A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1376

While both Sam and Quinn kept their heads lowered and ate their steaks, Sam was complaining inwardly throughout.

How unconscientious could Quinn be?

He had noticed that she was not eating much and followed suit so that they could eat together here in the hotel.

And yet, not only did she prove less than understanding but she was accusing him of flirting with the ladies?!

Did he even need to do that?! Ladies flocked to him anyway!

The only one he wanted to flirt with was her!

Nonetheless, they both returned to their rooms after finishing their steaks.

There was still work to be done tomorrow, so they had to go to bed without delay.

Naturally, that meant someone like Sam who was used to having night life had to force himself to sleep.

-

Early next morning, Quinn had just gotten out of bed when she found Sam already out in the living area, dressed smartly in a suit.

"You're up already?!" she exclaimed in surprise. "It's only seven…"

"Sleeping in is a taboo for a dutiful working man." Sam snorted. "We still have a discussion with Damian Craig, don't we? I need to revise the details, or he'd find me unprofessional when we meet."

Quinn stared at him as he went through the papers on the couch with a serious look, wondering for a moment if he was still the Sam Saunders she knew.

Could people really change that dramatically? Was the prodigal son truly repentant, and would his atonement last?

Suddenly, he said without turning, "I know I'm handsome, but you're going to affect me if you keep ogling me like that."

Quinn came to her senses and hurried off to wash up.

After changing and putting on makeup, room service had already brought them breakfast.
