Chapter 1365 Quinn shoved the door open, but the private room was empty.
She glanced back at Kyle. "Did we mess up the room number?" "Nope, this is the spot," Kyle said, checking his phone. "Maybe they're just running late?" "Let's just chill in here," Quinn said, stepping inside. There were fruit plates and drinks on the table, but no sign of anyone.
Cody was being his usual unreliable self. He set up the meeting and then didn't show on time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuinn and Kyle hung out for about ten minutes. Just as Kyle was about to text Cody, the door swung open. Cody and his translator strolled in.
Cody had on black-rimmed glasses and a blue suit, looking like your average office drone. But when he reached out to shake hands, a Richard Mille watch worth nine hundred grand peeked out from under his sleeve. He was definitely low-key; Quinn hadn't even noticed the watch until Kyle whispered the price to her.
The brand wasn't mainstream, but anyone who knew it would realize Cody wasn't just sregular guy.
No one would buy such a niche fake to flex.
The translator said, "Sorry we're late, traffic was a nightmare. Thanks for waiting." Quinn smiled and shook her hand. "No worries. We just got here too." "Take a seat. To make up for being late, dinner's on me," Cody said.
He wasn't exactly a looker, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His goofy smile made him seem like a hardworking office guy.
Quinn knew he was trying to keep his rich-kid status under wraps, so she played along. She treated him like a regular office worker, constantly praising his skills, which made him puff up with pride. Cody sat up straighter, clearly buying into it.
When they got down to business, Quinn said, "Your company's new product just launched. We've got a big demand, but we need to check the quality first before committing." Cody's smile dropped, and he assured Quinn there'd be no issues with the new product.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQuinn stood her ground, and after a lot of back-and-forth, she finally agreed to a two-month trial period. If the product met her standards, they'd sign a long-term deal. Cody thought it over and finally agreed.
Quinn's two-month condition wasn't really about the product; it was to keep Cody in the loop. If they signed right away. Cody might ghost her, and she'd have no reason to reach out. With the two-month trial, Cody would definitely stay in touch to build a good relationship.
Connecting with Cody from the Logan family meant meetingo m Alexander was just a matter of time.
Cody was all about entertaining Quinn and Kyle, thinking he could handle his booze, and kept toasting them. Kyle drank for both of them and stayed sober, but Cody was the first to pass out. Looking at Cody, knocked out on the sofa, Quinn sighed and asked the translator to take him home. She and Kyle headed out too. According to Sprout's schedule, he should be waking up around now.
