Love With My Billionaire Boss novel Chapter 60

 Interrogation.

The party went on smoothly, and Quinn was careful not to take any alcoholic wine. Her alcoholic tolerance was very low.

She tried to avoid some guests who were coming over to curry favor with her. This was the reason why she wanted to remain low-key.

Whenever someone influential appeared, naturally others would be tempted to gain favor with whosoever it was.

Quinn rolled her eyes in boredom... She was tired, and decided to step outside for some fresh air.

Henry who had been looking for an opportunity to talk to her, followed her out.

========================

( HENRY'S POV )

I followed her quietly, as she headed to a fountain. She sat on a vacant seat and I joined her.

A pleasant and nice scent engulfed my senses. She smelled nice!

Even her dressing today was mesmerizing. Why hadn't I noticed it before?

Quinn was fucking beautiful!

She stared at me. There was no surprised look on her face. It was almost as if she knew I had been following her.

"Spit it out." She said calmly.

"What?" I wasn't sure about what she meant.

"I know you have questions to ask me. Spit them out." Quinn said nonchalantly.

"How long have you been the Stones foster daughter?" I asked.

That was the only question I wanted to ask.

I wanted to know, if all along she had been their foster daughter, while working as my maid.

*After I left California. Don't ask me for details." Quinn drawled.

I chuckled; her response was as good as saying nothing at all...

"Why are you outside?" I asked.

"To get some fresh air. You?" Quinn asked back.

"Following you." I smirked.

We sat silently for a while, looking at the starry night.

It was quite chilly, and even I was beginning to get cold.

I noticed that Quinn was shivering slightly.

I removed my suit, and placed it over her shoulders.

She smiled in appreciation.

"Why don't we go back inside?" I suggested.

"Nah. I'm bored." Quinn replied calmly.

"Bored? A whole CEO is bored of a social gathering, as this?" I was amused by her response.

"Say what you want. I get bored easily." 

Silence took over again...

"When can I get to see your daughter?" I asked carefully.

*That's not possible, Mr Henry." Her response was sharp and crisp.

*I have no bad intentions. I just want to see the little girl." I said helplessly.

Why was she reacting in that manner?

*Well, thanks for your kind gesture. But my answer remains the same. If you don't mind, I have to return inside." I watched her leave.

My eyes darkened... She didn't want me to see her daughter?

Funny... I must see her.

I had a feeling that she may be my daughter.

But, it was still a speculation on my part.

.....................................

I went back inside, and sat at my previous table. My eyes landed on Quinn who was making her way to the bathroom.

I waited for a while, and followed suit.

She was about to close the door to the bathroom, when I held it back.
