Chapter 230 Smoldering Suspicion

Quinn shuddered, then blurted, Hey, does Sidonic smoke?

Eh?Laura blinked in surprise. Where did that question come from?

Quinn said, When I think back to that inferno on the border, it feels as though she did far more than simply stand there and watch someone die.

Laura stiffened, then nodded thoughtfully. We’ll have to look into it. That said, I’ve never once seen Sidonie with a cigarette in her hand.”

Quinn pressed her lips together. She, too, had never caught Sidonie smoking, yet that hardly proved the woman had never done it. The possibility formed a legitimate trace in her mind, one that definitely deserved a good investigation.

Laura suddenly remembered something and asked, By the way, are you free tonight?

Quinn shrugged. More or less free.

What’s that supposed to mean? Do you already have plans?

Not really. I’d only promised Julius I’d be home for dinner. I can phone him in a bit and tell him to eat without me.

Laura clicked her tongue in mock disapproval. Anyone overhearing you two would swear you’re already married. You sound exactly like a pair of newlyweds.”

Quinn blinked, and the more she thought about it, the more the comparison rang true. Every evening after work, she would stop by the supermarket, pick up fresh groceries, and cook dinner herself. Juliusscalded hand was still healing, yet he insisted on hovering in the kitchen as her souschef. When they finished eating, he cleared the dishes and loaded the dishwasher. Together, they watched TV, caught the news, and sometimes even read the same book, debating its ideas. Julius’s range of interests was astonishing, and their conversations could go on for hours. If work called, they settled into the study side by side; an extra desk and chair had appeared there since he moved in. I have to admit, sharing a home with Julius issurprisingly comfortable.

Laura leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Speaking of which, have you and Julius, you knowdone it?

Quinn rolled her eyes. No. Is that all you think about?

I just think you’re missing out. A gorgeous man right next to you and you only looknever touch.

Missing out? Does that really apply here?

Laura patted her on the shoulder Since you’re so fond of looking, let’s have some eyeopening experience tonight. Try something different.

That evening, Quinn accompanied Laura to the Jexburgh Grand Theater. Onstage, a troupe of foreign men writhed in a feverish dance, the audience roaring in delight. Quinn glanced at the gleam in her friend’s eyes. This is the eyeopening experience you promised me?

“Absolutely!Laura beamed. They’re the famous Elandian Male Dance Troupe. Their choreography is killer, the set design gorgeous, and they’ve got a water curtain that makes the whole stage look like it’s rainingmuscled men dancing in the rain! Tell me that isn’t art.

The spectacle, Laura hoped, would also distract her and help her forget that scoundrel, Sterling.

Quinn watched the halfnaked dancersbare torsos, sleek black leather pants that hugged every line- moving in perfect rhythm. The energy in the theater was infectious.

Rainlike sheets of water drifted down, splashing onto hair, faces, torsos, then exploding into brighter sprays at their feet.

The sight made countless hearts in the audience flutter.

The atmosphere grew warmer, louder.

Laura screamed herself hoarse, showering the men with unabashed praise.

Beside her, Quinn remained markedly calmer.

She could appreciate the artistry, but nothing about it stirred her pulse.

These days, only one man could do that.

Juliusface rose unbidden in her mind.

Right at that moment, her phone rang. It was Julius calling.

Quinn lifted it to her ear. Hi, Julius. What’s up?
