Love Unspoken

Quinn was in a daze, and the gap between her and Walter kept shrinking. His face got closer until she could only see his eyes.

Quinn jolted awake, straightened up, and put some distance between them. "I should get back to work," she said.

She tried to open the car door but found it locked.

Walter's hand froze mid-air. Looking at her, he smiled and sat back. "You got scared," he said, unlocking the door. "I was just joking."

Quinn gave him a suspicious look. His usual smile made her sigh in relief. For a moment, she thought about never seeing him again. Now, he explained it was a joke, making her emotions go up and down. Thinking back, Walter had teased her a few times since joining The Kennedy family. She knew he didn't have feelings for her, but his behavior just now made her feel foolish.

Blushing, she said, "Lucas, don't joke like that."

Walter tilted his head, not answering. Instead, he said, "Don't take off the gift I gave you, okay?"

Quinn looked at the pendant, sniffing a faint fragrance. "What's inside this?" she asked.

"Just ordinary spices," Walter replied.

Quinn nodded and put the orb back under her clothes. "Okay, I won't take it off."

Walter stared at her for a long time, making her uneasy. "Alright, you can go now," he finally said. Quinn nodded and asked, "How much longer do I have to wait?"

Walter, looking into the distance, said, "Not much longer."

Seeing he wouldn't say more, Quinn got out of the car. Walter watched her leave, his smile fading.

Back at the office, filming was still ongoing. Quinn sat down at a workstation as an extra. Filming went smoothly, but it was getting late, so Ronald told everyone to have dinner before continuing. The company had a cafeteria, and Helen took Quinn there. It was Quinn's first time there, and she was surprised by its size.

"Do you have a meal card?" Helen asked.

Quinn shook her head. "No."

Helen explained, "You should get one from the logistics department. It has a monthly subsidy of fifty dollars, and you can recharge it. Eating here is cost-effective."

She handed Quinn her meal card. "Use mine today. Take any dish you want."

Quinn followed Helen, picking dishes and checking out. She suddenly remembered Kyle hadn't brought her medicine today. Skipping one dose shouldn't hurt. Just as she found a place to sit, Kyle called. She sighed and answered, "I'm eating. Can I come out later?"

Kyle replied, "Sure, but I'm not calling about the medicine."

"Then what do you need?" Quinn asked.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Mr. Kennedy wants to see you," Kyle said.
