Loving You In Secret

Chapter 364

Alas, she had to do it because she refused to betray Tyler.

10 minutes I ater, the man walked out of the bedroom. "The documents you brought are quite useful,

Miss Shaw,” he said emotionlessly. i

She sobered and held her breath as the man strolled toward her. His shadow loomed over her as he

got closer, and tension rose in the room.

"You were smart enough to only edit the numbers on the contracts." He studied her thoughtfully as he

lifted her chin. "Miss Shaw, do you take me for a fool?"

'He found out,' she lamented internally and closed her eyes helplessly.

This had been the best solution she could think of, yet he managed to see through it.

She knew that arguing would not help her and thus opened her eyes. "How did you find out?"

The look in his eyes darkened. "Don't you know that the prices stated on bidding contracts are

announced to the public?"

She did not know anything about business and could not possibly know about that. If the prices were

indeed public knowledge, editing the numbers would have been nothing but a joke.

Vicky knew what it meant to deceive the man and stood still quietly.

He changed the subject abruptly and asked, "What did you do today?"

Their conversation had been brief even since the masked man reached out to her in Stoneford City, so

they never idly chatted. Thus, Vicky was slightly surprised by the question.

"I went to see a friend at the hospital."

"Then?"

She scowled and thought to herself, 'What does he mean by that? I went home, of course.'

She was about to answer when she suddenly remembered that she had run into Harvey and was

saved by him outside the hospital.

However, this had nothing to do with the masked man as his intention had been clear from the

beginning: to either obtain the confidential information of Hart Corporation or to sleep with her. 1

Vicky knew that he might know something since he had people following her, but what he knew did not

matter to her.

"Yes," she said coldly.

"Vicky, I told you that I hate being lied to," he drawled.

"The results remain the same," Vicky said sarcastically.

He moved close until she could feel his warm breath on her cheek.

"You don't know that," he said.

She tensed. "What do you mean?"

"If you tell me the truth, maybe...l can spare you today."

Hope rose amid despair, and she muttered, "Do...you mean that?"
