When he got downstairs for breakfast fully dressed, the food was already served on the table. However, Camille was nowhere to be seen.“Where is she?” he asked one of the maids nearby.The maid, Marie, approached him and said politely, “Miss Parker went ahead to the company, Mr. Callahan. She said to inform you that she will go to work early to finalize preparations for the Solar Project.”“I see,” Christian said. Marie quickly excused herself to the kitchen.He watched her leave with a slightly raised eyebrow. He had noticed that she never met his eyes the whole time. In fact, there seemed to be a hint of fear in her demeanor.Had he been unruly last night? He still couldn’t remember much, but if so, that would be humiliating. He had always prided himself on being calm and decisive at all times. If he had behaved like a foolish drunk last night…Christian decided that he would have to confront Camille about this later at the company. He had an inkling as to why she left before him, a

Harold immediately let go of Camille, but he did not move an inch from his position. In fact, he almost seemed smug.‘How foolish,’ Camille thought in her head, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.“What were you doing just now?” Christian’s voice was icy cold.“Just talking with your little secretary,” Harold had the guts to respond.“Excuse me?”Meanwhile, Camille took a few steps back, dusting off her collar and fixing her blouse in place. She could not keep the disgust off her expression. She would let Christian deal with this now, thank god.That just now was one of the most revolting situations she had ever been placed into. Normally she would pummel touchy men like that into the ground, but seeing as this was one of the more influential men in the city, she could not afford to be too hasty. Reputation mattered in this town, unfortunately.She also did not want to be in the spotlight too much. The Callahans made sure that her new identity was not suspicious at all and pulled a l

Camille’s mouth dropped open. “Get rid of him?! Mr. Callahan, that’s—”“Oh my. What’s going on inside that head of yours, Miss Parker?” Amusement flickered in Christian’s eyes. “I merely implied getting him fired or framed in order to get him out of the company.”Her lips stretched into a thin line. For some reason, she did not believe his reason one bit.“However,” Christian continued on, “such a thing is impossible at this time since Grady is good at his job. That means it’s up to you to uncover secrets and find out what’s going on under my orders.”Camille was seething on the inside.What in the world was going on? Why did it seem like she was being sent on an espionage mission of some sort? This certainly wasn’t a part of her job description, right? Sure, there had been times when they needed to scope out the competition, but to this extent…“You’re not gonna hurt him or anything, right?” she asked carefully, eyeing him with a wary look.“That depends on your performance. But yes,

Joanna casually entered the office and walked over to Michael’s desk. She was perfectly styled as always; her long brown hair was tied up in an elegant bun, and her brown eyes were narrowed, as if she were slightly displeased about something.Then again, she always did look that way.Meanwhile, Grady tried his best not to flinch visibly. Yes, this was his boss’s older sister, but he knew that the relationship between the two siblings was strained, so the fact that Joanna just walked into the office without even knocking made Grady a little nervous about what might happen next.Contrary to his fears, however, Michael didn’t seem unfazed by her intrusion.“What woman were you two talking about?” she asked indifferently, crossing her arms over her chest. She looked down at his desk and noticed Camille’s photos laid out for her to see. She took one and studied it closely. “And who is this woman?”Grady tensed even more. Joanna seemed pretty nonchalant about all this, which was a bit surpr
