What Separates Me and You

Chapter 178 Are You Divorced?

Quintin dared not dally. He took his car keys and drove Josephine to work.

Choosing the less busy roads, he sped through the streets so Josephine would be in time for work

He handed her a small carton of milk and said, “I thought of taking you for breakfast. I didn’t know you were working. I would’ve thought you were studying if you hadn’t mentioned it.”

Pursing her lips, Josephine accepted the milk and drank it.

Quintin continued, “But we’re similar in that. Everyone says I look like I’m still in university, but I’m already 25 this year.”

Josephine was surprised to hear that. She looked at Quintin in the driver’s seat. The way he dressed and behaved showed no signs that he was already 25 years old.

Perhaps, his carefree ways gave Josephine the wrong perception that he was still studying.

Quintin seemed to see right through her and said, “Besides what you’ve seen and my volunteering work at the welfare association, I have a regular job too. I’m working at a company selling pet supplies. It sells everything you need. You can come to me for dog food if you have decided to adopt one. I’ll give you a discount.”

Josephine smiled and took out her notebook to jot that down.

She wrote down Quintin’s age, job, and the discount he promised if she wanted to buy dog

food.

Quintin accidentally glimpsed at what she wrote and chuckled, “What are you jotting that down for? Are you afraid that I won’t keep my promise? Don’t worry. I won’t cheat you. Those are proper dog food I was talking about.”

Josephine smiled but said nothing. She kept the notebook in her bag.

Quintin chattered all the way. Josephine’s silence didn’t irk him. He was a natural in chatting and didn’t pause at all. He could keep the conversation going even though Josephine didn’t respond to him.

It had been a long time since he had had such a good listener, so he enjoyed chatting with Josephine.

Josephine wouldn’t interrupt or go against him.

During the car ride, Josephine discovered a great deal about him. There were interesting stories and some unhappy ones.

Soon, they reached Alvarez Corp. Quintin checked the time. “Alright. It’s only 8.50 am. You start work at 9 am, right?”
