Rebirth of the Movie Queen: Mrs. Sinclair, Please Hug Me! Chapter 419: A New Female Companion
Quinn Lockwood and Elias Sinclair lived under the sa roof, in such an intimate relationship, yet it felt as if they were worlds apart.
She rembered when she first was reborn into this body, her relationship with Elias was this kind of distant cooperation.
It was only through collaboration on endorsents that they could maintain contact and communication.
"What’s up, Sharon?" Quinn opened her eyes to check the ti and address on the invitation, only to find Sharon Shaw still standing beside her, her gaze deep and contemplative, as if she had sothing to say to Quinn.
"Nothing, nothing, I’ll just go prepare for tomorrow’s press conference for you."
"I’ve ordered succulent’s mackerel soup for you, and crispy delicious foil-wrapped pork too, it’ll be here soon." Sharon winked at Quinn, as playful and cute as always.
Actually, she felt quite sorry for Quinn.
Sharon sotis had an inexplicable feeling towards Quinn, as if they had been best friends for years; often Quinn didn’t need to say anything, just a simple glance or action, and Sharon could understand her aning.
Quinn looked at Sharon standing beside her, her crescent-moon eyes still curved, carrying a sense of ease and delight, making anyone who looked at them feel at ease, as if their mood would also improve.
Fortunately, in this sowhat oppressive day, there was Sharon to help her handle the bad things happening within the company.
Not long after Sharon left, dinner was delivered, but Quinn didn’t have much appetite; she only ate a little before continuing with the tasks for the new artists under her wing.
The next evening, Quinn appeared punctually at the launch event for the Sinclair Group’s new product.
She wore a pure black off-shoulder gown, with a slender waist adorned by a light blue sheer silk ribbon, adding a touch of calm and pleasantness amid the mysterious and noble black.
The woman’s complexion was fair and beautiful, with a delicate and petite nose above lips as red and vibrant as blooming roses.
But those brilliant apricot eyes were so dim, like they were a deep abyss.
Quinn scanned the launch event site, as if looking for soone.
But she never found them.
"Good evening, ma’am."
The Sinclair Group employees greeted Quinn with customary politeness, and she responded with a gentle smile to each.
She felt as though so strange glances were directed at her.
"Savannah." Just as Quinn was feeling increasingly uneasy, Caron Grant softly called her from behind.
"Brother, you’re here." Quinn turned around, for so reason, at the mont she saw Caron, she felt a sudden calm.
Perhaps it was because there was at least one familiar face in this vast launch hall.
Quinn and Caron stood together, as so high-status executives and shareholders ca over to exchange polite greetings.
Just as Quinn was feeling a bit noisy, the banquet hall suddenly quieted down, and people began to move in one direction, forming a row.
"Good evening, sir."
Quinn followed the sound and saw Elias Sinclair in a high-quality custom-tailored black suit, his figure as tall and upright as ever, his expression as cold and unperturbed as usual.
Quinn’s eyes briefly lit up when she saw Elias, but soon grew dim again.
Because accompanying him was lody Shepherd, in a pure white slit gown, complenting Elias’s suit perfectly.
She smiled lightly and nodded to the shareholders greeting Elias, exuding the air of an elegant and noble hostess.
Quinn’s hand at her side clenched tightly.
She pressed her lips together tightly, a part of her heart twisting, yet her face maintained an expression of calm detachnt.
"Brother, let’s go check over that way, it looks like there are so desserts." Quinn redirected her gaze, turning toward Caron to avoid catching sight of Elias.
All she wanted now was to quickly leave this place.
The bitterness and jealousy in her heart were about to overwhelm her.
She wanted to escape...
"Sure, okay." Caron didn’t notice Quinn’s odd deanor.
His eyes were clear and bright, radiating a charmingly gentle hue.
Hearing Quinn wanted to go find dessert made him think she was no longer bothered by the rumors, and he felt reassured.
"Let’s buy so pastries for Sharon when we head back after the launch." Quinn casually chatted with Caron as she walked to the other side of the banquet hall, as if she hadn’t even seen Elias.
anwhile, Elias and lody stood together at the center of the venue, though lots of shareholders surrounded him, reporting on the product launch’s progress, his expression grew darker and more intense.
His peripheral vision constantly tracked Quinn, his deanor cold and dangerous, with black turmoil in his eyes threatening to overflow.
The fact that this woman was completely ignoring him now.
His long, narrow eyes narrowed nacingly, his gaze frosty, and his voice chilling enough to send shivers down one’s spine: "Report the product matters to Kevin later."
"Let’s go over there." Elias glanced at lody, gesturing for her to follow, then began striding toward where Quinn was standing.
He halted not far from where Quinn stood, by a champagne rack, casually picking up a drink.
The shareholders and employees who had just been reporting to Elias knew of lody’s past relationship with their boss.
And they noticed how their current boss, Quinn, hadn’t spoken to Elias since the party began.
Employees couldn’t help but start whispering: "Why aren’t the boss and his wife together for this official event? Shouldn’t they be side by side? Why is it lody Shepherd here?"
"Who knows? Before they were public, his partner was always madam. Suddenly they’re apart, and look at lody, her whole attire, even her deanor is as graceful as a legitimate hostess."
The old employees’ voiced discussions were not too loud, but loud enough for Quinn to hear them as she faced the window, pretending to look at the moon.
Both she and Caron heard them.
Quinn’s smile froze on her face.
