Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 698 - 363: Extra: Falling for Him 1

Christine Quinn had some doubts that her eyes were playing tricks on her.

"How is that possible?" Skyler Jones glanced at Christine Quinn, slightly frowning, "I was about to ask how you could be so rude and come in without knowing how to knock?"

"Sorry, CEO, I thought no one was inside..." Christine Quinn bowed her head to explain, feeling somewhat puzzled, "Uh, CEO, it’s so late, why are you still here?"

Skyler Jones’s gaze returned to the quotation sheet in front of him, "The project Paul Wilson is handling is bidding tomorrow, I need to go over it one more time," he said lightly.

"You don’t have to check it yourself, the company has actuaries." Christine Quinn took a step forward.

Skyler Jones shrugged, "Everyone was off work when I came back, and I don’t have the habit of calling employees to work overtime suddenly."

"You could have called me, I can help you review it, doing it alone would be slow." She was his secretary, responsible for assisting him with such tasks.

"You?" Skyler Jones raised his head, lazily giving her a glance, "Weren’t you having dinner with your boyfriend?"

Christine Quinn was embarrassed, "No, just a friend I haven’t seen for a long time... not a boyfriend, I don’t..." Christine Quinn wanted to explain that she didn’t have a boyfriend, but realizing she was saying too much, she stopped. "Let me help you review it!"

Christine Quinn smiled and walked over to Skyler Jones, gesturing for him to make room.

Skyler Jones immediately got up, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and sat on a chair, quietly observing her.

Christine Quinn settled into his leather chair, adeptly picking up the material list and the quotation sheet, and started reviewing them seriously.

Skyler Jones’s gaze was fixed on Christine Quinn, the smoke swirling around his eyes, making her appear somewhat dreamy.

For some reason, seeing her often brought him a sense of joy.

He noted that Christine Quinn liked to wear light-colored clothes, soft blues or very light purples, giving a calm and sweet impression; in his office, where cool tones dominated, her presence often brought a sense of warmth.

Besides, she was truly beautiful.

Whether it was copying, faxing, delivering documents, or arranging his schedule, her every move could always catch people’s attention.

Undeniably, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Today, returning from outside and finding her absent actually made him a bit restless, and only after asking around did he find out she had gone off work... simply leaving on time, he could have no objections as a boss.

Leaning against the window, Skyler Jones nonchalantly asked, "You don’t have a boyfriend?"

Christine Quinn, who was looking at the quotation sheet, paused slightly, replying truthfully, "Yes, tonight I just went out with a friend."

Skyler Jones asked nothing more, and his gaze moved away from Christine Quinn.

Christine Quinn suddenly became a bit nervous, not expecting Skyler Jones to ask her such a personal question all of a sudden.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Christine Quinn focused again on the quotation sheet in front of her.

Suddenly, "Huh..." Christine Quinn’s quick actions abruptly stopped, lowering her head to closely inspect the quotation sheet, "CEO, this number seems off?"

"Hmm?" Skyler Jones extinguished his cigarette butt and walked over to her.

"Here, this number seems to be wrong..." Christine Quinn looked up abruptly, only realizing how close Skyler Jones was as she almost bumped into his face.

She immediately turned her head back, eyes glued to the quotation sheet, trying to stay calm, not understanding why her heart was racing.

Thump, thump...

Her heartbeat grew faster, and she couldn’t suppress it, even feeling like she could hear her own heartbeat.

Oh my, why is he standing so close?

Skyler Jones stood behind her, one hand propped on the table, the other holding the quotation sheet, his chest almost brushing her hair, "You are looking very carefully..." he leaned down, his pleasant masculine scent brushing her hair tips.

His deep male voice made her so nervous that she nearly lost strength, her body freezing in the chair.

Skyler Jones continued to look at the quotation sheet.

He could of course spot the problem with the quotation sheet at a glance; he could have pointed out the issue in a minute, but now, he changed his mind.

From where he stood, he could easily see Christine Quinn’s nervousness and shyness, which awakened the predator instinct in him, making this far more interesting than solving the issue quickly.
