Chapter 88 Too Much Of A Coincidence Chapter 88 Too Much Of A Coincidence Startled , Quinn paused , her hand gripping her phone as she looked toward Julius in the distance . It was obvious he'd just come out of the building and was about to get into the silver Maybach parked beside him . This was just a little too much of a coincidence . " What's wrong , Quinnie ? " Harlan asked . He followed Quinn's line of sight and caught sight of Julius standing across the street .

Harlan'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 glass window earlier had 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 Harlan 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 glanced 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 Harlan . It was a square table , just right for four . Quinn continued to eat her meal as usual . Julius and Harlan exchanged glances , an odd tension hanging in the air . Laura glanced from one man to the other , cleared her throat , and tried to ease the tension . Before she could speak , Harlan beat her to it . " Mr. Whitethorn , what a coincidence . adn't expect to run into you here ." " Not a coincidence .

I just finished some business nearby and came to find Quinnie , " Julius replied . " Quinnie ? " Harlan's brows knitted together . 1/3 09:18 Tue , 8 Jul Chapter 88 Too Much Of A Coincidence Upon hearing this , Laura couldn't help but choke several times . Wait , Quinnie ? Did Julius just call her Quinnie ? Sure , plenty of people called Quinn by that nickname , but Laura had never expected Julius Whitethorn to do the same .

Especially not with that strange undertone in his voice , sounding oddly intimate . " You're calling her Quinnie ? Who gave you permission ? " Harlan snapped , glaring at him . Julius unhurriedly sipped on his coffee and said , " Naturally , she did ." Immediately , both Harlan and Laura turned to look at Quinn . " Quinnie , you let him call you that ? " Harlan asked . " Mm - hmm . " Quinn nodded . " It's just easier that way . " After all , it was only for three months .

Harlan'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 . Harlan pressed his lips together before quietly continuing to eat . Quinn glanced 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 Harlan's casual style ; his movements carried a certain elegance . " Mr. Whitethorn , you must be joking ," Harlan 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 are you trying to make me your enemy ? " Julius ' jet - black eyes lifted slowly , exuding a strong sense of pressure .
