Love Unspoken
Chapter 1401

After what felt like forever, the phone finally picked up, and Walter's upbeat voice came through, "Hey, Ms. Mellon, found your hubby yet?"

Quinn was caught off guard. She hadn't spilled the beans about why she was there, but it made sense he'd figure it out.

Ignoring his snark, Quinn asked, "What're you up to right now?"

"Obviously, pulling an all-nighter at work. You ditched the company and left me hanging. Do you trust me that much, or just don't give a damn?" Walter shot back. Quinn smirked. Honestly, it was more the latter.

But she needed his help now, so she couldn't say that. "Of course, I trust you. Aren't you always saying you're like my brother?"

Walter chuckled. "Oh, now I'm your brother. What do you need?"

He knew Quinn too well. She wouldn't say stuff like that unless she really needed something.

Quinn paused, then asked, "Got any tech related to cell phones, like chips or whatever?"

"Nope," Walter shot down immediately, but Quinn wasn't buying it.

"You totally do," Quinn insisted.

"And how do you know that?" Walter asked.

"Those funky gadgets you showed me before, never seen 'em on the market. You gotta have something," Quinn replied. Walter laughed. "You remember that, huh? I'm kinda touched."

"So, you really have it?" Quinn pressed.

"Why should I? Alexander's in trouble, right? Why would I help him?" Walter sneered.

"It's got nothing to do with him. It's my call. Are you gonna help or not?" Quinn pushed.

"Name your price or conditions, as long as I can do it," she added.

Walter clicked his tongue. "Then call me Lucas."

Sensing her hesitation, he added, "Can't say it? You just said I was like your brother. Quinn, you're getting good at this." Quinn bit her lip. Honestly, saying that word was tough.

Walter waited but didn't hear anything. He sighed, "Forget it. I'm hanging up."

"Wait!" Quinn shouted, gripping the phone.

She tried to say it but still struggled.

Walter laughed. "Is it that hard? Don't force it."

Just as he was about to hang up, Quinn, panicking, gritted her teeth and blurted out, "Lucas!"

Walter went silent on the other end.

Quinn thought he hung up. She checked her phone and saw the call was still on. She said again, "Help me."

A few seconds later, Walter's voice came through, "You'd really do anything for Alexander, huh?"

Quinn stayed silent.

"There's a ton of cell phone tech. Be specific. If it's too high-tech, I might not have it," Walter said.

Quinn explained about the company she saw. It was under Aron Lynch's name, related to electronics, but mainly computers, not cell phones. And she only needed the cell phone tech.

After listening, Walter thought for a moment. "So you wanna use tech to infiltrate their company?"

Quinn didn't deny it. That was exactly her plan.
