Love Unspoken

Alexander sneered and ignored Walter.

The elevator reached the eighteenth floor, and the three of them made their way to the conference room together. Inside, many people were already gathered, chatting and sharing New Year's anecdotes or grievances. As Alexander entered, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided, quickly falling into silence.

Alexander took the main seat, and Kyle pulled out a chair for him. But he didn't sit down.

His eyes scanned the individuals in the conference room before settling on the vacant seat to his left, which belonged to Landon.

Alexander redirected his gaze and casually remarked, "Our colleague Mr. Kennedy is currently unavailable due to an accident and is unable to come into the office. Mr. Smith is temporarily overseeing his responsibilities."

There was a moment of shared confusion as everyone glanced at each other. Since Landon was still relatively new to the company, it was an important time for him to establish his authority. His absence, despite any unexpected circumstances, felt odd. Wasn't he worried about the potential threat to his position?"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"Mr. Kennedy, has something happened to Landon?" someone dared to ask.

Alexander gazed at the person speaking with a neutral expression and responded, "It's a private matter. If you're interested, feel free to call and inquire directly."

The person shrunk back and fell silent.

Alexander added, "Despite Mr. Kennedy's absence from the company, our operations remain unaffected. Mr. Smith had previously managed the tasks that Mr. Kennedy is currently handling. If you have any inquiries, feel free to approach Mr. Smith directly."

"His words implied that Landon was dispensable to the company.

Upon hearing this, some people present began to waver in their thoughts.

Many within the company were aware of the tension between Landon and Alexander, with each of them building their own factions.

It was common knowledge that having more supporters, whether in middle management or as a CEO, increased one's security within the company.

However, with Landon's sudden absence, speculation began to arise.

Had he met with an accident, or had Alexander orchestrated his absence, resulting in his inability to show up at the company? The fact that his responsibilities were being delegated to Walter seemed indicative of a plan to sideline him.  

Alexander said, "Alright, let's begin now."

Alexander sat back down, and it was Walter's turn to stand up. He turned on the projector and started discussing the strategic plans for the new year's projects.

He spoke fluently while Alexander took out his phone, muted it, and looked at something.

Kyle, standing behind him, could clearly see that Alexander was watching Quinn's surveillance footage.

Orion was about to leave Amber Bay with Quinn.

Whispering Pines Resort was situated at the juncture of Amber Bay and Everglow City, a secluded mountain destination reachable by a four-hour drive. The entry fee was thirty thousand dollars, with additional expenses varying. Catering to the affluent, this destination was a haven sought by many wealthy individuals for both winter and summer getaways.

Quinn had fallen asleep in the car, and Orion parked at the service area, turning to look at Quinn.

Seeing her asleep, Orion took off his coat and covered her.

Just as he touched her, Quinn opened her eyes, and their eyes met.

Orion awkwardly smiled. ;"I was afraid you were cold and woke you up. I'm sorry."

Quinn stared at Orion for a while and gestured with her hand.

She could only make a few sign language gestures at the moment, all muscle memory from past use.

Both Orion and Alexander, observing the video from outside, could clearly see Quinn's gesture. Orion was left stunned, while Alexander, in disbelief, quickly stood up from his seat. What Quinn said was...

"Darling, I'm hungry."
