( 0 ) Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Quentin spared a quick glance at me .
Maybe he had noticed the look on my face , but something seemed to shift in him .
A low growl left his lips .
Before I could get a word in , he had stepped on the gas , bringing the car to a pretty high speed .
My grip on the arm rest tightened as I turned to him .
Do you mind slowing down ? He didnt say anything for a while , simply staring ahead while he drove as fast as he could .
I could already feel my heart pounding against my chest .
Why was he going so fast ? The fear was already gnawing at me as he increased his speed even more .
When I turned to him , he looked like he annoyed .
Id rarely ever seen him lose his cool no matter the situation we were in .
Which was why I couldnt hold back my surprise the longer I stared at him .
Hey .
If youre ready to die , then by all means go ahead .
But dont take me with you .
My brothers would have your head if they found out about this .
We were approaching a really long bend and with how fast Quentin was going , I was already mentally bracing myself for impact .
Quentin swerved to the right , gracefully drifting through the turn with the practiced ease of someone who had been at this for quite some time now .
I was a bit shock where I sat .
My gaze flicked to Quentin.
Seeing him in such a state with his hair ruffled and a wild look in his eyes sent a wave of something else through me .
I never thought Id ever get to see this side of him .
For the longest time since Id known him , he had always struck me as a dark and cold capitalist tycoon whose sole focus was his business and nothing more .
Never in my life would I have thought he had a wild side .
And something like this too .
Eventually , he brought the car to a steady pace and pressed on ahead .
When I sighed the estate from a distance , I felt my heart thrum even faster against my chest .
Why are we coming here ? I turned to him .
96.1 % Chapter 123 Youll see .
He simply replied .
My heart was still thudding against my chest as we drove into the estate .
When last had I been at this place ? Askhan set me up back then .
I turned to Quentin .
He finally turned to me , his eyes glinting with something unreadable .
He said he was going to film my affair with you and make a completely big deal about it .
Quentin unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to me .
With how close he was , I could smell the cologne he had used .
Might as well just go ahead with it and as you to be my companion .
He added .
My heart stopped for the faintest second .
He wanted me to be his mate ? My heart was beating so hard and loud against my chest that it seemed to be the only thing I could focus on .
Quentin seemed pretty much unaware of the effect he was having on me with just those words .
What ? He cocked his head to the side .
Well , I need someone I can trust to efficiently do their job as well as hold their own end of the bargain .
Youd make the perfect business partner .
It was like someone had doused me in cold water and brought me back to reality .
My heart came to a steady pace and I finally had a bit of clarity .
I cant do that .
I said in a calm tone .
His brows furrowed .
He probably hadnt been expecting that answer .
Why ? Before I could answer , he continued .
Its okay if you dont recognize your identity .
Thats completely fine .
But the amount of money thats coming from being in charge of a pack is far more than you can imagine .
And what do I stand to gain by accepting this ? I folded my arms .
You need to think hard about this , Thea .
Quentin pressed on .
If you accept this , youre not going to be playing some game as a student this time around .
No.
Youre an adult this time around .
Things have definitely changed .

For a while I remained silent , processing the words Quentin had just said and what it could possibly mean for me if I decided to accept it .
96.3 % Chapter 123 When he noticed my silence , Quentin let out a breath .
The soft sound of music booming from the house drew my attention .
Quentin seemed to have noticed the shift in my demeanor .
Theres a party going on .
Thats not the only reason why I brought you here though .
He explained .
I raised an eyebrow .
Oh , really ? Quentin let out another sigh .
He fished into the small nook in the car and brought out a check .
He handed the check to me , a serious look in his eyes .
Why are you giving me this ? I asked .
Fill out whatever amount of money you want for the role youre going to play .
Im serious about wanting you as my partner , Thea .
It really doesnt matter what I have to do .
Im going to make sure it works out .
Quentin said .
