Chapter 50

Quinn noticed Cameron looking at her hot cup of water. She asked, "Do you want some too?" Cameron nodded, which Quinn hadn't expected. She had no choice but to offer him some water; after all, he was a guest in her apartment. However, there was a problem.

She lifted the cup and said, "I only have one cup. Do you want to drink straight from the jug?" She imagined Cameron drinking from the jug—a truly remarkable sight. He interrupted her thoughts, saying, "I'll just use your cup."

"What?" Quinn exclaimed, incredulous.

"I'm fine with that," Cameron replied, settling onto the couch and putting his feet up as if he owned the place.

Quinn could only hand him the cup. "Here you go."

Cameron looked at Quinn, who was clearly uncomfortable. He smiled and began drinking from her cup. Quinn looked at Cameron, drinking from where she had just drunk. She blushed, her heart pounding. Did that mean they had indirectly kissed? She immediately shook her head, dismissing the thought.

Cameron quickly finished the water and showed little further interest in Quinn's apartment. He stood up and looked at Quinn, who was still crouching beside the coffee table, still preoccupied with the shared cup.

"Let's go," he said.

Quinn snapped back to reality. "Where are we going?"

"Did you forget what your job is?" Cameron asked, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Oh, we should get back to the hotel," Quinn said, quickly rising and smoothing her clothes.

Cameron gave her a look and headed for the door.

They left the apartment and started down the stairs when Quinn spotted a plump woman ascending from below. She immediately stepped back, hiding behind Cameron. His size ensured she was completely concealed.

Cameron, confused by her actions, asked, "What are you doing?"

Quinn motioned for him to be quiet. Then, she grabbed his hand and pulled him back into her apartment. Cameron, bewildered, complied, watching her intently.

"Quinn," Cameron began, about to question her, when Quinn clamped her hands over his mouth. Her hands were very soft and smelled faintly of lotion.

Lock the door.
