Love Unspoken

Quinn sat in the car, a shiver running down her spine. It could have been the lack of air conditioning that made her uncomfortable. Sensing her discomfort, Nicholas quickly closed the windows and turned on the air conditioner. "Sorry," he said, "I'm not fond of the smell of AC. I forgot to turn it on."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Quinn shook her head, signaling that it was fine.They arrived at the tech hub, where Nicholas led the way to a surveillance equipment shop. They were greeted by a familiar face. Quinn looked at Nicholas with a newfound appreciation. The lawyer had an impressively wide network. Earlier, he had managed to investigate Ariel's residence in mere minutes, and now they were being served by an old acquaintance for their security purchase.

After a brief conversation and deciding on a model, the shop owner arranged for a complimentary installation at their place. As they left the hub and headed to the parking lot, they were cut off by several speeding cars. Quinn tensed up at the sight of the luxury vehicles.

Several well-dressed men stepped out, and Kyle emerged from a Bentley. He sauntered over and opened the car door. Instinctively, Quinn's eyes were drawn to the door. Long, graceful legs stepped out, and glossy leather shoes hit the ground. It felt as if they were pressing right onto Quinn's heart, causing her fingers to clench tight.

Alexander exited the car, a black coat draped over his shoulders. He stood amidst a circle of bodyguards, his presence overwhelming everyone present. Nicholas's expression turned grave as he glanced at Quinn instinctively. Alexander slowly approached Quinn, his frigid gaze sweeping across her face before resting on Nicholas. "Is this the lawyer you've found for yourself?" he asked. Nicholas stood tall, his back straight. "And you are?" he retorted. "You don't know who I am, yet she hires you to sue me?" Alexander's question hung in the air. Nicholas furrowed his brow and was about to speak, but Quinn stepped in front of him, desperate to explain. However, Alexander grasped her hand and pulled her aside, handing her over to Kyle. "Take her back first," he ordered.

Kyle caught Quinn, his expression a mix of emotions. "Quinn, let's go back," he said. She shook her head, struggling to explain, but Kyle took her hand firmly, whispering, "Stop causing trouble." Kyle signaled the surrounding bodyguards with his eyes, urging them to pull Quinn into the car. Outmatched by their strength, she was dragged aboard, her eyes fixed on Nicholas, her heart plummeting. Once the car had left, Nicholas looked away as if he had pieced things together. "Sir, it seems there's been a misunderstanding. My involvement with Quinn is purely professional," he said. Alexander's lips curled slightly, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. He watched Nicholas deliberately. "In that case, there's no misunderstanding. Nicholas, may I have a word with you in private?" he asked.

Nicholas glanced at the security cameras above the tech hub and smiled. "Sure," he said, and voluntarily got into the car parked at the curb.

Despite being mentally prepared, Nicholas couldn't completely hide his unease when the ferocious roars were heard upon arrival at Midhill Lane Villa. Fortunately, his professional composure quickly settled in. He walked alongside Alexander through the Villa grounds, both strolling as if they were two old friends catching up-if not for the multitude of bodyguards that followed.

"How did you come to meet my wife, Nicholas?" Alexander finally asked. Considering his response, Nicholas said, "Perhaps it's better to ask Quinn directly when you get back, as she was the one who reached out to me first."

Lawyers had their regulars, so he wasn't clear on who had referred him to Quinn, but since that contact wasn't widely known, it was only when Quinn came to him that he put in the extra effort.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't normally bother with a minor case like this.
