. Are you new here?" A middle-aged man scrutinized Quinn, his eyes lingering on her.
She was undeniably captivating, possessing a charm that could ensnare a man.
He was close enough to observe her flawless skin, untouched by makeup. He could almost see the fine pores on
her face. The natural light pouring in from the window gave her complexion a rosy, translucent glow, as if her
cheeks were so soft one could squeeze water from them.
Quinn remained silent, moving on to the next person without a word. The man was irked by Quinn's dismissive
behavior, though he didn't show it. Instead, he resolved to learn more about her later. As he contemplated this,
he felt a sharp gaze on him.
He traced the gaze back to its source and found himself meeting Alexander's deep, dark eyes. Alexander's face
was expressionless, but the man felt as if he was being seen through. He quickly looked away, pretending to
study the documents before him.

desk than Maria dumped a pile of papers for her to sort.
"Get these organized and make a spreadsheet," Maria ordered curtly. Their department wasn't particularly busy.
They were technically 'President's Secretaries," but their roles could just as easily be described as 'low-rungs."
Only the Secretary Manager and Kyle had real access to the company's core operations.
Maria had essentially dumped the entirety of the department's workload onto Quinn.Quinn had no choice but to
accept the work without complaint, so Maria didn't bother to discuss it further. She handed off the task and
sauntered off to the break room.Ever since Getty's departure, their days had becsignificantly easier.
Getty had a tendency to parade around the office as if she owned it, chastising anyone caught slacking off. She
was quick to take names and dock pay, as if it were her personal mission. The resentment towards her simmered
among the staff, but no one dared to confront her. After all, she had Alexander's backing. Who would even
support Quinn?’ they wondered.
To Alexander, she was practically invisible, never acknowledged, leaving her without the influence and respect
that Getty had enjoyed. Alone in the office, Quinn began to sort through the files, keeping a careful eye on the
clock. She needed to finish in tfor her hospital appointment.
Meanwhile, Maria was playing it cool as the middle-aged man with the water cup greeted her on his way
in."Maria, got tto kill today?" he asked with a chuckle. Maria smiled back, feigning amusement. "Caught me
in my rare moment of downtime. If Getty hears about it, there goes my bonus for the month."
