She began to wonder whether the price of 1.5 billion was too low since Mr. Q agreed to it so soon.

It left her at a loss, having a strange urge to make up for the money she might�ve lost.

Then she feigned to be perplexed by the Snow Before the Shepherd Boy. �Is this the well-known painting by Dost Wurst? Is it genuine or a forgery?�

�Do you think I�ll hang a fake painting on my wall?�

�Wow, that�s incredible! My father used to enjoy Dost Wurst, and I�ve been seeking this piece for a long time��

�If you like it, I�ll ask Chase to wrap it up for you

�Wrap it up for me?� Renee was taken aback and perplexed.

�You don�t like it?� Mr. Q questioned, turning to face her.

�No. I really do!� She returned her gaze to the picture and said, �Isn�t it a little inappropriate that you give me such an expensive painting?� Although she had been hinting at him to give it to her, she never expected him to be so casual about it!

�I don�t see what the problem is if you like it. It�s just a piece of art. There are a lot of paintings in the pawn shop,� he said casually.

�Thank you!� She quickly bowed and thanked him. At this moment, she thought even his face mask was charming. Money was, indeed, the most powerful force in the world.

She was suddenly reminded of the elderly man�s forecast that said, �As lofty as the mountain, as boundless as the sea. An unrivaled pair, their union shall stand through eternity.�

�Is it possible that Mr. Q is the one I�ll marry? If he were, it would be absurd considering he is Stefan�s arch-adversary. If Stefan finds out, he�d definitely haunt me in my nightmares,� she reasoned to herself.

�What exactly are you thinking about?�

Renee had been so preoccupied with her thoughts that she hadn�t realized Mr. Q had been watching her for quite some time. Her exaggerated expression piqued his interest in what she was thinking.

�Nothing!� Renee shook her head instantly. �Can I ask you something?� she ventured cautiously after a period of silence.

�What?�

�Are you seeing anyone right now? Do you have a spouse? Do you have any kids?�

Renee wasn�t one to gossip, but she was intrigued by Mr. Q�s want to assist her. She wondered whether he had ever had feelings for her.

After all, such was the case for Jovan, so she wanted to know whether Mr. Q was the guy she was supposed to marry. JrNovels.com
