Chapter 47
Quinn, a man in his thirties, walked in, all business in his suin, briefcase in hand, glasses on, looking like he meant business
“Whoa, it’s Quinn!” someone whispered, like they couldn’t believe it
No way.”
People started to wonder, glancing between Quiana and Winona. “Is he here for Winona”
Winona was taken aback.
Yulia, Winona’s agent, spoke up in a hushed tone, Maybe Mr. Hawley found out and got him for you?”
Quinn’s rules and his high–end status made him a tough catch, but not for Keith. Yulla was getting more convinced by the minute. “Guess he really thinks the world of you!”
But Winona wasn’t so sure. Quinn showed up so fast, and it didn’t add up.
Yulia shrugged and said, “Maybe someone from the crew told Mr. Hawley? There’s lots who want to

want to be in your good books.”
Quinn gave a small smile and adjusted his glasses, “Just here to collect some evidence for a client.”
Quiana said her lawyer was coming and then, like a scene out of a movie, Quinn walked in. The crew exchanged puzzled looks.
Quiana, a nobody from a no–name town, hiring someone like Quinn! It seemed too good to be true. So most people were convinced that Quinn. was there to represent Winona.
“Guess he’s here to back Winona up, someone whispered.
“Quiana’s as mean as they come. But she’l suffer. Who’s better than Quinn in the legal world” another added.
“Talk about a failed scheme, it’s just plain awkward, a third chimed in.
“Mr. Lowen,” Winona spoke up, looking a bit uncomfortable. “I hate to say it, but you might’ve made a trip for nothing.”
Quinn looked puzzled.
Winona glanced at Quiana and Jill, biting her lip “Even though Qulana tried to set me up, we’re still family. She’s had a cough life, and it’s no surprise she’s bitter.
I’m the victim here, but I don’t want to make a scene. A public apology from ber
Jack, the assistant director, raised his voice. “Evelyn got seriously hurt. That’s attempted assault. You can’t just say sorry and call it even”
Yulla added her two cents, “Winona, she’s been on her own for years, but it’s not your fault. Why should you forgive her! With Mr. Lovett here, you’ve got nothing to worry abour”
The crew nodded in agreement.
Quinn caught on and frowned, “Seems like there’s some kind of mixup here…
“Mix–up? What mix–up! You might not know, but Quiana is the one who framed Winona…
“Hold up!” Quinn cut them off his tone serious. I’m not representing Winona
A hush fell over the set.
Yulia’s eyes flickered. “So did Evelyn get you involved?”
Quinn just gave a simple headshake
John got his wits back and chuckled. “Neither Winona nor Evelyn, huh? Who else could get someone like you? You’re a real character.”
“Hold up” Quiana spoke up, catching everyone’s attention. She twirled her sunglasses around her finger, her head tilted with a relaxed grin. “Just to be clear, he’s my lawyer”

The silence was broken by a stifled laugh. “Right in front of Mr. Lovett Quiana, that’s bold.”
“Who do you think you are, griting Mr. Lovell on your team?” somente sneered
Quiana grinned. “Seems like you guys didn’t take the legal letter seriously,” she said, noting at Quinn. “Maybe we should send another one
“Who are you trying to impress?” another voice taunted. “You must be losing your mind…”
But then, to everyone’s surprise, Quinn actually agreed. “Yeah, that’s right.”
