The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 136

"Oh, that's good." Quintina nodded, though she couldn't help but mutter, "Still, I think Mr. Baird is being abnormally helpful. It's a huge departure from the first impression I got of him!"

Vivica secretly agreed, but she didn't dare let herself believe it. She knew her own situation, and she would never aim so high. Even with a multi-million-dollar settlement, she was leagues away from a top-tier family like the Bairds.

"Whose jacket is this? It's a man's suit jacket, and the material feels incredible. Custom-made, I bet." Quintina, tidying up around the apartment, picked up a garment bag from the sofa and asked curiously.

Vivica looked over and suddenly remembered that Joseph's jacket was still here. She hadn't even sent it to the dry cleaner's yet.

She quickly walked over and took it back. "It belongs to someone else. I need to get it cleaned and return it."

"Someone else? Who? It's not Mr. Baird's, is it?"

Vivica didn't answer, instead busying herself with packing. "Come on, hurry up. The movers will be here soon."

But Quintina was relentless. "Why do you have Mr. Baird's jacket? Is it like in the movies, where you were cold and he gallantly gave you his coat? And you claim there's nothing going on between you two? This is practically textbook flirting!"

"Quintina! Why do you keep bringing him up? I told you, it's impossible."

"But your reaction says otherwise!"

Vivica wanted to deny it, but she couldn't find the words. She wasn't even sure what she herself was feeling. It was human nature to be drawn to strength, and she was no exception. Joseph's status, his competence, and the profound sense of security he projected—she certainly admired him, even looked up to him.
