âMr. Quinn, Ms. Murray, weâre here,â Samuel cautiously notified them.
Yvette pursed her lips to cool down. She immediately hopped out of the car while Wilson swooned over her, thinking she was adorable event when she was shy.
Chuckling tenderly, he tumed to Samuel and said, âYouâll get five times your bonus this month.â
âThank you, Mr. Quinn!â Samuel, who had anticipated Wilsonâs scolding for the turbulence just now, was surprised to be handsomely rewarded instead of getting berated.
Perhaps he should drive over bumps more frequently.
Yvette overheard the conversation, and the blush on her cheeks deepened. Wilson was doing that on purpose!
âWhatâs wrong? Why is your face as red as a tomato?â Wilson emerged from the car with his tie straightened and his shirt fully buttoned. He reverted into an aloof gentleman, a stark contrast to his seductive behavior back in the car.
She fixed her eyes on his buttoned shirt and snorted. âThought you couldnât button your shirt because your hand is sore.â
Tickled by her disgruntled look, he replied lazily, âWell, Iâm a prudish man, and I only expose myself to you, Yvie.â His remark captured her heart. Therefore, she allowed him to hold her hand.
Collin immediately exclaimed when he saw Yvette entering the private dining lounge, âWow! Youâre sporting a Quinn family heirloom, I see. Mrs. Quinn Senior has planned to pass it down to her granddaughterâinâlaw. I guess itâs time I call you Mrs. Quinn!â
A look of surprise flashed across Yvetteâs eyes. She knew the emerald pendant must be expensive, but she was unaware of its significance.
That explained why Wilson had convinced her to accept the pendant from Martha. What a cunning man!
Sensing her gaze, Wilson lowered his eyes and tenderly stared at her. âYou canât return the emerald pendant once you accept it.â
Blinking, she suppressed the wave of emotions and mumbled, âThatâs unfair! Why are the Quinns being so unreasonable!â
âYeah, we are unreasonable people.â Bending over, Wilson gently held her chin in his slender fingers. His hot breath tickled her ear. âAnd thatâs why youâre not allowed to break your promise.â
âMr. Quinn, Iâm still here. Can you please get a room?â Collin joked.
It was torture to watch the interaction between the loveyâdovey couple, and it was his first time seeing Wilson being flirtatious His remark ruined the mood. Wilson shot daggers at him before asking disdainfully, âWhy are you here?â
His reaction rendered Collin speechless. He had just called Collin days ago for tips on how to snatch someoneâs girl, but he seemed eager to ditch Collin once he got what he wanted.
Collin then groaned. âOh, Wilson. Iâm here to help!â
