Love Unspoken

Susan shot Quinn a suspicious look, remembering the day Quinn had grilled her about the Vitex Group. She started to think Quinn might be gunning for the company. But why would Quinn go after a company that's about to go belly up?

Quinn stayed quiet for a bit before breaking the silence. "I'm after the Lynch family."

Susan's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe it. She had no way of getting close to the Lynch family, yet here was Quinn, aiming straight for them.

"Are you for real?" Susan asked, still in shock.

Quinn nodded. "Yep."

Susan felt a wave of unease wash over her. Her mind was racing, knowing that whatever Quinn wanted her to do wouldn't be a walk in the park; otherwise, she wouldn't be sent to the Mellon Group. After taking a moment to steady herself, Susan asked, "So, what do you need me to do?"

Quinn looked at her, like she was calculating the odds of success.

"It's not hard. I'll keep you safe, and once it's done, I'll get you back, set you up with the Mellon Group, and give you everything you want," Quinn promised.

Susan was hooked, especially by that last part.

"So, what's the plan?" she asked.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"I'll fill you in a few days. For now, just keep doing your job and don't quit," Quinn instructed.

Susan suddenly felt a surge of energy, but looking at Quinn, the nanny she had hired, she felt all sorts of mixed emotions. How did Quinn suddenly become the boss?

To see if Quinn was bluffing, she stayed up late to whip up a resume and sent it to the Mellon Group's official email.

That email was pretty much a black hole, rarely checked and cleaned out every few months.

If Quinn was legit, she could tell her people to look for Susan's resume.

The next morning, Susan saw Quinn busy in the kitchen, feeling even more conflicted.

She wondered if she should stop Quinn from doing housework.

After some thought, Susan went to the kitchen. "Quinn."

Quinn turned around. "What's up?"

"Maybe you should stop doing this stuff. Watching you cook makes me feel weird," Susan said.

Quinn smiled and kept frying eggs. "It's cool. I'm just killing time. Oh, by the way, I bought a villa in this neighborhood too. If you're worried about your mom, she can stay there, and I can help look after her." Susan was floored. She actually bought a house here!

"Did you check me out beforehand?" Susan asked, feeling uneasy.

Otherwise, how would Quinn end up working as a nanny in her home and even buy a house in this neighborhood?

Quinn couldn't mention Alexander, so she just nodded along with Susan's guess. "Yeah, I looked into people at your company, and you were the perfect fit."

"I see," Susan said, helping with the plates. "Let me handle this."

Quinn didn't argue and kept making the sandwiches.

After last night's reveal, Susan felt a bit on edge sitting at the same table with Quinn.

She was also grateful that work had kept her so busy she hadn't had time to deal with household stuff or nitpick.

Otherwise, she'd be in deep trouble.

After breakfast, Susan headed to work. Anna was still asleep, and Quinn was bored out of her mind, with her son not around.

Quinn sat around for a bit before heading to the other villa.

From the second-floor balcony, she could see Alexander's balcony, but it was too far to see anything clearly.
