Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1675

Quincy froze and turned toward the voice. Under the dim, yellowish glow of a streetlight, a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan was parked. A man leaned lazily against the driver's side door, dressed in a crisp, tailored suit, a lit cigarette pinched between his long fingers. Wreathed in a veil of smoke, his strikingly handsome face looked somewhat familiar. It took Quincy a moment to place him. He had seen this man around James before. Will had mentioned that this guy was James's closest friend over at Nelson Corporation. His last name was Michell, and he was a lawyer.

Realizing who it was, Quincy dropped his guard. He slipped his keys back into his pocket and offered a polite smile. "Mr. Michell? Did you just say you wanted to set me up with someone?"

Steve brought the half-smoked cigarette to his lips and took a long, deep drag. Exhaling a thick cloud of white smoke, he stared coldly at Quincy through the haze. "Yeah. I have a cousin, quite pretty. She's a well-known talent in the Capital's social circles. More than a match for a SWAT Captain like yourself."

Quincy didn't even have to think about it before shaking his head. "No need. Thanks for the offer, Mr. Michell, but I already have someone I like."

Steve's fingers paused, sending a shower of gray ash falling onto his expensive leather shoes. He narrowed his deep, alluring eyes and let out a faint, almost imperceptible scoff. The laugh was laced with mockery and a hint of gritted teeth. "Sylvia?"

Surprised, Quincy rubbed the back of his neck and offered a bashful, earnest smile. "Is it that obvious?"

Seeing this rugged, straightforward demeanor that was virtually identical to Will's, the nameless fire in Steve's chest burned even brighter. He sneered, mercilessly pouring cold water on the idea. "Don't waste your energy. She would never fall for a guy like you."
