"I have important things in there."
Miles York's expression darkened, and he gave an arrogant smirk. "Suit yourself."
If she had spoken with a better attitude, he might have recovered the data for her right there and then. It was child's play for him.
However, seeing her like this, he suppressed the urge to help. Let her struggle with it herself.
Even if he helped her, she wouldn't appreciate it and would still treat him like the villain. Why should he bother asking for a snub?
After arguing for so long, Miles had already forgotten why he had stormed into her room in the first place.
It wasn't until he stepped out that he remembered, frustratedly tugging at his collar.
...
Thin clouds obscured the morning sun, carrying a hint of chill in the breeze.
Quinn Avery hadn't slept well last night, her mind entirely focused on the manuscript trapped in her laptop.
She had originally wanted to reach out to Ethan Leigh, but knowing he was out of town on a business trip, she decided against messaging him.
She got up early that morning.
By the time Miles came downstairs, she was already sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast.
Jack spoke up. "Sir, Hunter is here."
The moment Quinn heard Hunter had arrived, she immediately set down her glass of milk, losing all appetite for her food.
Grabbing her broken laptop, she hurried over.
"Hunter, can the data in my laptop really be fully extracted?"
Hunter replied respectfully, "Yes, Ms. Avery. You can come to the company with us in a bit. The IT team won't take long to sort it out."
At that point, he glanced at his boss and adjusted his glasses. "Actually, Mr. York... he knows how to do it too."
Miles shot him a look of utter disgust, silently reprimanding him for talking too much.
Hunter quickly lowered his head, not daring to utter another word, and nodded before stepping outside to wait for them.
Immaculately dressed in a tailored suit, Miles descended the stairs with his usual aura of arrogant nobility and took a seat at the dining table.
Gail brought over his breakfast, and he began to eat at a leisurely pace.
He had expected Quinn to actively seek his help after hearing Hunter mention his skills, assuming her attitude improved.
