Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 900

Dailey shot him a cold glance.

"Always fooling kids, aren't you?"

He was the one who ran off for years without a word, and now his wife left him. Serves him right.

Gina wasn't the naive girl she used to be. She wouldn't be easily swayed by Quentin's smooth talk.

"She's familiar with Dailey—they're a couple now. There's no need for me to stick around," Gina retorted.

A glint of calculation flashed in Quentin's eyes.

"We need some promotional photos for this collaboration. Since you're so close to her, you'll work better together. Why not stay and help her out? After all, she's new here."

Christine opened her mouth to speak, but Dailey nudged her to stay quiet.

She exchanged looks with him, communicating without words: They were in cahoots, like snakes and rats in the same lair.

Dailey remained silent.

"You don't lack photographers," Gina said, wavering slightly, but she was reluctant to go along with Quentin's plan.

"None as good as you," Quentin remarked smoothly.

A mix of flattery and persuasion. Christine almost applauded.

"But I have other commitments," Gina replied.

Quentin coaxed, "Can't you reschedule a bit for a friend?"

Gina and Christine hadn't known each other long, but they hit it off and became friends. Otherwise, Gina wouldn't have offered her a 10% discount. She never gave discounts!

Plus, Christine's project involved incorporating heritage styles into modern fashion, which intrigued Gina.

Christine couldn't hold back anymore. "Gina, do whatever makes you happy," she encouraged.

Quentin's eyes flashed with displeasure.

Dailey spoke up, "Can I say something?"

Gina nodded, "You did save me once."

"Then hang out with my wife for a bit?"
