Chapter 118: Clear Your Schedule
Selene stared at the young man seated on the couch, his shoulders tense as he sat upright, every muscle seemingly on edge. The spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose made him look younger than his age.
She couldn’t help but notice the way he fiddled with his hands, betraying his nervousness despite his attempts to appear composed.
As if the young man could feel the stares of Selene, he turned to look at her.
"Ms. Selene, good day to you ma’am," he greeted as he gave a curt bow.
"Good day to you too, Leo. What do you have for me today?" She asked, taking a seat opposite him.
Leo was the mole Xavier had planted in the Harrison Company, tasked with keeping an eye on Robert and reporting back to them whenever he noticed something suspicious happening.
It was the first time Leo would be making a report.
Selene sighted Xavier striding down the stairs. He was in his usual hoodie and sweatpants.
Selene’s gaze followed him as he settled down beside her, the couch sinking slightly with his weight. She caught the clean scent of his aftershave, and Selene felt an irresistible urge to wrap her arms around him, bury her nose in his neck, and inhale more of his intoxicating scent.
Selene sighed, refocusing on Leo, who brought out a document before handing it over to Selene.
"I put together this report for the last two months. At first, everything with Harrison Company seemed normal. But about two weeks ago, I started noticing some weird numbers in the financial department that didn’t add up," he explained.
