Chapter 1369 Cody had promised to take her on the third day, and Quinn hit him up early, like before the sun even thought about rising.
He lived solo, not too far from her. To lock down that deal with the Mellon Group, he bought a crib nearby. The house cost way more than the deal was worth, but that's just how this young boss rolled. Quinn knew his spot, so she and Kyle were chilling downstairs, waiting for him.
Dude took over half an hour to show up. He looked up at the still-dark sky, half-asleep.
His translator wasn't on the clock yet, so they just stared at each other awkwardly until they all whipped out their translation apps.

Cody checked his watch and said, "Nine. It's only five now. We got like four hours to kill." Quinn, already up and restless, said, "Let's just head over and wait. You said it'd be packed, and I don't wanna get stuck in traffic." Cody sighed, "It starts at nine, not ends at nine. If there's traffic, we're stuck either way." He eyed Quinn, puzzled. Was this guy really that irresistible? She was acting like showing up early would seal the deal.
Cody couldn't handle her nagging and finally caved, agreeing to take her there early.
When they got there, they had to wait outside since they didn't have an invite. They had to wait for the Logan family to roll up so they could sneak in with them.
Quinn sat in the car, staring at the pre-dawn city. Thinking about the day's event made her oddly nervous.
The Lynch place was way out in the burbs. Even with no traffic, it took a solid half-hour to get there.
She spotted a grand building in the distance. As the car snaked through the landscaped roads, the building loomed larger.
But Cody didn't get too close and parked about a hundred yards away.
"There are guards up ahead. No invite, no entry. We wait here," Cody said.
Quinn stared at the building hidden by leaves for a bit, then looked away. Cody reclined his seat and dozed off.

Kyle followed her, a bit hesitant. "Mrs. Kennedy, are we really doing this?" Quinn shot him a look. "We call this way. You wanna bail now?" Kyle scratched his head, unsure. "Not really. Just worried..." If Alexander didn't acknowledge Quinn, she'd be crushed again.
But Kyle kept that to himself, not wanting to hurt her more.
Quinn guessed what he was thinking and didn't reply. She turned to the white building. Through the leaves, she could see it was a massive estate with sold-school architecture. Cars were constantly rolling up the road ahead, all clearly from the Lynch family.
She kept an eye on the time, and as soon as it hit nine, she went back to el wake Cody.
Cody jolted awake from a good dream, almost losing his cool but seeing Quinn, he bit his tongue. "Is it nine already?" he asked.
Quinn nodded. "Yeah."
