A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1424
Sam snorted grumpily. “I thought you’re smart as a lawyer, Quinn. Did you use up your brains for work? Don’t you understand
how attraction works?”
Quinn flushed—it was his fault, and he had the cheek to tell her she was thickheaded?!
Still, Sam snapped loudly just then, “Isn’t it obvious I’d like you to keep kissing me?”
As Quinn stared blankly at him, Sam sighed feebly. “You bonehead. You really don’t get it.”
With that, he suddenly pressed his lips over hers, leaving her eyes widening.
“Umph...” She was starting to grow weak-where she was just pecking Sam on the lips, Sam was going deep...
Their kiss lasted for who knows how long, and they seemed to be glued to each other even as the phone rang.
Eventually, Sam released her reluctantly, her gaze distant as she was left muddled...
“Sh*t!” Sam suddenly cursed and forced himself out of the bed.
As for Quinn, it was not until she heard the splashing from the bathroom that her head cleared.
Still, she was surprised-she always thought herself rational.
Since her parents’ death and choosing the profession of lawyer, she always showed self-discipline and restraint, never rushing
into things.
And yet, she was now a changed woman because of Sam- she had reason to believe that she would not even know what hit her
if he ran her down with a truck.
Nonetheless, she got out of bed as well and returned to her room, since her pads were not there.
After washing up and getting changed, she stepped out to find Sam in the living room as well and on the phone in the living
room.
She glanced at the clock and realized that it was past nine.

They had certainly been indulgent last night-for a while now, they would wake up around seven and leave for work at eight.
Was Sam dealing with work now too?
Even as Quinn made a mental note not to let loose again, she conceded that she was concerned that Sam would revert into that
half-baked person he was before.
Still, Sam was talking for a long while on the phone before finally putting it away to eat breakfast with her.
“Is it about work?” she asked. “We’re really running late-we should be more careful about the time next time.”
Sam took a sip of his soup before shooting her a look.” You’re saying like we actually did something.”
Quinn flushed—it was certainly her fault they did not.
“That was a call from the office,” Sam continued. “But it’s no big deal-we just need to drop by later. Don’t worry... I know what I’m
doing, and I’d never put off anything important.”
Still, he seemed to read her mind just then.
She was really afraid he would stop being serious with work and rather he worked 24/7, did she not?!
No one would even work slaves that hard!
Despite his displeasure, Sam did not complain, just as he could keep this up if Quinn liked him when he was working...
“Oh, but that was Bob just now. Johnny and Cordy are returning after going missing for months, and they’re inviting everyone for
dinner. Are you coming?”
