Chapter 380 A New Friend
Quinn quickly pulled her shirt back up, her face burning. “Lucy!”
The night before they left the foreign country, they’d gone to a local hot spring.

Julian had never tried anything like that in the water before-it felt like a whole new world to him. He’d kissed every inch of her skin.
“Wow.” Lucy whistled. “Things got pretty intense, huh?”
Quinn was mortified and turned to walk away.
Lucy hurried after her, apologizing. “Okay, okay, I’m sorry! I’ll show you my hickeys someday when I get a boyfriend, how about that?”
Like she wanted to see those.
Quinn wasn’t angry-just incredibly shy.
Lucy coaxed her a little, and soon they were laughing again.
They had lunch together, then Lucy dragged her shopping.
Out of nowhere, they ran into Zeke.
Zeke had known for a while that Julian and Quinn were together.
He’d kept telling Julian to bring her around to meet their friends.
Julian hadn’t agreed yet.
He hadn’t expected to run into her like this.
He was closer to Lucy, so he greeted her first. “Lucy. Fancy seeing you here.”
Then he turned to Quinn. “Long time no see.”
Quinn barely knew him, so she just nodded politely.
Lucy chatted with him for a moment, then handed her bag to Quinn. “Hold this for me, I need to use the
restroom.”
They were at a café. As soon as Lucy left, Quinn and Zeke were left alone face-to-face.
The air felt awkward. Zeke spoke first.
“You and Julian have been together for a while now. I’ve been saying we should all get dinner. When are you free?”
“I’ll have to check with him,” Quinn said. “He’s pretty busy.”

Chapter 380 A New Friend
Truthfully, she wasn’t even sure if Julian planned to introduce her to his friends formally.
Zeke smiled. “Alright. I’ll bring it up with him.”
Finished
They exchanged a few more words. Quinn checked her phone, wondering why Lucy was taking so long.
Lucy finally returned a few minutes later, and Quinn visibly relaxed.
She really had no idea what to talk about with Zeke.
After finishing their coffee, the three went their separate ways. Lucy took Quinn shopping for a few handbags.
Lucy had to head home that evening, so they parted ways before dinner.

Quinn explained calmly, “We ran into each other by chance. I was there with my friend. He’s a friend of my boyfriend’s-we just talked for a few minutes.”
The girl, Zoe Jinn, paused. “You have a boyfriend?”
Quinn nodded. “He’s friends with Zeke.”
She added, “If you don’t believe me, I can call him to prove it.”
“No need,” Zoe said. She studied her. “If your boyfriend’s friends with Zeke, then do you know who the girl Zeke’s been seeing is?”
Quinn said, “I barely know him. I didn’t even know he was getting engaged. How would I know about any other girl?”
“I see,” Zoe said, giving her a skeptical once-over. “Alright. I had the wrong person. Sorry.”
“It’s fine,” Quinn said. She hesitated, then asked, “Why don’t you just talk to Zeke directly?”
“Like I’d go chasing after him!” Zoe huffed. “That would be beneath me.”
The girl in front of her was spoiled, but very pretty and young-she didn’t even look twenty.
Quinn asked, “If you two are engaged, you have every right to confront him. Wait… are you even old enough?”
“I’m twenty!” Zoe suddenly grinned. “Since you’ve got good taste, I’ll let you be my friend. Name’s Zoe Jinn.”
She held out her hand.
Quinn shook it. “Quinn Lane.”
