Chapter 42

    Sheh pov


    The desire to uncover the truth regarding the woman named Emily consumed my thoughts to the extent that I feltpelled to take a risk. I procured a costume that would allow me to alter my identity, enabling me to gain ess to her office by any means necessary.


    My intention was to discreetly install a CCTV camera within her workspace, hoping that this would lead to revtions, especially since she had consistently denied her true identity. As I approached Arian''s room, I noticed he was still deeply asleep.


    I called out to him, but he did not respond, remaining silent despite my voice. I was on the verge of touching him when he suddenly awoke.


    "Don''t!" he eximed. "What is it, Sheh? I have no intention of scheming with you," he retorted, pointing at me in frustration.


    "You have no choice, young man."


    Arian''s eyes narrowed, practically boring into my soul. "What on earth are you rambling about, Sheh? What wild scheme have you cooked up this time?"


    I inhaled deeply, trying to keep my cool. "I''ve stumbled upon a way to dig up the dirt on Emily. And I need your expertise to pull it off."


    Arian raised an eyebrow, his curiosity clearly getting the better of him despite his initial hesitation. "Spill it."


    I paused, weighing how much to share. But there was something about Arian''s vibe that made me feel a bit more rxed. "I''ve got a disguise that''ll let me sneak into Emily''s office without a hitch. I n to set up a hidden camera to catch her in the act of being her true self."


    Arian''s face shifted from doubt to genuine surprise. "You''re really willing to go that far? What if you get caught red-handed?"


    I squared my shoulders, my resolve shining through. "I need to uncover the truth, Arian. And I can''t do it without you."


    Arian let out a long sigh, rubbing his temples like he was trying to massage some sense into himself. "Alright, I''m in. But if we end up in hot water, I''m pointing fingers at you."


    I grinned, relief flooding over me. "It''s a deal."


    We dove into nning, our hushed voices weaving through the air as we mapped out the risks and rewards.


    What deal are you both talking about without implementing me? Luna Viviana''s voiceced with sarcasm as she walked in, I turned to Arian. You didn''t bolt the door? He asked calmly. I don''t know what you are doing here, but I think we have our differences.


    This n is none of your concern, please, Luna Viviana.


    Luna Viviana''s eyes sparkled with amusement, her gaze flicking between Arian and me. "Oh, but it is my concern. You see, I''ve been watching you, Sheh. I know all about your little obsession with Emily." Arian''s eyes narrowed, his voice low and warning. "Luna, stay out of this."


    Luna Viviana chuckled, her voice husky. "Or what, Arian? You''ll try to stop me? I don''t think so. You see, I have a stake in this game too. Emily''s secrets are mine to uncover, not yours."


    I bristled, my patience wearing thin. "What do you want, Luna?"


    Luna Viviana sauntered closer, her eyes glinting with malice. "I want in. I want to be part of your little n. And if you refuse... let''s just say I have ways of making my presence known." Arian and I exchanged a wary nce. We couldn''t trust Luna Viviana, but we couldn''t afford to alienate her either. Not yet.


    "Fine," I said finally. "You''re in. But one wrong move, and you''re out."


    Luna Viviana''s smile was triumphant. "Oh, I''m shaking with fear. Now, tell me, what''s the n?"


    As we hesitated, Luna Viviana''s eyes seemed to gleam with an inner knowledge, as if she already knew more than she was letting on. And I wondered, had we just made a deal with the devil herself?


    "After finalizing the details with Arian and Luna Viviana, I set my sights on Emily''s office. Considering she might not have arrived yet, I decided to disguise myself as an electrician to gain unrestricted ess. But a nagging doubt crept in - Emily''s cautious nature might foil my n. No matter the risk, I was resolute: I had to get inside, no matter the cost."


    As I approached Emily''s office, my heart raced with anticipation. I adjusted my electrician''s uniform, ensuring the disguise was convincing. Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and stepped inside.


    The room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of theputer. I scanned the space, my eyes locking onto Emily''s desk. That''s when I saw her, seated in her chair, her back to me. "Hello?" I called out, trying to sound nonchnt.


    Emily swiveled around, her eyes narrowing as she took in my disguise. "Can I help you?"


    I forced a smile, trying to appear confident. "Just here to check the wiring, ma''am. Routine maintenance."


    Emily''s gaze lingered, her expression unreadable. Then, she nodded curtly. "Very well. Be quick about it."


    I moved swiftly, pretending to inspect the outlets while actually nting the hidden camera. My hands trembled slightly as I worked, aware of Emily''s watchful eyes.


    "As I turned to leave, Emily''s voice cut through the silence, sending a jolt of anxiety through me. ''What''s that book at the edge? May I have it?'' she asked, her gaze drifting toward the shelf beside me.


    My heart skipped a beat as I hesitated, fearing she might notice the wedding ring I wore, a secret I kept hidden. I nodded mutely, desperate to avoid drawing attention to my hand.


    Quickly, I grabbed my gloves and slipped them on, careful to conceal the ring. With my hands now safely covered, I reached for the book and handed it to her, trying to appear nonchnt despite the turmoil brewing inside.


    As I handed Emily the book, our fingers touched, and a shiver ran down my spine. I quickly withdrew my hand, hoping she hadn''t noticed my gloved fingers. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but she said nothing, taking the book and beginning to flip through its pages.


    I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking I''d dodged a bullet. But then, Emily''s gaze snapped up, her eyes locking onto mine with an unnerving intensity.


    "You''re not like the other electricians," she stated, her voice low and husky. "There''s something... different about you."Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    My heart skipped a beat. Had I blown my cover? I forced augh, trying to sound casual. "Just a little more... attentive to detail, that''s all."


    Emily''s gaze lingered, as if searching for something beneath my words. Then, she nodded curtly and returned to the book, dismissing me.


    I took the opportunity to make a hasty exit, my mind racing with questions. What had Emily seen? And how much did she suspect?
