Love Unspoken

Quinn chose to ignore Maria's disparaging remarks, a decision made easier by the harsh truth of her words. Indeed, Quinn's expertise was limited.

Her understanding of computers was basic at best, and her introduction to the photocopier had only occurred upon her arrival here. Given the stature of Kyle Astor, it was hardly fitting for him to instruct her, and Ruby had not assigned anyone to guide her either.

So, what was she to do but sit in front of the computer, idle?

As she grappled with these thoughts, Ruby made her entrance, tapping lightly on Maria's desk before addressing Quinn.

"Could I have a moment with the two of you?"

Quinn rose from her seat, trailing behind Maria towards the secluded office at the rear.

Anxious, Maria queried, possibly concerned that Ruby had overheard her earlier snide remarks, "Keegan, why have you called us?"

Ruby, comfortably seated and offering a gentle smile, reassured them, "Relax, it's nothing grave."

She turned her attention to Quinn, "You've been with us for some time now. You're a member of my team, and it's not sufficient for you to only handle the trivial tasks. I need to validate your role here." Quinn nodded, signaling her comprehension.

Ruby proceeded, "So Maria, you'll be her guide. Introduce her to our company's software, train her on document handling, and familiarize her with PowerPoint. You're adept with these tools, aren't you?" Maria bristled at the suggestion. Why was she expected to tutor this dummy?
