Chapter 385
Quinn was left staring at Ryan, unable to react.
He continued to explain, "My superiors also arranged it so that I could stay at North City indefinitely, so I won't be going abroad. I might be traveling to the headquarters in the capital occasionally, though.'
"That's good. You'd be working close from home," Quinn replied with a small smile.
"It's late, Ryan. Get some rest," she said softly.
"...Okay," Ryan murmured, refraining from saying what he intended to say.
Quinn returned to her bed, but she couldn't sleep despite her fatigue.
All sorts of messy thoughts would appear in her mind even if she closed her eyes, leaving her annoyed.
She hence stared at the ceiling until daybreak, and washed up to go to work like she usually did.
The rest of the family were at the dining table and having breakfast.
Syd Collins-the girl Ryan brought along-was there with them, but Sam wasn’t since he usually woke up past noon.
"I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you're Ryan's girlfriend.’ Lindsay was smiling.
Still, she would much rather that to be the case-she may support Ryan's career, but she would like to see him start a family soon too.
"I'd like that, but Ryan really isn't biting. But you have nothing to worry about, ma'am-ril do my best to win his heart," Syd smiled in turn.
Having spent more time abroad than locally, she was much more open- minded and forthright in nature.
"Really?* Lindsay smiled.
