Top Secret


    I nced at Grayson and said, “It seems Ste has some issues. You know about As’s parents ne


    crash, right?


    “Yes.”


    “We should investigate Ste’s father, Rory. My intuition told me there might be a connection there.


    “That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’ve already given the order, and they’re investigating Rory!”


    “As mentioned that his parents‘ ne crash wasn’t straightforward. I want to know why he believed


    that,” I stated. “Let’s focus on this aspect of the investigation. Having multiple angles can be beneficial.


    Grayson agreed, albeit with some hesitation.


    I paused and said, “Grayson, regardless of your previous rtionship with As, I hope you’ll support


    me now. Even though there are feelings between As and me, I don’t want you to link us together. I


    have my


    own goals and inquiries.”


    Grayson nodded solemnly, “Understood, Ms. Chloe!”


    I smiled. “You know, this affects my direction of development, and… my choices!”


    “Yeah, got it!” He seemed to understand my meaning very well.


    I knew that Grayson was smart.


    Since you know Hartz Construction, I will entrust that part of thepany to you. Due to its unique


    nature and its registration, Hartz Construction can’t be publicly disclosed yet. It must maintain an air of


    mystery.”


    I provided Grayson with detailed information about Hartz Construction’s situation and the need for

    “When you take over Hartz Construction, exercise caution in your actions. My intuition tells me that


    Hartz Construction serves a specific purpose. Until absolutely necessary, we cannot reveal that it is


    also under


    my ownership


    “Understood


    “For now, only a few of us know. As, Nick, Ryan, you, and me!”


    Grayson nodded seriously. “Thank you for your trust, Ms. Chloel”


    Originally, I intended for it to be a tool to defeat Matthew, but now its purpose has evolved. We’re


    can’t help but sense an unusual tension.”


    I trusted Grayson deeply, and perhaps he had been sent to my side by As..


    “I understand. Mr. As assigned me to work under your leadership, ensuring your safety. He didn’t


    impose restrictions on my actions, only emphasizing my loyalty to you.”


    Grayson finally admitted his previous connection with As, which put me at ease. Trust had to be


    mutual.


    After our conversation, Grayson left the room. My gaze returned to the photo on the table. The face in


    the picture continued to send shivers down my spine.


    Could there really be people in the world who look so alike? It was uncanny.


    I absentmindedly ced the photo back into the bag. Just then, Carol came in with a stack of


    documents.


    I reached out to take them and quickly dealt with them. Then, Carol informed me that the project with


    Echelon Group was going smoothly. All the materials were in ce, and the calctions were done.


    She handed me the report. Once I had dealt with the documents, it was almost noon. I put down my


    pen, stretched, and massaged my neck, feeling a sense of relief.


    I suddenly remembered the spa incident from yesterday. I casually called Lauren.


    Lauren picked up the phone with a smirk. “I was just thinking of calling you.”


    “What’s up?” I asked directly.


    “It’s lunchtime. What else could it be?” Lauren scolded me yfully. “Aren’t you in need of some


    recharging? So, why did you call?”


    I chuckled and asked, “Where do you want to go?”


    “I found a fantastic ce that’s to die for!” Lauren said with enthusiasm.


    The mention of food instantly piqued my appetite. “Is it far?”


    “Just wait for me. I’m on my way to your office, and then we can drive there together. It’s not far from


    where you are, close to Ivanna’s ce. Give her a call, and I’ll be downstairs waiting! Lauren said


    before hanging up


    quickly called Ivanns. She answered the call in a frustrated tone, venting her frustrations before


    allowing


    you now? whook my


    “Forget it!” Ivannained, “Why are you so free today?”


    “We’re going for lunch, Lauren said there’s a good restaurant!” I parroted her words.


    “Oh, alright… I was just about to let off some steam!” She vented. “I’m dealing with someone who’s a


    handful, and it’s affecting the whole team.”


    “Is it Harmony again?”
