Seraphina turned to Bonnie, her face a mask of helpless pity. "Bonnie, I'm sorry. I tried my best to plead for you."
She took a half-step forward, lowering her voice, feigning earnestness. "Actually, Parrish is a really good guy, and he's easy to talk to. If you just lower your head and beg him a little, he might actually buy you one. Why do you always have to make things so hard for yourself?"
Standing perfectly still, Bonnie watched the two of them perform their pathetic little duet and let out another breathless, disbelieving laugh.
"A jerk and a psycho, you two are perfect for each other. Please, stay locked together forever and don't ever go out and ruin anyone else's life!"
"Bonnie Hayes!" Parrish was completely enraged, the veins on his forehead throbbing violently.
Right on cue, several security guards hurried over.
Parrish pointed a shaking finger at Bonnie, roaring furiously, "Throw her out!"
The guards understood immediately and advanced toward Bonnie with darkened expressions.
Bonnie had zero interest in getting into a physical altercation with grown men and being dragged out looking pathetic.
She spoke with absolute disgust, "Don't bother touching me. I can walk out myself. The air in here is making me sick anyway."
With that, she turned on her heel and strode purposefully toward the exit.
She hadn't made it far outside when she ran right into Quentin heading her way.
The man moved with long, powerful strides. Beside him was a middle-aged man in a sharp suit, bowing and nodding with an aggressively flattering smile.
Seeing Bonnie, a flicker of confusion crossed Quentin's dark eyes. "Why are you out so fast? Did you not find anything you liked?"
His deep, magnetic voice cut smoothly through the sweltering summer air, sounding incredibly soothing.
The knot of frustration in Bonnie's chest inexplicably untangled itself.
She pouted slightly. "Don't even ask. I just got kicked out."
Quentin's relatively calm expression plummeted into absolute zero.
He turned his head, his cold gaze snapping to the middle-aged man beside him.
The man was the Harlow City General Manager for the entire auto group. Hearing Bonnie's words, a cold sweat instantly soaked his shirt.
"Mr. Vance, there must be a terrible misunderstanding! It's absolutely a case of some blind employee acting out of line. A complete failure of duty!"
