Chapter 1304 Walter leaned back against the desk, clearly dodging the topic. "Ms. Mellon, gotta remind you, it's work hours. If you wanna chat about my personal stuff, we can do that after work," he said with a laid-back grin. Quinn smirked, not really giving a damn about his personal life. She dumped a stack of papers in front of him.
"Check these out. Once you're done, we'll go over them together," Quinn ordered.
Walter chuckled, grabbed the top document, and started skimming. "Sure thing, Ms. Mellon." He dragged out "Ms. Mellon" with a hint of sarcasm.
Quinn acted like she didn't notice. Maybe she should take a page from his book and keep things professional.
While Walter was breezing through the documents, she was slogging through them. She wasn't as quick as Walter, so by the tshe was halfway done, he was already finished.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWalter then broke down the key points and summarized the document, speeding things up. So, she threw another task his way: make summary document.
It might've been a pain for Quinn, but for Walter, it was just another day at the office.
When quitting trolled around, Quinn didn't bolt. She stayed late with Walter, trying to get up to speed with the company's business. Another reason was that she wasn't too keen on heading back to that cold, empty villa. Around eight in the evening, Kyle popped into the office and was surprised to see them still grinding away. The place was dead quiet, just the sound of pages flipping. Only when Walter finished a document did he speak to Quinn.
He was in full-on work mode. His usual laid-back, fake smile was gone, replaced by a serious look.
Seeing them working normally, Kyle didn't interrupt and quietly left.
Looked like Quinn had taken his advice.
Kyle sat on the couch, deep in thought. Walter shouldn't be hurting for cash.
Was Walter planning to take advantage of Quinn's inexperience to slowly take over the company? If that was his game, Quinn could be in trouble.
Kyle scratched his head, frustrated. He needed to find a way to warn Quinn about any potential shadiness.
"Not heading hyet?" Walter asked, glancing at his watch. It was already 9:30.
Quinn checked the ttoo. She hadn't realized how late it was. Felt like she hadn't done much, and it was already so late.
She wanted to keep going, but remembered the doctor's advice and decided against it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe stood up, grabbed her coat, and gave Walter a long look.
"Walter, can I trust you?" she asked.
Walter was a bit taken aback, then his usual grin returned. "That's not forto answer. You gotta ask yourself." Quinn said, "You've lied totoo many times. I don't know if I should trust you." What Kyle could think of, she could too.
Those documents were the company's most important files. Handing them over to him was like giving him the keys to the kingdom. She was even worried that by the tshe cin the next morning, the company would be gone.
Walter stared at her for a couple of seconds and said, "You've already made your choice, so no need to say that."
He paused and continued, "Quinn, letbe straight with you. If Alexander ΟΙ doesn't cback, you can totally trust me. But if he does, then you me.
should start worrying." This was his most honest answer to her.
If Alexander didn't cback, he could be her sharpest weapon But if Alexander did/return, he'd be a ticking tbomb.
