She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 276

Ethan Leigh: [You’re buying a laptop?]

Quinn Avery: [Yes, mine broke. I want to get a new one. Just something practical, it doesn't need to be high-end.]

Ethan Leigh: [I happen to have some free time right now. I’ll come with you.]

Quinn Avery: [Aren't you on a business trip?]

Ethan was originally scheduled to be away, but the client had a minor emergency, forcing him to postpone.

Quinn had intended to ask for his help recovering the data on her laptop the night before, but knowing he was away, she hadn't bothered him.

She was a little surprised to hear he was free.

[You're in Fairmont right now? Please don't delay your work because of me. Just tell me the model and specs, and I can go buy it myself.]

Ethan Leigh: [The trip got postponed. I was actually just about to head to the electronics mall to look at laptops anyway. I can help you pick one out while I’m there.]

Seeing their boss stand up abruptly, everyone in the conference room exchanged confused glances.

Ethan's assistant cleared his throat. "Mr. Leigh has an urgent matter to attend to. The meeting will continue without him."

...

Miles stared at the red swelling on Jade’s cheek, his brow furrowed deeply. He ordered Hunter to go buy some swelling-reduction ointment.

Only he and Jade remained in the office. Cupping her painful cheek, Jade spoke in a fragile, trembling voice:

"Miles, the laptop Lynn applied for was barely used. It’s not really a secondhand device. I only brought it to Quinn as a peace offering."

Miles had stopped reprimanding Quinn earlier precisely because he heard Jade tried to push Lynn’s old laptop onto her. Hearing her excuse now only made his frown deepen.

"Jade... no matter the intentions, you shouldn't have given Quinn a secondhand item."

He replaced his own laptop with the newest model every month, and he would never dream of giving his hand-me-downs to Quinn. If he was going to give a gift, it would be brand new. Otherwise, he wouldn't give anything at all.
