Chapter 55: Finally Found It
"I asked, what are you doing here?" Jack repeated when Selene hadn’t replied to his question.
He had been sent back by Robert from the Harrison Company to retrieve an important document he had forgotten to take to work.
When he arrived inside, he went straight to the study room, only to find it opened with Selene coming out from it.
On the other hand, Selene tried to find the right words to explain why she was there. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.
"Are you a thief?" Jack questioned as he glared at her.
He had always suspected Selene of being Anastasia, but after she drank the orange juice without showing any reaction, he knew she wasn’t Anastasia. However, the current situation raised his suspicion. What could she be doing in his father’s study room?
"I was going to the bathroom when I saw this door open. Michelle told me earlier that your father hadn’t returned yet, so when I saw the door open, I went inside to exchange pleasantries with him, but he wasn’t there," she replied, hoping Jack would believe her. If he didn’t, he would report her presence in his father’s study room to Robert.
Jack stared at her, his expression unreadable. Without a word, he brushed past her and stepped into the study room. His eyes carefully scanned the files, the desk, and every corner of the room, searching for anything that might be out of place.
He meticulously checked each item, ensuring nothing had been disturbed, while Selene watched anxiously from the doorway, hoping her explanation had been convincing enough to satisfy his suspicions.
Unfortunately for him, Selene had been careful when she was searching for the files. She made sure she arranged everything she picked up.
When Jack was assured nothing was out of place, he turned to glare at Selene.
