CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 444: EMERGENCY MEETING

As usual, she was busy every day moving between the film crew and the company, rarely meeting Elias Sinclair. Even when they occasionally saw each other at home, Quinn Lockwood would turn around and go back to her room, resolutely refusing to speak to Elias Sinclair.

"Savannah, your husband..."

"No, no, it’s Mr. Sinclair. Mr. Sinclair just contacted me saying he’d be going to Cloudfall Group to discuss the latest collaboration on a game development project. He asked me..."

"He asked if you were the planner. He wants to convene a meeting with all project participants..." Sharon Shaw came in with the project proposal for the game development, seeing Quinn Lockwood packing up her things to leave for Cloudfall Group to continue her studies, feeling a bit hesitant.

After all, she knew about the recent arguments between Quinn Lockwood and Elias Sinclair, and she had comforted her several times. Naturally, she knew how much Quinn Lockwood didn’t want to see Mr. Sinclair, not even wanting to hear his name.

But... but Sharon Shaw had to bring it up now because Cameron Grant had already lowered Quinn Lockwood’s position as the game development project planner, which was crucial to the project’s progress direction and timeline. Mr. Sinclair calling to inquire was perfectly normal.

The hand that Quinn Lockwood was using to organize the documents stopped abruptly, and an unnatural expression flashed across her face.

The partner for The Lowell’s game project this time turned out to be Elias Sinclair...

Quinn Lockwood couldn’t help but furrow her brow, realizing she should have thought of this earlier. For such a comprehensive reform project initiated by The Lowell, the first consideration for collaboration would undoubtedly be the Sinclair Group.

But she didn’t expect Elias Sinclair to make it so official; he could have just negotiated with Cameron Grant.

"Just say I have other engagements today and can’t attend the meeting. The relevant planning documents have been sent to Kevin, and my brother knows the details." Quinn Lockwood took out the documents she had packed.

In her heart, she felt an inexplicable, strange feeling—not sadness, not joy, just a peculiar feeling that was hard to describe.

In fact, Quinn Lockwood was planning to head to Cloudfall Group.

About this new reform game project, she had some better ideas. She had even planned and arranged the development direction and prospects in the relevant fields, only needing to report to Cameron Grant.

No way, she really didn’t want to see Elias Sinclair because Quinn Lockwood truly didn’t know how to face him, feeling awkward even as the project planner.

"Uh... Savannah, did you forget? Brother went abroad, and he won’t land until nine tonight." Sharon Shaw slapped her head, remembering that Cameron Grant went to Malara last night.

At this moment, Sharon Shaw somewhat regretted not being busy with things at The Lowell with Quinn Lockwood; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so troubled now.

Sharon Shaw had met Kevin and always felt that, although Kevin was capable, he was too timid. The moment he saw Elias Sinclair, he acted like a little ghost meeting Yama, making it absolutely impossible to rely on him to stall until her brother returned.

Besides, Kevin was Mr. Sinclair’s person.

Although Sharon Shaw wasn’t afraid of Elias Sinclair, she felt powerless at the moment.

"Then don’t go. Let’s talk when my brother gets back." Hearing that Cameron Grant was not around, Quinn Lockwood’s face suddenly darkened.

Actually, she instantly thought about attending the meeting but not strongly; the thought passed as quickly as it came.

It was like a seed buried in the deepest soil, just starting to sprout, only to be pushed back into the ground instantly, waiting for someone to discover and release it.

"Alright, my brother sent me a message before getting on the plane. I’ll contact him when he lands." Sharon Shaw shrugged, seemingly glancing helplessly at Quinn Lockwood.

Sigh, love really is a troublesome thing.

Oh no, marriage really is a troublesome thing!

However, just as Sharon Shaw was about to go take care of other company affairs, she noticed Quinn Lockwood was holding her stomach with one hand, her originally rosy lips were slightly turning white from biting.

"Savannah, what’s wrong? Is your stomach hurting again?" Sharon Shaw grabbed the water cup from the table to get some hot water, while searching around the room for stomach medicine.

"Where’s the medicine? I put it right next to the table." Sharon Shaw placed the water in front of Quinn Lockwood, anxiously rummaging through every corner of the table.

These days, Quinn Lockwood was so busy she neglected eating and sleeping. Even when Sharon Shaw and Cameron Grant set meals for her, she always had no time to eat, or just randomly took a few bites.

She always had a weak stomach.

This wasn’t a problem of the original owner, Savannah Lowell, but a problem of Quinn Lockwood herself. However, since Savannah Lowell was a celebrity, not eating to control weight was normal. Therefore, discovering she had stomach problems didn’t raise suspicions.

"I took it with me to my brother’s place yesterday. It’s fine; I might just be hungry. I’ll feel better after eating something." Quinn Lockwood shook her head, focused on the upcoming work plan modifications for the studio, fully immersed without any energy to handle other things.

Moreover, her stomach was only mildly hurting, something she could endure for a bit.

"Okay, then I’ll order food for you." Sharon Shaw quickly set aside what she was doing and picked up the phone to call the Succulent restaurant.

Soft and light food should be ordered.

Meanwhile, Elias Sinclair was in a meeting room at Cloudfall Group.

Since the executive officer, Cameron Grant, was on his way back, the meeting was temporarily chaired by the vice president.

"Mr. Sinclair, are there any areas that need revision or guidance?"

The meeting had ended, but Elias Sinclair was still seated in the main seat of the meeting room. The temporarily assigned vice president was unsure of his intentions, especially with their executive not present, leaving him quite puzzled.

"The others can adjourn for now. I still need to review the project details thoroughly." The man’s eyes were dark as ink, obscuring any underlying emotions.

"After all, the lead planner isn’t here, and the details are insufficient." Elias Sinclair lightly tapped his fingers on the table, his tone seemingly layered with meaning.

In reality, the impromptu project meeting was for Quinn Lockwood’s sake.

Although Elias Sinclair was continually upset with Quinn Lockwood over Jonah Hansen’s issue, he was genuinely struggling with their cold war.

This woman’s endurance was indeed strong, or perhaps it was because she didn’t love him at all. No matter how close he got to Melody Shepherd on purpose, she didn’t care, not even minding to use this as a reason to leave him.
