78 Doesn’t exist

"So...What now?" Queen asked as she looked at Quince. She was now back to her disguise with a whole new outfit purchased exclusively for her.

Quince turned to look at his fiancée with a cold expression on his face. She had her wig back on and her glasses were in place along with the old fashioned bun on her head.

The only difference from yesterday was the smile gracing her face and the mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

'Lively as usual.' Quince mused silently as he stared at her, feeling relaxed. He much preferred her like this, with a smile on her face.

"We work." Quince replied shortly without saying anything more.

"I know that! But the spy....?!" Queen continued pestering him.

"Doesn't exist." Quince said and took his cellphone out to read the news.

"Does...Doesn't exist?!!!!" Queen yelled, her eyes as wide as saucers. "What the heck does that mean?!!"

'That's like telling a child there is cake but there isn't!'

"Meaning my dear fiancée" Quince paused before continuing, "You just got played"

"Huh?" Queen had such a stupefied look on her face that Quince chuckled lightly. He raised his hand and stroke her cheek lightly.

"My mother probably lied to you, to keep you by my side for as long as possible" Quince explained to the shocked Queen.

"Bu...but why?" Queen in her state didn't notice Quince's hand at all.

"That's actually your fault. She likes you a lot so she wants you to stay with me." Quince decided to take pity on her and finally explained why.

"So there is no spy?" Queen asked still looking like the soul left her body. All those plans she created...it's all for nothing!

"Don't worry Miss Vancroft, I'm sure you can always find something else to play with." Quince said before leaning in to kiss her forehead.

It was a quick kiss before he went right back to scrolling his phone, making Queen wonder whether it truly happened.

Soon enough, Queen shook it off like nothing happened. He is her fiancé and her beloved cat, a small kiss between best friends was alright.

"So what am I supposed to do now?" Queen asked looking frustrated. She suddenly stopped as a sudden realization hit her.

"The contract....!" She looked absolutely shocked when she thought about it.

"Hmm...?" Quince turned to her and waited for her to speak.

"I signed a one year contract with your company!

I thought since it was just a ploy to catch the spy, I didn't think much of it." Queen swallowed.

"Do...do you think I really have to stay for one year?" She asked hesitantly as she stared at Quince.

'Is that a joke? It would be so boring you know!!! I have so much more interesting stuff to do!'

"You signed the contract did you not? It is completely valid." Quince shrugged uncaringly, even though he was rejoicing in his heart.

Quince knew she wasn't the type of girl to stay somewhere for long. She was always looking for adventures and opportunities to do something fun. If this contract could tie her down to be by his side for a year, he would gladly accept it.

'I'll find some ways to extend the contract in the future.' Just as Quince was thinking that Queen suddenly yelled, "oh! Oh! Oh!"

"What?" Quince turned to ask her, a warning glint in his eyes as he stared at her.

"You can just fire me right? After all I won't be working in the corporate world as the employee in the future!" Queen looked extremely excited after saying the sentence.

'I can finally free myself from the boring corporate world!' Queen thought excitedly.

"No way" Quince replied shattering her dreams completely.

"But why?!!"

"I won't have my fiancée name's being ruined if this matter was every found out. Also, you made your own bed, now lie in it." Quince said simply before ignoring her.

After that no matter what Queen said, Quince wouldn't oblige. They soon reached the company and both had to go to work.

Since there was a private parking space, with an elevator that leads straight to Quince's office, no one saw them together.

Queen had stopped complaining by now as she already thought of some interesting thing to do.

Quince narrowed his eyes and observed her slightly without saying anything. He knows that look by now.

'She is up to something again.'

Queen could hardly stop giggling at her 'heart shattering' plan. But she soon regained her icy expression as it was time for work to start.
