After Sam and Quinn returned to their office from the board conference room, Sam promptly dropped on his chair and started to shake from head to toe.Quinn could not help giggling just then. "You were actually scared? Could have fooled me, especially when you rendered Gilbert speechless.""I'm a boss, aren't I?! I should at least show I have the spine," Sam said, taking a deep breath to calm himself. "Those gloomy geezers are somehow still scary… by the way, how did I do? Don't you think those geezers would hold a grudge and try to get back at me somehow?""No," Quinn assured him. "They would only think that there's finally someone worthy enough to keep Saunderia going.""Really?" Sam remained skeptical. "Are you sure Gilbert wouldn't stab me in the back after I embarrassed him so much?""He's just concerned you'd fail. If you succeed, they'll think highly of you and come to trust you," Quinn told him."That mean I did well?" Sam's lips were clearly curling up just then."Very."

Quinn stared at Sam's hand, suddenly a little flustered since he had never taken the lead like this. There were times he walked so quickly she really had to jog just to keep up, and he always kept his own pace, not caring that she was wearing heels."Come on," he said, turning to look at her just then.Quinn came to her senses, and gave his hand a squeeze, prompting his heart to skip a beat.He turned his face aside, obviously flushing up to his ears.After lunch they returned to TSL's headquarters in the afternoon.This time, Sam told her to sit in a corner and watch him put on a performance. She hence watched as he walked over to the front desk, and the receptionist appeared clearly impatient when she saw Sam."I'm sorry, but I can't help you," she explained nonetheless. "Mr. Craig really isn't in, and he'd usually be away for a week while on leave. He doesn't like talking about work in that period either, so I can only suggest that you return after a few days.""Wasn't lo

Anna was a little surprised. "Is that it?""What, do I look like the type who troubles others?" Sam shrugged.Anna and the other women were certainly having a pleasant time with him, and they began to tell him everything."Damian Craig's a family man through and through. Loves his wife and babies his two sons—they go on a trip together every year.""He doesn't have a hobby… or at least, we've not heard anything about it in the office anyway. He doesn't drink much or socialize—he heads straight home after work. His family is what he cares most about.""And his house is…" Anna thought about it, and said, "Why don't we trade numbers? I can send you the location—it'd be more accurate."Sam quickly did so as Quinn looked on.She had not seen him smile as much as he did now.-After dinner, Sam picked up the check and sent off the ladies in taxis. It was finally over then, and Sam was grinning with a sense of accomplishment even as he checked the address Anna sent. "Alright. This

Quinn followed Sam distractedly—she definitely saw him watching her staring at those bags, but he really did not care…Nonetheless, they were soon in their car again, heading straight to Damian's house, which was a huge mansion in the outskirts.The weather was just fine, even therapeutic, with the bright blue skies and peaceful clouds. Quinn sighed. "I'd like a place like this too when I'm older… away from the bustle and spending the rest of my years with the people I love.""You're into this sort of place?" Sam said with slight contempt—it was so quiet that there were no traces of night life at all."Just saying." Quinn sighed—she certainly knew that Sam would not like a place like this, since he seemed innately drawn to liveliness.They pressed on the doorbell without delay, and a servant approached them before returning inside.Then, she returned after a long while, inviting them inside as the gates opened. It was all green inside, with two children running along the lawn

As Quinn did a double take, she soon understood that Sam did not immediately lose in order to pique the boys' interest so they would understand the joy of their hard work paying off.She seemed to have made it a habit of denouncing him.Meanwhile, Sam and the boys kept playing for a while until Damian called for them. As the boys reluctantly left the lawn, they asked if they could play with Sam again.Sam headed to the room Damian prepared for him and took a shower, since he would be in no state to discuss anything when he was sweating all over.Feeling refreshed afterward, he and Quinn had lunch together with everyone in Damian's home.The boys liked Sam and kept chatting him up as he ate.Sam was patient with them as well and had a good sense of humor. The two children hence kept hovering around him until Judith took them to their rooms for a siesta.The drawing room turned quiet without the boys, and Damian led Sam and Quinn to his study.Damian took out their proposal and e
