33 Is it possible?!

Quince couldn't move his gaze from the girl sleeping soundly in front of him. Her mischievous

eyes were closed and the usual wide smile was turned into a soft light smile on her face.

She looked peaceful and happy as if she were having one of the most beautiful dreams.

Quince couldn't help sighing at her. It's been lesser than 10 hours since they met, yet the feelings he had for her were indescribable.

He didn't understand why he felt such need to protect her. Nor does he understand the longing in his heart when it comes to her. He didn't know what was happening to him.

He gently massaged his eyes before continuing to look at the documents, leaving Queen in her peaceful slumber.

While he was taking a shower, he got a confirmation from his family that she was indeed his fiancée.

Even though the ring he got from her was genuine, he was still quite surprised when he got a confirmation from his family.

He wasn't sure how to describe his feelings at the moment. Everything was just too bizarre. He decided to bury those feelings deep down and concentrate on the case instead.

He looked at Queen once more and saw that she was trembling a bit. Quince didn't particularly feel cold by the temperature in his office so it didn't cross his mind that she would.

But seeing the sight in front of him, he texted One to get him a blanket, before increasing the temperature of the room.

He continued looking at the documents until he got a text from One that he was standing in front of the room. Quince walked out to get the blanket from One before entering the room once more.

He stood beside Queen and bent down to cover her back with the soft velvet blue blanket in his hands. He was pleasantly surprised to see that she immediately rubbed her face and snuggled into the blanket.

"You sure look comfortable." He whispered softly, with a smile on his face. His eyes were so unbelievably gentle that he himself wouldn't believe that he could look at anyone with that gaze.

He went back to diligently reading his documents, accompanied by her soft breaths. The cruise slowly drifted along the sea and the moon gently shone in from the window. It was definitely a very peaceful scene.

It took a little over an hour before Queen finally stirred and opened her eyes. She blinked confusedly at her surroundings before remembering where she was.

"Awake sleeping beauty?" Quince asked with a straight face.

"Aww, you are so sweet." Queen immediately teased back with a smile on her face.

"You do realize that I do not mean it literally?" Quince raised one of his brows slightly and looked at her.

"It doesn't matter~ Even if I'm not beautiful in your eyes, you told me that I am still the only one for you." Queen grinned cheekily.

Quince ignored her sense of self praise before saying,"What about the documents that I gave you?"

"Oh that..."Queen trailed off and gave him a sheepish smile before saying,"Give me a few more minutes! I'll be done with it!" Even though Quince gave her a thick pile of documents to check, her pile was still way thinner than his, enabling her to complete it much faster.

Quince had a smile hidden in his eyes as he took in her embarrassed expression. It was a rare chance to witness such expressions on her face.

The both of them continued to work diligently for 40 more minutes before they are finally done with the documents.

"You go first" Queen waved her hand at Quince in a 'Please start' gesture tiredly.

"These 5 have been in business together for at least 5 years. They are an engineering firm and their main source of income is through working on various projects they get. According to the the information I just read, the only possible conflict that they may have...is the new project they have been offered." Quince said.

"What project?" Queen asked, curiosity brimming in her eyes.

"They have been offered by Company Ply to design and build a semi military base for them. This company mainly sells weapons but they want to shift into another dimension. They want to have their own military power and train people to become soldiers."

"Is that even possible?!" Queen asked eyes wide.

To do that they would need approval from the government along with the military head!

"No. The government and military already refused their appeal." Quince answered simply.

"Then what's the problem?" Queen asked.

"Company Ply still insists on building it, in secret of course. They changed the plan of the base to a normal office building but the base is still secretly hidden inside."

"If it's a secret...then how did you know?" Queen wondered aloud.

"The government isn't stupid. They will obviously keep track of such a dangerous company and send spies in secret. I got the information from the military." Quince replied openly.

He decided that he wasn't going to hide his connections with the military from her. After all, she was his fiancée and she needed to know that sooner or later.

"I see...and the engineers are in conflict because some want to build this for them and some don't?" Queen guessed.

"Precisely Miss Vancroft. To be exact, Mr.Noah and Mr.Albert are against it. Mr.Stuart and Mr.Dake are for it. As for Mr. Bernard, he still hasn't given his vote." Quince replied.

It was easy to guess their motivations behind their vote. Noah and Albert probably didn't want to be in trouble with the government and military and so wanted to avoid this hot potato.

As for Mr.Dake and Mr.Stuart, they probably wanted the connections from this deal since they already had enough money. As for why they wanted this connection...only they themselves know it.

"But now Mr.Bernard is dead." Queen murmured softly.

"Yes he is." Quince said.

"How do you think this matter would settle?"

"That is not our issue to worry about." Quince replied.

They didn't know who kill him. It could be anyone at this point. All of them clearly had their motivations.

"So what information did you get?" Quince continued asking.

"Brace yourself. The information I got will blow your mind away." Queen said with a sly smile on her face.

Quince kept silent as he waited for her to speak.

" It is true that they are never seen together at once. But the only two people that's never seen together at the same time are Mr.Dake and Mr.Stuart." Queen said before continuing.

"However, I found something strange about them. Look at their pictures." Queen said before showing the photographs One got to Quince.

Quince stared at the pictures and could see very slight similarity in the shape of their faces but nothing else. They simply looked too different.

Mr.Dake had a bushy beard whereas Mr.Stuart face was clean shaven. Mr.Dake had black eyes whereas Mr.Stuart had brown eyes. Mr.Dake looked slightly plump while Mr.Stuart was thin and fit. They looked as different, it was impossible to link them together.

"What are you trying to say? Apart from the fact that they look really different." Quince said.

"Yes, with the human's eyes." Queen nodded her head before handing a page from her document over to Quince.

Quince looked at that document and stiffened in surprise. He was shocked by the information.

'Is this really what I think it is?'
