A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1416

When Sam was finished with work, he looked up to find

Quinn staring at him fixedly.He blinked in return and said, "Quinn?"

Quinn came to her senses, blushing right away as she got entranced from staring at Sam.

While she never thought him good looking, she found him exceedingly handsome today.

That chiseled cheek matched with his pronounced facial features... There was no hiding that masculine charm of his.

Could this be beauty in the eye of the beholder?!

Quinn's heart skipped a couple of beats, and she could feel it thump even as she pursed her lips.

Not wanting to hide her feelings for Sam anymore, she mustered her courage to turn and meet his gaze.

Sam could tell that she was acting weird as well—even the way she looked at him was different.

He gulped without knowing.

Heaven knows how much he wanted to rush up and take her into his arms and never let go.

The air in the room seemed aflame just then, until Sam's phone suddenly started to ring.

Both Sam and Quinn were startled. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

All their impulses and passion that threatened to leak ina split second suddenly evaporated, struck by the bolt from the blue.

Quinn kept her head down and calmly packed her things from the table, subtly composing the storm she felt inside.

Beside her, Sam took a deep breath before answering Lindsay's call. "Hey, Mom.”

"Still working?” she asked mildly.

"We're just leaving.”

"Then we'll be waiting. Come back soon.”

“Okay,” Sam said, hanging up and turning to Quinn. "She's telling us to hurry.”

"Yeah." Quinn replied, picking up her back and leaving work with Sam.

Naturally, things got awkward again as they got into their car.

While everything was perfectly natural when they talked about work, they did not dare to look each other in the eye now.

Quinn was staring out at the streets as she worked hard to calm herself, and Sam did the same too through the other window.

No one would be able to tell that his heart was pounding— his heart would race even if he sat with Quinn now.

He swore under his breath—how the hell did he fall to her when he had been with endless women before?!

He was basically getting weird around her and might even die of a heart attack someday!

Nonetheless, their car soon reached Saunders Mansion, and they aligned consecutively.

Sam walked ahead, intent on reining in his emotions.

However, his heart would race whenever Quinn got close, and it was especially bad today!

Still, just as they arrived into the drawing room, he suddenly felt a dainty warm hand taking his.

Sam felt his chest throbbing and could lose his mind right then.

He turned to find Quinn smiling at him without any explanation and leading him inside.
