Quincy said bluntly, “Yeah. I ran into her while shopping. Out of nowhere, she says, ‘Your friend came to Kingston. You didn’t know?’ I was standing there thinking, what the hell is that supposed to mean p>
Lillian was just as puzzled. She had no dealings with Stella-why would that woman drag Quincy into it?
Before she could think further, Quincy cut her off. “Forget it. Not gonna waste time on her. Where are you? I’ll come get you. No excuses p>
Lillian gave a helpless smile. She rattled off the Skyreach Group address. The He family already knew her identity, so there was no point hiding it.
“Perfect. Sit tight. I’m on my way.” Quincy hung up before Lillian could answer.
Staring at the dead line, Lillian could only shake her head, amused by her friend’s headlong energy. She picked up her files and went back to work.
Meanwhile, the roar of a red sports car was already tearing down the avenue, racing straight for Skyreach Group.
It wasn’t long before a knock sounded at her door. Wayne’s secretary came in, flustered. “Ms. Harrington, Mr. Wayne asked me to fetch you. Mr. Ryan’s gotten into an argument downstairs p>
“An argument?” Lillian frowned.
“Yes. Mr. Wayne’s still in a meeting with Mr. Randall, so he asked me to get you. It seems pretty heated p>
A thought clicked in Lillian’s mind. Could it be…
She rose from her chair at once. “Let’s go. I’d better see for myself p>
When she reached the ground floor, she saw the scene in the parking lot.
Quincy was perched cross-legged on the roof of her sports car, arms braced on her hips. On the hood of the other car, Ryan lounged back, scrolling on his phone as if none of this mattered. The two vehicles had formed a sharp V, parked nose-to-nose like a pair of fighters squaring off.
“What’s this supposed to be, a remake of some martial arts flick?” Lillian strode up, exasperation in her voice.
Quincy spotted her and immediately shouted, “Lillian, don’t interfere. Today I’m teaching this
guy what it means to be a gentleman p>
Ryan dropped his phone and shot back, “Gentlemanly conduct? Please. I’m from Dracovia. All I know is first come, first served. Never heard of this ‘gentlemanly courtesy,’ so forgive me if I don’t understand p>
It didn’t take a genius to piece together what had happened.
Lillian snapped, “Both of you-off the cars, now. This is the front of a company headquarters. People might think Skyreach Group’s latest project is some action movie p>
The two exchanged a final glare before climbing down, each one sulking.
Seeing them bristle, nose to nose like cats with raised hackles, Lillian could only laugh in frustration. “All right, explain. What’s this really about p>
Quincy launched into her tirade. “I pulled in and spotted the parking space first. Just as I was about to back in, this guy swoops in with his car, aiming for the same spot. Obviously, I wasn’t having it, so I blocked him and called him out. But then he starts twisting words, acting all unreasonable, and even has the nerve to quote, ‘Women and petty men are hard to keep in line. Can you believe that p>
Ryan actually chuckled. “Tell me, princess-when you ‘spotted’ this space, where exactly was your car p>
Quincy froze for half a second, then snapped, “What’s it matter where my car was? Didn’t your mother teach you? When you see a beautiful woman, you give up the space. That’s what a gentleman does p>
“Beautiful woman?” Ryan’s tone turned razor sharp as his gaze swept her up and down. “Maybe you skipped elementary language class. Didn’t they teach you not to misuse words? Otherwise you’ll cause an earthquake p>
