A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel 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."

"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.
