Forbidden Captivity: Too Late to Escape

Chapter 195

Chapter 195

It's the Bradford family's project, which they'd been nurturing for two whole years. However, the Bradfords

handed over to them like it was nothing. Ferguson Corporation had swooped in and snagged all the benefits.

Johnny had burned the midnight oil on this development project for nearly half a year. Now he was taking a

breather at hdue to health issues. Who'd have thought Quinn would just hand it over to Ferguson

Corporation so easily?

Ferguson Corporation hadn't even been in the picture initially; Johnny had jumped through hoops to secure the

rights. The project was about to kick off, so bringing Ferguson Corporation in now was like offering them a prime

cut on a silver platter.

The contract was stacked with terms that were a dream for Ferguson Corporation, and just like that, Quinn took

over Johnny's position as the project lead. When the proposal hit Aiden's desk, he was dumbstruck for a good few

seconds, double- checking to make sure it was legit.

"Are you sure this proposal cdirectly from the Bradford family?"

"Yep, Ms. Quinn is calling the shots over there now as the acting CEO."

Aiden couldn't shake the feeling that Quinn's move might be tied to her plans to marry Simon. She was using this

colossal deal as a gesture of goodwill.

He dropped the proposal on Dylan's desk, not missing a beat to crack a joke. "Boss, this is like finding money on

the street. Are we gonna take it?"

Dylan gave the document a quick glance, his tone as cool as ever. "I'm a businessman."

Turning down easy money? Now that wouldn't be in a businessman's nature. Aiden snapped the file shut. "Alright

then, I'll handle the liaison. Quinn's heading things on their side."

Dylan gave a nonchalant nod, clearly not overthinking the contract. A proposal loaded with perks hardly seemed

worth his time.

When Quinn saw that it was only Dylan's assistant who cto meet her, the light in her eyes dimmed. She'd

gone to great lengths under the scrutiny of her superiors to hand this golden opportunity to Ferguson

Corporation, only to realize she didn't even get face twith Dylan.

She'd taken extra tto dress up today, hoping to catch his eye right from the start. Aiden spent ages by

Dylan's side, and had gotten the hang of flattery. Knowing full well that compliments were a surefire way to make

an impression, he didn't hold back. "Ms. Quinn, you look absolutely stunning today. It's rare to see someone so

poised and elegant in a business setting."

Even though it was just a courteous compliment, it lit up her face with a smile. “Aiden, you're too kind. This

project is just a gesture of goodwill. | hope to see more of Dylan in the future for the sake of our companies."

"Absolutely."

The deal was signed with smiles all around. But once Quinn settled into her car, her mood shifted. She'd never

had a private meeting with Dylan and couldn't help but wonder how her heart would race if they were alone

together.

Simon proved to be a letdown, and she knew she had to act quickly to bring Dylan, that high-and-mighty catch,

down to her level. Determination sparkled in her eyes, and a smile slowly graced her lips.
