Hearing that Quincy would return soon, James let out a sigh of relief. Then, he replied with a smile. “Thank you, Thea.”

“Honey, you have to promise me that you won’t look at any other women besides me,” Thea said bitterly.

She felt threatened by Quincy.

Quincy was not only pretty but also had a good eye for business. Most importantly, she was skilled at utilizing her charm. Thea was scared that she’d tempt James and lose him to Quincy if she was not careful.

James cooed reassuringly, “Nonsense. I only need Quincy back to manage Messiah. It’s impossible between the two of us. If I was set on being with her, I would’ve agreed to do so a long time ago. There truly isn’t anything between the both of us.”

Although Thea found it hard to believe that James and Quincy were completely innocent, she still felt relieved that James bothered to explain because it meant he was worried about her feelings.

She believed that as long as she worked at it, James would come to love her eventually.
