He’d been forced to find someone else.
But no one fit the bill, ultimately delaying the entire project.
I finished the last of the paperwork in the office
and was about to leave when I heard the
familiar sound of crying outside the door.

“I’ve worked so hard, but I didn’t expect
Savannah to suddenly take the spot. All my
efforts this month have been for nothing,
waah…”
It was Scarlett…
Quinn’s white moonlight.
The woman who’d kept Quinn and me from
happiness for thirty years.
I gripped the doorknob.
Quinn stood towering over her, radiating an
unfamiliar air of intimidation.
“Savannah, give the spot back.”
Seeing Quinn’s expression, and Scarlett sobbing behind him, I shook my head.
“No way.”

“Savannah…”
Quinn’s face was twisted with an
unprecedented look of disbelief.
“I’ve already been forced to agree to marry
you, do you think I don’t know you’ve arranged
the wedding venue?
“You don’t even want to go. You’re just making things difficult for Scarlett!”
Scarlett stepped forward, her eyes red–rimmed.
“Savannah, I’ve worked so hard for this
opportunity. After I leave, I won’t bother you
anymore. Please, let me have this…”
“You know whether you’ve worked hard or not.
You won’t get this project.”
Scarlett froze, her eyes growing even redder.

She had planned for Quinn to go with her when she applied for this project, so I couldn’t stop
them.
But because I hurt myself several times, Quinn
remembered the Song family’s kindness to his
family and reluctantly agreed to marry me.
