Chapter 406: Chapter 406

Quinn Lockwood arrived unimpeded at the door of Elias Sinclair’s office, only to find the door ajar, not fully closed.

"I won first place in this competition again, I know you’ll be happy for me."

A gentle and pleasant female voice, filled with tender affection, came faintly from the office.

Quinn’s heart tightened abruptly. She moved closer to the door and saw a woman in a pure white long dress embracing Elias Sinclair.

The woman had her back to her, so Quinn couldn’t see her face.

The woman’s back was slender and elegant, with brown wavy long hair cascading down her back, her neck as white and flawless as a fine jade. Just one glance was enough to captivate anyone’s gaze.

Quinn’s mind suddenly felt like it was exploding. For a moment, her brain couldn’t process this information, a mix of suffocating, bitter, and shocking feelings surrounded her like an airtight net.

Why was there a woman in Elias Sinclair’s office, and why were they embracing?

The words "cheating" echoed endlessly in Quinn’s mind, even though their relationship... was a bit chaotic right now.

But all the blood in her body seemed to flow backwards at this moment.

No, she didn’t want to watch.

Quinn gripped the food box tightly, trying to awkwardly move away from the area.

She barely moved a few centimeters before she heard Kevin’s voice behind her: "Madam, you’ve arrived."

The man inside the office paused abruptly at the noise, his brows furrowing in deep and tangled thought.

He withdrew his hand from his pocket and coldly brushed away the woman’s hands from around him, stepping back distantly.

"Sir, madam has arrived." Kevin knocked on the door and respectfully reported.

Before Elias could speak, Quinn pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Since she had been discovered, she chose not to flee.

She wanted to know what exactly was going on here.

However, upon seeing the face of the woman holding Elias Sinclair, Quinn was instantly stunned.

The woman was stunningly beautiful.

The soft and bright sunlight streaming in from the window made her long hair cascade smoothly, her small face as radiant as jade, poised and elegant, her neck slender and graceful, almost merging with the color of her dress.

Quinn bit her lip tightly, her eyes flickering unnaturally, then she hid the hand holding the food box behind her back.

Her expression remained calm, her tone cold and serious: "I came to discuss the advertisement copy with Mr. Sinclair, but I’m sorry to have interrupted your pleasure."

"Since you’re busy, I’ll head back to the set first, and I’ll reschedule with Kevin’s assistant later."

Quinn’s small face was already cold. She looked at Elias Sinclair sharply, as if she could see through his heart.

The man’s eyes flickered slightly, and a deep furrow crossed his brow. He opened his lips to say something, but Quinn didn’t give him the chance and directly turned to leave.

"Ah, madam..." Kevin was accidentally bumped by Quinn, hesitated to consult with Melody Shepherd with a glance. He feared that Mr. Sinclair and his wife might have a conflict, so he hurried to try and stop Quinn for his boss. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⟡fire.net

He knew just how much the boss cared about his wife.

As Quinn stepped out of the door, Elias Sinclair noticed the food box in her hand. His expression turned complex, a strong and indescribable feeling surged in his heart, making him feel slightly oppressed, prompting him to quickly move to chase after Quinn.

To catch up with her and explain.

This was Elias Sinclair’s most direct thought.

"Elias, wait, don’t be impulsive." The woman who had just embraced Elias Sinclair quickly raised her hand to stop him, her eyes carrying a mysterious emotion.

"Let go." A cold frost appeared in the man’s eyes. He turned back to look at the woman, seeming slightly displeased.

Elias’s eyes shifted down to Melody Shepherd’s hand on him, his brows furrowing.

Melody smiled apologetically when meeting his eyes, quickly let go, and shook her head with a helpless look: "Sorry, I... I forgot our current relationship as just ordinary friends..."

"I even thought you were...." Melody stopped mid-sentence, taking a gentle sigh as if mixed with some indescribable emotion.

"That was your wife just now, right? I heard about her while abroad. She’s very beautiful and an excellent actress."

"I guess she misunderstood our relationship just now, what a cute girl she is." Melody gently covered her mouth, quickly restoring a sweet and charming smile, as if her previous sigh was just an illusion, and she really liked Quinn Lockwood.

Melody tilted her head upward to look at Elias Sinclair, the angle just right for the man to see her white and alluring clavicle.

"However, I advise you not to chase after her now. You must know that a girl has no reason when she’s angry, and right now, you can only offer a simple explanation, which might deepen the misunderstanding."

"Why not wait until tonight when you go home, buy her favorite flowers or gifts, and explain everything face-to-face? If it really doesn’t work, I can personally go and explain it to her, what do you say?"

Melody tilted her head slightly, a few strands of gentle hair slipped down, landing on her alluring shoulder line, her sweet and gentle expression blended together like a white lotus blooming in the dark night, breathtakingly beautiful.

Elias Sinclair averted his gaze from Melody without responding positively or negatively.

The man’s gaze didn’t linger on Melody’s face for long, treating her just like an ordinary subordinate.

He turned coldly to sit back on his office chair, indeed not chasing after Quinn Lockwood.

Elias’s decision not to go after Quinn was not because of Melody’s advice; he was still upset with Quinn because of Jonah Hansen.

Thinking about Quinn’s closeness with Jonah and the rumors exposed, the man’s face turned black as if ink could drip from it.

Recalling how Quinn murmured Jonah’s name in her sleep last night, Elias’s anger deepened even more.

This woman had the audacity to think of another man...

Elias even suspected that while being with him, Quinn was always thinking of Jonah.

His gaze sharpened dangerously, emitting a chilling aura cold enough to freeze everything around him.
