Love Unspoken

"So that means..." Ruby's expression changed.

Walter casually grabbed an orange, reclined in his chair, and slowly peeled it.

"If it's not Landon, it's me," he remarked. "Guessing is part of the game. Don't stress; a promotion should be coming your way soon."

Ruby didn't quite believe it. If Alexander already knew who she belonged to, and he was promoting her, wasn't that absurd?

Walter looked deeply at Ruby, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Ruby, you need to sharpen your mind."

Ruby, feeling a bit uneasy after Walter's comment, managed to hold back her anger and asked, "So why is he promoting me?"

Walter responded, "It's simple. Because of the ship explosion, he requires someone to reach out to the top executives of the Vide Group, expose the truth about the sinking ship, and deliver a decisive blow to Landon." Walter smiled slightly. "I happen to have the connections."

Walter added, "He's promoting you as a form of recognition for our cooperation. Do you understand now?"

As Walter spoke, he popped the orange into his mouth. However, his expression quickly changed, and he spat the sour fruit into the trash bin, exclaiming, "Who bought them? They're really sour!" Ruby replied, "Richard did."

Walter said, "Don't let him buy them next time."

Ruby pulled a wry smile, then refocused on the topic. "So, he specifically made that call just now to ascertain whose side I'm on?"

Walter asked, "Isn't it obvious?"

Walter disdainfully threw the orange into the trash can. "This guy, he's too proud to come to me for help."

That's why he started with Ruby.

Ruby was taken aback by Walter's analysis. While his points were logical, the Alexander described by Walter seemed distinct from the one that Ruby had perceived.

In Ruby's eyes, Alexander appeared as a distant and indifferent individual, exuding an air of superiority as he looked down upon others.

However, Alexander, as described by Walter, seemed more like a stubborn, somewhat childish boy.

Less of the aloof arrogance and more of an approachable demeanor of an ordinary person.

Thinking this, Ruby couldn't help but smile involuntarily.

Out of the blue, Walter reached out and tapped the table in front of Ruby. "Don't get too caught up with him," he warned.

Coming back to reality, Ruby swiftly wiped away the faint smile on her face. She defensively responded, "I'm definitely not infatuated with him."

Walter chuckled, seeing through her without saying it out loud.

When Alexander returned to the ward, Quinn was curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.

Quinn curled up on the sofa, resembling a little cat.

Alexander walked up to Quinn, bent down, and picked her up.

The moment Alexander touched Quinn, she woke up from her slumber.

Seeing Alexander, Quinn instinctively hugged his neck, her eyes full of grievances as if blaming him for being away for so long.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Alexander lifted Quinn and walked towards the hospital bed, then gently set her down.

But Quinn didn't let go of Alexander's neck, causing him to bend over, his wound throbbing faintly.

"Release me. the wound is going to split." Alexander's face looked strained as if he was enduring something.

Upon witnessing this, Quinn quickly let go of Alexander.

He then took a seat beside her, closed his eyes briefly to collect himself, and when he reopened them, he appeared calm and composed. Alexander said, "Don't be so nervous. I just went out for a while."

Quinn's eyes were slightly red as she gazed at Alexander's chest. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and lifted his shirt. However, she was unable to see anything due to the bandages covering his chest. Quinn blinked and asked, "Are you in pain?" Alexander remained silent for a moment and uttered two words. "I'm fine."

Quinn stared at Alexander for a long while, then gestured. "Let me help you treat it."
