Love Unspoken

The situation felt like a punchline to a poorly executed joke. "If you don't believe it, that's your loss," Maria declared, placing her cup on the table with a finality that echoed her words. She rose from her seat and walked away, the sight of her stocking-clad legs drawing Leon's lingering gaze. The idea of a dummy as a secretary was almost laughable to him. He was filled with doubt, yet he couldn't dismiss it entirely.

Maria, however, found herself unable to resist stealing glances at Quinn upon her return. She was well aware of Leon's intentions, and despite her reservations, she felt compelled to play along. After all, Freya had entrusted her with the task of "taking care of Quinn."

Seizing the opportunity, Maria approached Quinn's desk and tapped lightly on its surface. "Can you take this invoice down to the finance department and hand it over to Leon?" she asked.

Quinn paused in her work, glancing at the stack of papers before her, then back at Maria. "I'm not done with my sorting yet," she protested, her pen still moving across the paper.

"It won't take long, just a trip downstairs. These are from the hotel bookings for Alexander's business trip last week," Maria explained.

After a moment of hesitation, Quinn accepted the invoices and made her way to the finance department. Unfamiliar with Leon, she headed straight for the manager's office.

The door was ajar, and she recognized the man inside as the one who had spoken to her in the meeting room. It was Leon. She rapped lightly on the door, and as Leon looked up and saw her, his face brightened with a welcoming smile. "What brings you here, Quinn? Come on in."
