Chapter 702
Cedrick lifted his gaze lazily.
Quinn was wearing a seductive black dress with a navy coat on the outside, but because she
was far too thin for the coat, she appeared hideous even if she tried to look fashionable.
Before Cedrick said anything, Javier intervened, "Who are you?"
Javier had not reported back to the headquarters, so he did not know that Quinn was the new
secretary hired by Mason Group.
Quinn's heart raced as she was not used to this sort of environment. Determined to become
better in the future, she forced a smile and said, "I’m Master Cedrick’s...cousin."
She was almost whispering toward the end of the sentence and even made a point to shyly
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtglance at Cedrick.
"Wow!" The group instantly rioted. One of them winked at Cedrick and said, "Cousin, why don't
we know that there's another cousin in our family? Did you adopt her?"
Another person agreed and added a few snarky remarks. Javier roared and stopped them.
Catelyn was his cousin's girlfriend, and he would only acknowledge that she was his cousin-in-law. He had no
intention of tolerating a strange woman who tried to seduce Cedrick.
Cedrick simply sat there and, compared to Javier's annoyance, remained composed and silent.
Encouraged by his silence, Quinn sheepishly extended the glass of alcohol she had in her hand. "Can you have a
drink with me?"
She had ordered a cocktail that was mixed with liquor and juice. Though it seemed harmless, the alcohol would kick
in later on, and one could easily get drunk with this one drink.
"I'll drink with you!" Javier snatched the glass from her hand and gulped it down while Quinn gaped at him.
She had purposely asked the bartender to make this cocktail after hearing that it could induce excitement, but
Javier had finished it all!
"You... You know how to have fun, I see!" she gritted out pretentiously.
Javier wiped his mouth and set the glass down before standing between Cedrick and Quinn to keep her away. " You
still want someone to drink with you? We have plenty of guys here!"
Quinn flushed, not knowing what to say in response.
Cedrick had no interest in staying any longer and simply grabbed his jacket. "I'm leaving. Have fun and use my card
for the bill," he drawled.
Quinn only came over because of Cedrick, and seeing that he was leaving, she immediately grabbed her purse and
chased after him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnnoyed, Javier stood in her way with a ferocious expression. "What are you trying to do?"
Startled by his intimidating glare, she shivered and muttered, "I... I'm going home."
"My cousin's girlfriend is Catelyn. If you dare to bother him again, I’ll make sure you have plenty
of men to keep you company! Do you understand?" Javier was not even 20, so he purposely
lowered his tone to sound more dangerous.
Quinn nodded frantically before running away.
She could not give up like this!
It was the perfect chance. It was late at night in a club, and Cedrick had been drinking alone.
She might not encounter another chance like this, and if something was to happen between her
and Cedrick, Catelyn would lose her mind!
Quinn hurried outside but could not find Cedrick anywhere. She lowered her head in defeat and
stomped in frustration. 'It's that Javier guy’s fault, otherwise, I would've been able to talk to
Cedrick!’
Just then, she heard ruffling from a tree nearby and saw a figure stepping out of the shadow...
