When Eleanor was abroad, she knew Quinn was married, but she had absolutely no idea Quinn was actually Miles's secret wife.
"That Miles York is no prize himself. Mr. Sinclair told me he's married, but he completely ignores his secret wife at home while constantly parading Jade around in public."
As Eleanor vented, she remained completely oblivious to the utter awkwardness radiating from Quinn on the other end of the line.
"I can't even imagine how his wife feels seeing all of this. Honestly... as a woman, my heart breaks for her."
Eleanor quickly added a well-meaning warning. "You need to be careful dealing with a powerful man like Miles York. He's not someone you want to cross."
Quinn sat in silence. *...Thank you for your sympathy, Eleanor!*
"It's already resolved, Eleanor. I got my translation credits back, and Jade won't be receiving the gold medal."
Eleanor was genuinely thrilled for her. "Congratulations! Once your leg heals, we definitely need to go out and celebrate."
While Quinn was chatting with Eleanor, Miles tried calling her twice, only to get a busy signal both times. He frowned deeply.
"Who is she chatting for hours on the phone with? Does she really have that much to say?"
He tossed his phone aside, deciding to ignore her and get back to work.
But the moment he picked up his pen, he put it right back down. Almost unconsciously, he reached for his phone again and dialed Jack.
"Sir?"
Miles's voice was carefully neutral. "How is that woman doing?"
Jack froze for a moment, needing a second to compute who his boss was referring to.
"Oh, you mean Mrs. York? She's resting in her room. Do you need something from her, Sir? Hold on, I'll take the phone to her—"
"Stop meddling!"
Miles sounded irritated. "Are my mother and sister still at Regency Bay?"
