Chapter 105: Chapter 105

"You people are worse than an outsider. This month’s bonus is halved." After saying that, he swiveled his chair to face Quinn Lockwood.

"You did well this time." Elias Sinclair seemed a bit hesitant, unsure of what to say next.

"It’s nothing, since the issue is resolved, I’ll head back to the studio. Coming, Ethan?" Quinn Lockwood smiled, happy that she could help Elias Sinclair, especially since he had helped her before. She didn’t need to keep basking in credit.

"Yeah, yeah, I need to check on my precious machines too." Ethan nodded and left with Quinn Lockwood.

Elias Sinclair seemed like he wanted to say more. His thin lips parted slightly but as he watched the girl walk away, he held back his words and slightly furrowed his brows.

"Kevin, you should go back to the studio too and if everything’s fine, escort Miss Lowell back to the hotel." The man regained his cold tone.

Quinn Lockwood had just reached the hall when someone called out to her. When she turned, it was the female technician who had accused her of damaging the data.

"Savannah, I’m really sorry just now, I... I just wanted to make a good impression in front of President Sinclair." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel[f]ire.net

Quinn Lockwood smirked. This person was truly honest, probably not malicious, so there was no need to dwell on these things since they were resolved.

"It’s okay, it’s okay."

Quinn Lockwood laughed, waved her hand, and turned to leave, but the employee still blocked her path and asked, "Savannah, please don’t be mad at me. I was blind to your excellence. Could you tell me what was wrong with that system just now?"

"I’m really not mad. It was just a hard-to-find bug that I’ve already fixed. Don’t worry." After patiently explaining the problem, Quinn Lockwood left.

"Wow, you’re really impressive!" said Ethan, as soon as they stepped out, trying to flatter her shamelessly.

"Who said we’re friends!" Quinn Lockwood snapped at him and started to get in the car. Seeing she didn’t want to give him a ride, Ethan quickly clung to the car door, giving a pleading look.

With a helpless sigh, she opened the car door and let Ethan in. She was truly impressed by this person, able to switch personalities just like that. Amazing!

Quinn Lockwood didn’t know that Joyce Kramer had witnessed everything that just happened.

So quickly winning the hearts of so many people, even Ethan had such a good attitude towards her. If this continues, wouldn’t President Sinclair also develop a fondness for her? Why did she deserve it!

Joyce Kramer clenched her fist tightly, her shoulders trembling slightly with anger.

It seems Freya Caldwell was utterly useless.

Meanwhile, in the studio, Ethan cradled his beloved camera, checking the negatives and footage shot over the past two days. Thankfully, everything was there. Otherwise, he’d have cried himself to death.

"Isn’t everything fine? Why the long face?" Quinn Lockwood puckered her lips at his expression.

"Yes, it’s fine," Ethan raised an eyebrow, flashed a mischievous grin, turned around, crossed his legs, and asked Quinn Lockwood, "I noticed that your program is quite unusual. Have you formally studied computer science?"

"No, I’m just interested and self-taught a bit." Quinn Lockwood swallowed, thinking she’d better keep her distance from this guy in the future.

"Really? You’re extraordinarily gifted. It’s a waste for you to become a celebrity." Ethan shook his head, with an expression of regret.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. Farewell." Quinn Lockwood mimicked Ethan’s tone.

"Miss Lowell, let me drive you." Kevin quickly approached Quinn Lockwood, looking respectful.

"It’s just around the corner, I don’t want to trouble you." She waved her hand, intending to walk away. Kevin, given Elias Sinclair’s orders, dared not not escort her and followed her like a shadow.

"Hey, hey, wait for me, I’m heading back to the hotel too." Ethan hurriedly put down his things and followed. Why did he feel nothing like an internationally respected and admired photographer!

Back at the hotel, Quinn Lockwood initially planned to return the car keys to Dylan Quinn but thought it inappropriate to just show up at his door. She decided to return them the next day during the shoot, and perhaps thank him in person.

The company’s network bug issue, compounded by several competitors taking the opportunity to attack the Sinclair Group, naturally led to considerable financial losses.

In his office, Elias Sinclair manipulated the group’s stocks, fiercely retaliating against other corrupt companies. Not only did he effortlessly recover the losses, but he also made some extra profit.

Many rival groups that were eyeing the Sinclair Group found themselves in awe, as the net system paralysis was resolved in minutes. Suspecting the presence of someone from The HAC Organization inside, they dared not make any move, queuing up to curry favor with Elias Sinclair.

"President Sinclair, it’s fantastic that you’ve recovered all losses so quickly!" Joyce Kramer, observing his entire operation process, grew more enamored by the moment.

"It’s getting late. You can clock out now." Elias Sinclair remained as cold and stern as ever. After Joyce Kramer left, looking at the stock prices on his computer screen, his mind involuntarily drifted to Quinn Lockwood.

The next day, as Quinn Lockwood descended for the shoot, she saw Kevin waiting for her with a respectful and focused demeanor.

"Savannah," a warm and magnetic voice called from a distance.

Quinn Lockwood shifted her gaze towards the voice. Dylan Quinn and Ethan were also waiting for her. She was a bit puzzled. What was going on? She hadn’t overslept!

"What’s with that face? Are we going to eat you or something?" Ethan languidly got up, swung his arms, glanced at the others, and said as he walked, "Let’s go, let’s go, time to work! Kevin, you don’t need to pick up and drop off Savannah every day. With Dylan and me as her knights, what are you worried about?"

Kevin gave an awkward yet polite smile, looked from Ethan to Quinn Lockwood, and cautiously said, "President Sinclair’s orders, I have to follow them..."

Upon hearing this, Quinn Lockwood instantly froze, turning to stone!
