Chapter 741
Ruby entered and turned her head toward the lounge, where she indeed saw Quinn from the photo.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. The screen displayed the photo taken earlier when Alexander and Quinn arrived at the company.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
In the photo, Alexander was impeccably dressed in a suit and tie. At the same time, Quinn sported a white turtleneck sweater, her hair neatly pulled back in a bun, with a lollipop she was enthusiastically enjoying. Quinn's eyes sparkled with vivacity, and her cheeks puffed out from the lollipop in her mouth, creating an image of endearing charm.
However, Alexander did not look askance. He was leading her into the company premises with confident strides, showing no signs of evasion or discomfort.
The intriguing part was that, for some inexplicable reason, the photo depicted them as a surprisingly compatible duo.
Ruby wondered, 'What does Alexander mean by this? Is he planning to reveal Quinn's identity?'
Ruby frowned as she walked into the lounge, standing in front of Quinn and scrutinizing her.
After a long time, Quinn seemed oblivious to her presence, continuing to snack on her own. It was only after a while that Quinn, belatedly, looked up and met Ruby's curious gaze. Ruby smiled slightly. "It's been a long time since I've seen you at work."
Quinn, with a cookie in her mouth, looked at Ruby in confusion, not understanding and not recognizing her.
Furthermore, fearing that Ruby might snatch her snacks, Quinn subtly pulled the snacks closer to herself.
Ruby found this somewhat odd. "What's wrong? It's been so long, and you don't recognize me?"
Quinn shook her head, indicating she didn't know her.
Ruby was a little confused, but she maintained her smile. "Has Mr. Kennedy assigned you any new tasks?"
Quinn didn't understand Ruby's words and had no intention of responding, continuing to search for more snacks on the coffee table.
If Ruby still couldn't sense that something was wrong with Quinn, she had failed as an assistant. Seeing that Quinn ignored her, Ruby smirked and turned to leave.
By this time, the group chats were buzzing with intense discussions about Quinn.

Someone had recognized her as a former employee of the company and had dug up her information.
Rumors swirled about Quinn. Some said she got her position through Kyle's connections, others hinted at a flirtation with Leon, and now she was supposedly involved with Mr. Kennedy. The gossip was getting more and more absurd. Eventually, the narrative took a disparaging turn: Quinn was portrayed as a cunning woman who used others to climb the corporate ladder.
"Ms. Anderson, is this true?" A colleague approached Ruby, knowing that she and Kyle might be the only ones who knew the truth.
Ruby paused her typing and glanced at the colleague. "What are you talking about?"
"It's this one. Aren't you in the group chat?" The female coworker handed her phone to Ruby.
Ruby took a quick look before focusing back on her work. "Seems like you have too much downtime. If you're looking for something to do, I can certainly find some tasks for you." The colleague pursed her lips and quickly put away her phone to get back to work.

When Ruby had just started working, she was notified of her transfer to the board office, which was not far from what Walter had speculated. Alexander had indeed promoted her. And now, Alexander had openly brought Quinn to the company. Ruby vaguely sensed that Alexander must have a plan.
Ruby sent the photo to Walter.
Walter was in a meeting when he received the message. He brazenly took out his phone during the conference, and of course, no one dared to say anything. Apart from Alexander, he was the highest authority there. If Alexander didn't speak, who would dare?
Walter's smile gradually faded as he looked at the photo. He glanced up at Alexander, who sat calmly in his chair, listening indifferently to the discussion. After the meeting ended, Walter didn't rush to leave. He waited until everyone had dispersed before calling out to Alexander. Walter called out, "Mr. Kennedy, hold on."
Alexander stopped and looked over his shoulder. "Mr. Smith, is there anything else?"
Walter stood up, smiling. "Everyone in the group seems to be curious about the woman Mr. Kennedy brought along. Shouldn't you be a bit more discreet?"
