Love Unspoken

Abigail had arranged to meet at her café, and she arrived together with Quinn.

Quinn sat by the window, her eyes fixed on the wound on Abigail's forehead. She felt a bit uneasy, thinking, 'Alexander won't let me see Abigail. If he knows, he'll be mad.'

Abigail thought she was nervous and soothingly patted her shoulder, smiling, "Chill. I'll do the talking."

Quinn forced a smile while staring at the smile on Abigail's face.

She had been terribly lonely for years. Other than Alexander, she had no one. Everyone despised her.

The second she saw Abigail in the club the day before yesterday, Alexander's face when he pushed open the door back that year emerged in her mind. They both burst into her life without warning, shining into her desert-like world like a beam of light.

After they waited for about ten minutes, a figure hurried in from outside. He shook the rain off his umbrella and walked quickly toward them.

Abigail stood up to greet him, "Mr. Cole."

Ellis Cole, around forty years old, was skinny and not exactly tall. With black-rimmed glasses, he seemed quite approachable.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Ellis said, "Ms. Vanderbilt, hi. Amber Bay is such a rainy place at this time of year. It's so inconvenient."

He was indeed right. It had been sunny in the morning, but by noon, it started to drizzle, and the outside was shrouded in mist.

Abigail extended her hand to Ellis. "Thanks for the special trip, Mr. Cole. Quinn, this is Mr. Cole, the agent from VX Games I talked to you about."

Quinn quickly stood up and bowed to him.

Ellis sized Quinn up, and a trace of admiration flashed across his eyes. He waved his hand, smiling, "Let's sit."

Abigail said, "Mr. Cole, am I right or what? She's exactly as I painted, right?"

Ellis laughed. "In fact, Ms. Mellon is even more stunning in reality. She's the perfect person for the job."

Abigail had already told him about Quinn, and he didn't mind that Quinn couldn't speak.

He continued, "I've got things to do later, so I'll cut to the chase. Let me brief you on the ad. Well, to call it an ad isn't accurate. It's more like a Christmas Day event promo. We've always used animation, but one of my colleagues in the Planning Department saw Ms. Mellon's photo the other day and suggested using a real person."

VX Games was a major gaming company with two games that were hugely popular around the world. Yet those two games weren't run by the same person, so competition existed.

The event this time was part of the competition, and Ellis got creative and wanted to use a real person for the promo.

One of the characters in the game he oversaw was beloved by many players and had a large fan base, so the choice of person was crucial.

And Quinn's image happened to fit perfectly.

After listening to Ellis' explanation, Abigail glanced at Quinn beside her and then said, "Mr. Cole, we're OK with all that. Well... What about the pay then?"

Ellis smiled, "No need to sweat about that. We've invited celebrities before. Although Ms. Mellon isn't as famous, our offer is sincere. Ms. Mellon, what do you think of this?"

He raised a finger. It was unclear if he meant 10 thousand dollars or 100 thousand dollars.

Quinn didn't understand and could only look to Abigail for help.

Abigail smiled, "Mr. Cole, sure enough, you're sincere. 100 thousand dollars sounds quite fair. Alright then. Let's make it quick. When shall we sign?"

Ellis laughed heartily, saying, "Ms. Vanderbilt, you're straightforward enough. Well, I'm gonna go back to attend a meeting for now. I'll let you know when I have the contract drawn up. You may come straight to our office then." "OK." Abigail stood up and shook hands with Ellis, sealing the deal.

Quinn also stood up, smiling at Ellis as saying goodbye.

As soon as Ellis left, Quinn's phone suddenly buzzed a few times. She took it out and saw a text from Alexander. Alexander: [Come back.]
