Chapter 88 Too Much Of A Coincidence
Startled, Quinn paused, her hand gripping her phone <b>as </b>she looked toward Julius in the <b>distance</b><b>. </b>
It was obvious he’d juste out of the building and was about to get into the <b>silver </b><b>Maybach </b>parked
beside him.
This was just a little too much of a coincidence.
“What’s wrong, Quinnie?” Han asked. He followed Quinn’s line of sight and caught sight of <b>Julius </b>standing across the street.
Han’s brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of wariness flickered across his face.
Strangely enough, the brief moment he locked eyes with Julius through the ss window <b>earlier </b><b>had </b>stirred up a sense of danger in him.
It felt as though something he’d been guarding all along was about to be taken away from him.
“Laura and Han just arrived in Yarburn, so I’m having lunch with them,” Quinn told Julius.
“Perfect. I haven’t eaten either,” Julius said, and then promptly hung up.
Quinn blinked in surprise. She looked up to see Julius already striding toward her.
In no time, Julius reached their table.
“I haven’t eaten yet. Mind if I join you?” he asked.
“Huh?” Laura blinked. “Mr. Whitethorn, you’re eating here?”
“Yes. Is there a problem?” Julius asked calmly.
Laura instinctively nced at Quinn.
“Then join us,” Quinn said simply, and asked the server to bring another set of utensils.
Julius sat down with ease, taking the seat directly across from Han.
It was a square table, just right for four.
Quinn continued to eat her meal as usual. Julius and Han exchanged nces, an odd tension hanging in the air.
Laura nced from one man to the other, cleared her throat, and tried to <b>ease </b>the tension.
Before she could speak, Han beat her to it. “Mr. Whitethorn<b>, </b>what a coincidence. adn’t <b>expect </b><b>to </b>run into you here.”
“Not a coincidence. I just finished some business nearby and came <b>to </b>find Quinnie,<b>” </b>Julius <b>replied</b>.
“Quinnie?” Han’s brows knitted together.

Upon hearing this<b>, </b>Laura couldn’t help but choke <b>several </b>times.
<b><i>Wait</i></b><i>, </i><i>Quinnie</i><i>? </i><i>Did </i><i>Julius </i><i>just </i><i>call </i><i>her </i><i>Quinnie</i><i>? </i>
Sure, plenty of people called Quinn by that nickname, but Laura had never <b>expected </b>Julius <b>Whitethorn </b><b>to </b>do the same.
Especially not with that strange undertone in his voice<b>, </b>sounding oddly intimate.
“You’re calling her Quinnie? Who gave you permission?” Han snapped, ring at him.
Julius unhurriedly sipped on his coffee and said, “Naturally, she did.”
Immediately, both Han and Laura turned to look at Quinn.
“Quinnie, you let him call you that?” Han asked.
“Mm–hmm.” Quinn nodded. “It’s just easier that way.” After all, it was only for three months.
Han’s eyes flickered with thought.
“Anyway, why aren’t you two eating? The food’s going cold,” Quinn said.
“Right, right, let’s eat!” Laura jumped in quickly, picking up her fork and digging in again.
Han pressed his lips together before quietly continuing to eat.
Quinn nced at Julius beside her. “The food here’s nothing fancy. Are you okay with it?”
Julius replied, “I’m not someone who can only eat fine food. I’ve eaten things far worse than this.” Sometimes, when survival was on the line, even tree bark and dirt were edible.
Quinn looked slightly surprised but didn’t press further. She simply lowered her head and continued eating.
Julius picked up his fork and began eating as well. Unlike Han’s casual style; his movements carried a certain elegance.
“Mr. Whitethorn, you must be joking,” Han said, clearly annoyed.
Julius said casually, “I never joke.”
“Then I’m curious. Just what is this terribly unappetizing dish you’re talking about? I’d really like to try it out, see just how bad it could possibly be.”
“Tree bark. If you’re interested, Mr. Ingram, you should give it a try,” Julius saith deliberate calm.
“Julius Whitethorn!” Harl
growled.
“What, you don’t believe me? Or <b>are </b><b>you </b>trying to make me your enemy?” Julius<b>‘ </b><b>jet</b><b>–</b>ck eyes <b>lifted </b>slowly, exuding a strong sense of pressure.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the dining table became <b>icy </b>again.

Although they were sharing a table with two handsome men, the atmosphere was anything but pleasant.
