Chapter 294

Quentin’s hair was messy and frizzy, and he had dark, heavy eyebags. It looked like he hadn’t slept in many days.

Adrian lugged at him.

It was then that Quentin noticed Caroline. But his expression was frozen, and he couldn’t even smile at her.

“No, I can’t anymore. I’m exhausted. I need to sleep first.” With that, Quentin slumped to the ground.

Neither Gwen nor Caroline had ever seen him like this before. Curiously, they asked, “What happened to him?”

Adrian gave the passed–out Quentin a kick. Then, he called some of the employees to move Quentin to the third floor.

Alter that, he answered, “He’s been investigating something. He hasn’t stopped for three days and hasn’t slept in all that time. Now he needs to catch up on sleep. You.

Adrian shot a glance at Caroline’s shopping cart. “Do you still have any more books to buy?”

Gwen quickly answered. “There’s one more: ‘The Essence of Management.”

Since he was familiar with the layout, Adrian led them to the C section and pulled out a book with a red cover. He handed it to Caroline.

Caroline and Gwen both looked over. Indeed, it was “The Essence of Management.”

Gwen was stunned. “You didn’t even look. How did you know where the book was?”

Adrian smiled. “This is my bookstore. Of course, I know where the books are. As for Caroline

He glanced at “The Essence of Management” in the shopping cart. “Few people know about this book. How do you know about it?”

“Caroline’s husband told her about it.”

Gwen held a measure of unconscious pride, the kind a mother would have for her son–in–law. “He recommended all of these books.”

Adrian regarded the books in the shopping cart. After a long while, he looked back up. “He’s an old hand at this. Can I ask what company he’s the director of?”

Gwen and Caroline exchanged a glance. In the end, Gwen said, “He’s not a director. He’s just a regular office employee.”

Adrian raised a brow. “Really?”
