She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 270

His heart pounded wildly in his chest. How could he possibly dare to refuse?

He quickly replied with absolute deference, "Mr. York, I... I'm not busy at all right now."

He pulled out another chair and sat right between Miles and Quinn.

As a result, Quinn had Wayne on her right, and Miles had Wayne on his left.

The five or six dishes they had ordered were brought to the table one by one. With the CEO present, Wayne suddenly felt the food wasn't enough.

"Mr. York, I'll go order a few more dishes. Please, take your time and eat."

The CEO remained entirely expressionless. Wayne turned to Quinn. "Ms. Avery, please start without me. I'll be right back."

Once Wayne rushed off, Miles turned his icy gaze to the woman sitting across from him.

"Quinn Avery, this is the York Plaza cafeteria. Watch your behavior and keep a professional distance from my employees. Stop stirring up disgusting rumors that will make me look bad."

Quinn paused mid-bite upon hearing his words.

She looked up at the arrogant man opposite her. "Miles, I've told you before, you are out of your mind and need to see a doctor. No one here even knows about our arrangement, so how exactly am I going to stir up disgusting rumors?"

Miles's face turned livid. He lowered his voice, delivering a sharp warning, "Quinn, you are always so fierce and unhinged. You have absolutely none of the grace or elegance a woman should have. It's one thing for you to be so uncouth, but don't you dare ruin Luna when you see her."

A frigid chill shot through Quinn's heart, and a cold, mocking smirk curled her lips.

"Does a lady have to act like your little childhood friend? Playing weak and innocent every day, opening her mouth only to spew fake, calculated sweetness? Is that your standard for grace and elegance?"

Miles snapped, "I'm talking about you. Leave Jade out of this."

Hunter finished his phone call and hurried back. Shock registered on his face when he saw the CEO sitting in what was supposed to be Wayne's seat, and he quickly rushed over.

"M-Mr. York, when did you start eating in the cafeteria?"

"Mr. York, Manager West said Ms. Avery's laptop... was severely damaged. The hard drive couldn't be read easily, so it took some extra time."

Miles thought back to how happily Wayne and Quinn had been chatting just moments ago, and how the man's eyes had practically been glued to her.

Combined with the thrilled look on Wayne's face when they exchanged numbers, Miles suspected the tech manager had deliberately stalled for time.

Unable to voice his petty jealousy aloud, he kept his handsome face pulled into a dark scowl and shot Hunter a lethal glare.

His tone was absolute: "Manager West's technical skills are subpar. He is unfit to be the IT manager. Have HR transfer him to a junior position."

Hunter's eyes widened in shock. The boss was saying Wayne's skills were subpar?

The physical damage to the hard drive had been catastrophic. Recovering that data was an incredibly grueling process, and Wayne hadn't slacked off for a second. The boss was being completely unreasonable.

A chill ran through Quinn's veins. She stared at him in utter disbelief, her eyes surging with disappointment and raw fury.
