As soon as the voice faded, someone slipped an arm around Quinn's waist. A large hand slid straight under her skirt, and Quinn tilted her head back slightly, pressing her neck against the man's mouth. Her eyes narrowed with pleasure as she started to melt into him.
After a while, the man behind her was clearly getting worked up, so Quinn quickly grabbed his hand and whispered, "Lennox, not yet. I came to talk to you about something, and it's important."
The shameless man was none other than Lennox. He had the look of a soft-featured pretty boy, and with his smooth talk, he was popular inside the Advanced Medical Institute.
Quinn was one of the women he had coaxed into his hands.
"Quinn, go on. We can pick up where we left off after you say it." Lennox chuckled, his grin turning wicked. "I've been burning up lately, so later I want to hear you scream all through the canyon."
Quinn shot him a sultry glare. "Your 'fire' is because of that bitch Mikayla, isn't it? You two have been awfully close lately. But whatever, that's not the point. Do you know my dad is planning to jump into the fight for Director?"
Lennox froze, then laughed dismissively. "Quinn, you won't like what I'm about to say, but… your dad? Mr. Avila? Compete? Please."
Quinn shook her head. "Maybe he didn't qualify before, which is why I told him to side with the Grand Elder, your father. But things are different now, because my dad has strong backup."
She continued, "I'm worried he won't listen to me and will insist on joining the fight for the position."
Lennox's expression went cold. "If that's true, then Quinn, don't blame me for being ruthless. You know exactly what kind of man your dad is. Honestly, if he really dares to covet that position, he's signing his own death warrant."
