In the very next heartbeat, a firm grip yanked her backward. The box she held was wrenched from her grasp and
flung nonchalantly into a nearby, oversized recycling bin.
It clattered to a halt amidst a jumble of sundry items, office paraphernalia, folders, and files among them.
Quinn stood, stunned and uncertain, before him. She used her hands to sign, her gestures asking, "What should |
do now?"
Alexander observed her for a moment, his face devoid of expression. His response, when it came, was delivered
with icy detachment, "Nothing. You don't have to do anything."
She regarded him, her confusion evident. A small tug at the corner of her mouth betrayed her bewilderment. He
had demonstrated his contempt for her so openly, yet now he wanted her constant presence? Hesitantly, she

She bit her lip, asking him, "Then what should | do?"
Alexander's fingers traced a cool path across her cheek. He leaned in close, as if to kiss her but stopped just
short of her lips, "Aren't you the expert in alluring men?"
Quinn's gaze wavered, and her heart tightened. This closeness was imbued with an ambiguous intimacy, yet it
was underscored by a palpable distance.
He added, "Look, even Walter with his bad leg rushed to save you. How did you seduce him?"
His breath was warm against her face, laced with a tranquil irony that felt like a needle hidden in cotton-piercing
without pain.
Quinn shook her head and signed, "I didn't seduce him."
Alexander caught her hand, interrupting her explanation. He seemed more interested in making his point than in
hearing her out.
