Quinn Avery replied with a modest, graceful smile. "Thank you for the compliment, Madame Virmont. I still have much to learn."
Madame Virmont thoroughly enjoyed her company. "Do you have any time this weekend? I'd love for you to join a few of us at my private estate."
"Oh, and I heard you have a goddaughter and a godson. You should bring them along. The other ladies will be bringing their little ones too."
Quinn realized she hadn't taken the kids out to play recently. It would be good for them to socialize with other children.
She smiled and nodded. "I'll ask them when I get home."
"Wonderful. I'll wait for your good news."
Madame Virmont was genuinely eager to host her and learn more about her cultural background.

Across the room, Jade Winter trailed closely beside Miles York. "Miles, Mr. Elon from Hans Group just brought up that multi-billion-dollar project. Why did you turn it down?"
A faint mist of annoyance clouded Miles's eyes, his tone indifferent. "Jade... I already gave my answer."
Jade met his deep, predatory gaze, her heart skipping a beat. Did Miles seem unhappy?
It was such a lucrative deal with guaranteed returns. Why did he say he needed to think about it?
If Mr. Elon had extended a partnership offer to Winter Group, she would have leapt at the chance without a second thought.
It was a multi-billion-dollar project!
Unfortunately, Winter Group lacked the scale to handle such a massive collaboration.
The difference in their corporate standing was too vast to even catch Mr. Elon's eye.
But if York Group partnered with Hans Group and brought Winter Group into the fold, that would change everything.

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....
