79 What are you up to?

Queen intensely watched the clock as it ticked by slowly. She could barely concentrate on the work assigned to her.

"Aren't you going to complete your job Miss Wan Lin?" Quince asked coldly as he glanced at her.

"I'm almost done anyway, I'll continue in the afternoon." Queen answered coolly without tearing her eyes away from the clock.

Quince muttered something under his breath before breathing slowly.

"You do realize that you are my secretary and that you work for me right?" He asked as he gritted his teeth together.

"Of course. That's why I'm sitting here." Queen answered without a care in the world. Her eyes were still glued to the clock.

Quince was done with her disrespectful behavior. He stalked towards her table and lowered his head to be at her face level.

"Miss Vancroft" He said, "What are you up to?"

"Whatsoever do you mean?" Queen finally turned her head back towards him before having a surprised expression on her face.

"I saw your expression when we reached here. You have devious plans in your head again." Quince said with certainty with his eyes.

"Devious?!" Queen gasped before placing her hand on her chest. "Surely you jest! How could I ever do such a thing?"

"Oh, so you are saying the one whom devised that crazy plan on the cruise wasn't you?" Quince answered with a grim expression on his face.

"It could have been my twin sister or doppelgänger, you never know" Queen answered with a thoughtful expression on her face, seeming to believe her own words.

Quince's forehead throbbed rhythmically at her answer. This woman never fails to surprise him.

"Miss Vancroft" Quince whispered in a low voice, "If anything like that were to happen once more...." He trailed off dangerously, his eyes boring into hers.

"Don't worry" Queen said and placed her hand on his forehead, "I won't do anything like that" She tilted her face slightly upward and kissed his forehead gently,right on his throbbing veins.

Quince completely froze at her unexpected yet pleasant action. He abruptly turned around to hide the slight blush on his face.

"You better not" Quince warned icily. His tone was ice cold while his face was burning hot.

"Yeah I won't!" Queen said before turning back to look at the clock, missing his blushing face once again.

Queen counted the seconds that drifted by, until it was finally noon.

"Lunch time!" Queen yelled before shooting up from her table.

"I'll be going for lunch boss" She said with a mighty cold expression before sauntering out of his office.

Quince merely watched her leave without saying a word.

However, in the next moment he immediately open the screen to where he could access all the cctv cameras and watched her movements.

He saw her walked out of the building before calling the taxi at the entrance.

"Where are you going?" Quince wondered as he stared at the disappearing car. He didn't follow further as he continued staring at the monitor, patiently waiting for her to return.

'Knock, Knock' There was a knock on the door, and after receiving permission from Quince, the marketing manager entered.

"Boss, I am here for the appointment" The manager said simply.

Quince then closed his monitor screen as he remember setting up this small meeting with the marketing manager.

"Proceed" He said easily before giving his full attention to the manager.
