Quinn paused mid-sip of her hot milk. Not only had Jade waltzed right into the house, but she had also become Miles's personal secretary?
"Jade is very professional," Miles remarked.
"Miles, sit down and have a little more breakfast with me," Jade coaxed.
Miles had already eaten. He had just gone upstairs to change his clothes and normally wouldn't touch another bite.
But for Jade, he broke his own rigid rules.
Watching him sit at the table to keep Jade company, Quinn felt a wave of bitter irony.
In the past, when she saw he hadn't eaten much, she had worried about his stomach.
When he came downstairs fully dressed, she had brought him a bowl of warm chicken soup to soothe his digestion.
He had merely frowned and snapped, 'Quinn, didn't the staff tell you? I don't eat a second breakfast.'
It turned out that all his so-called unbreakable rules and habits were entirely conditional. It just depended on who he was breaking them for.
Quinn returned to her room, gathered her things, and got ready to head to the Smart-Tech International Summit for her translation gig.
Miles noticed Jade's neck. "What happened there?"
Jade tilted her slender neck, fully exposing her pale skin, and offered a gentle smile.
"Miles, I think a mosquito got in last night and bit me."
"They didn't clean the guest room properly? I'll have Gail deep-clean it again."
By the time Quinn emerged from her room, Miles and Jade were already in the car, with Hunter driving them away.
She ordered a rideshare on her phone and headed to the hotel to meet her client.
...
The Smart-Tech International Summit was held in the grand banquet hall of The Evergreen Seven-Star Hotel, the most luxurious venue in the city.
