The maids quickly scattered to continue their chores, desperate to avoid her glaring eyes.
Gail spoke up softly. "Ms. York, Mr. York wouldn't let me take it."
She had tried to reach for the laptop earlier, but he had actively refused to hand it over.
How was that the staff's fault?
Sienna chimed in, "Macy, stop yelling at the maids. It looked like Miles wanted to do it himself."
Macy scoffed in utter disbelief. "You're blind. My brother would never volunteer to carry her stupid laptop. Didn't you see how furious he looked? He definitely just went in there to yell at her."
Back in her room, Quinn reached out and took the laptop, hoping Miles wouldn't follow her inside.
Whenever he stepped into her small room, it felt like the very oxygen was sucked out of the air.
"It's just a few steps," Miles said, his voice low and laced with an unreadable tension.
Quinn ignored him. In her eyes, Miles was permanently stuck with an expressionless, iceberg-like demeanor.
She fully expected him to drop off the laptop and leave.
Yet, the man stood completely still in front of her, practically radiating cold air like an ice sculpture.
She frowned and tried to move past him to open the window, but his imposing frame blocked her path.
He refused to budge an inch.
The room was already cramped, and with her injured leg, his looming presence was suffocating.
Annoyed, she finally snapped, "Do you need something?"
Miles just stared at her in dead silence, the freezing aura around him growing heavier.
Quinn felt like he was having another one of his psychotic episodes.
Since he refused to speak, she decided to ignore him. She limped over to the bed, opened her laptop, and went about her business, treating him like empty air.
Watching her blatantly ignore him finally pushed him over the edge.

I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
