She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 269

Miles was acting way too out of character today. Not only was he going to the cafeteria to eat, but he also wouldn't let her tag along?

Seeing Jade walk out with her eyes lowered, Lynn asked in confusion, "Secretary Winter, I just saw... Mr. York get into the elevator by himself. Why didn't he stay and eat the homemade lunch with you?"

Jade looked up, a venomous glare flashing in her eyes. The terrifying look made Lynn immediately drop her gaze, too terrified to ask anything else. She shrank back to her desk, trying to make herself invisible.

Mr. York... didn't eat the lunch with her?

No wonder... her expression was so frightening.

...

Meanwhile, Quinn, Wayne, and Hunter had already ordered their food.

Wayne pushed his glasses up his nose, looking a bit nervous. Taking advantage of Hunter stepping away for a moment, he eagerly asked Quinn a question.

"Ms. Avery, if you don't mind me asking, where do you work?"

Quinn hadn't expected Wayne to ask that. She smiled gently. "I just take freelance gigs right now. I translate documents for clients or work as an interpreter."

"Ms. Avery, so you're a translator! No wonder you carry yourself with such elegance."

Wayne's eyes were filled with deep admiration, and a hidden, burning interest.

He wasn't good with words, but he honestly thought she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Just looking at her made his heart race uncontrollably.

Quinn remained humble and poised. "Thank you for the compliment. I'm just a standard translator, I still have a lot to learn."

"You're too modest, Ms. Avery. Why don't we exchange numbers? My aunt runs a foreign trade company, and she occasionally needs freelance interpreters."

"Sure."

Quinn pulled up her WeChat QR code, and Wayne quickly scanned it, adding her.

"I'll definitely reach out if I have any business for you, Ms. Avery."

"Thank you for the recommendation, Wayne."

A few feet away, Miles stood tall and imposing in his bespoke suit, an unapproachable, freezing aura radiating from him.

Seeing Miles remain standing, Wayne panicked. Did the CEO want this specific table with the great view, or...

He figured he just hadn't pulled the chair out far enough. Terrified, he pulled it out wider.

Gesturing respectfully, he stammered, "Mr. York, p-please, have a seat."

Miles took a calm, unhurried step forward and sat down with effortless elegance. Crossing his long legs, his every movement oozed the natural authority of an absolute superior.

"Ms. Avery, let's... move to another table."

"This is Mr. York."

Quinn had no idea why Miles had to sit directly across from her when there were plenty of empty tables around.

It wasn't even the only window seat with a good view. He just had to interrupt her meal.

Seeing her stand up to move tables with Wayne, Miles turned to the IT manager. "I have something to discuss with you, Wayne. If you aren't busy, just sit down and eat with us."

Wayne panicked, assuming he had made a critical mistake at work for the CEO to personally seek him out.
