A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1451

Now that Sam could hold his own, Quinn wondered if she should move back to her own office.

Still, she decided that there was no hurry-Sam’s office was spacious, so it would not affect them working together.

Quinn turned on her computer, ready to read through some documents and announcements.

That was when Danny-Sam’s secretary—entered the room, and he was surprised to see her there. “Hello, Ms. Summer.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Hey.” Quinn smiled. “What are you doing here? You’re not sitting through the meeting with Sam?”

“Meeting?” Danny appeared perplexed.

Quinn frowned. “You mean there’s no meeting?”

“Not in the morning today-just one at 3 PM,” Danny quickly said.

Quinn was left further perplexed. “Well, where’s Sam? Is he out with a partner or doing rounds?”

Logically, Danny would always follow Sam everywhere he went… so why was Sam alone missing?

“He didn’t come in this morning,” Danny said then. “He called me early in the morning saying that he would come in late, since he has something personal to attend to. He asked me to prepare the materials for this afternoon’s

meetings too-it’s here, and I was going to leave it on his desk.”

As Danny held up the documents, the wrinkle on Quinn’s brow deepend.

Sam had something personal to attend to?!

She and Lindsay handled everything around the house, and Sam never asked about it.

As such, it did not concern their family… But if it did not, what personal matter would Sam have to deal with, alone and during work hours?

Turning back to Danny, she said, “Okay. You can get back to work.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Danny replied, putting the documents on Sam’s desk before leaving.

After he was gone, Quinn was too distracted to read any of the official documents.

Eventually, she gritted her teeth as she mustered her courage to text Sam.

[Where are you?]

[At the office, working. What’s up?]

The reply was instantaneous, and Quinn was left staring at the text, her heart feeling like it had plunged into the abyss.

Sam was lying to her? Why?!

Was he up to something bad?

She thought about how Sam’s attitude towards her alternated repeatedly, and how much he wanted to do it when she had her period. And yet, when it was over, he kept avoiding her.

Was it because someone else satisfied him? Was that why he did not need her?!

Quinn started trembling as an aching suddenly extended all over her body.

For the first time, it hurt so much she felt it in her bones, and she actually could not breathe.

Her tears rolled without warning, and there was no stopping it.

She picked up her phone, intent on asking Sam why he would lie to her.

Did he not say he would not cheat on her anymore?

She earnestly believed that things had changed between them, just as she could feel his feelings for her.

Was it all just an illusion, or did Sam perhaps only find her interesting for a moment?!

Quinn always believed that she could give him time to fall for her, and that she had the patience to wait for him to change.

However, she never knew that she was not that nonchalant about it, and it turned out she really cared if Sam was loyal to her…

She could not even imagine smelling the scent of another woman from his body. She would really lose her mind!

She sat behind her desk, staying silent for quite a while as she went through a nervous breakdown, but she eventually calmed down.

Nonetheless, Sam was nowhere in sight even after the whole morning had passed-it was 2 PM when he finally entered the office, humming a tune and looking refreshed.
