Alice couldn't take it anymore. She thought that Sean was seriously the worst. She couldn't understand why he would pick on women like it was a sport. What kind of talent was that?But before she could jump back in, Macie had already devised the perfect comeback. She smiled softly and said, "Mr. Hart, your charm doesn't come from your outfit. It comes from you. So, whether it's today or any other day, it all works."Sean's lips twitched up. He was unable to hide the grin. He didn't always mind a little flattery, especially when it was delivered like that. Honestly, it put him in a pretty damn good mood.Alice gave Macie a thumbs-up from the front seat. "That was a ten out of ten. You handled his question perfectly."Sean glanced at Macie. "Get in before you roast out there."Relieved the teasing had finally stopped, Macie opened the back door and slipped inside.The engine started, and the AC inside the car was blasting. Within moments, Macie felt a wave of cool relief wash over

Edward scrolled through the photos, but when he saw that the man in the driver's seat wasn't Julian, he froze.The photo had been taken from an angle that caught the driver's side profile. Edward thought that the man looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.He wondered who this guy was. He didn't know where he had suddenly come from.He kept scrolling, hoping for a clearer shot, but there wasn't even a proper back view, let alone a front-facing one. He couldn't identify the man at all.Immediately, he grabbed his phone and made a call. The moment it connected, his voice was sharp with irritation as he said, "Are you trying to lose your job? What the hell is this? I'm paying you, and this is what you send me? You can't even get one clear shot of his face?"The person on the other end of the call, clearly unfazed by Edward's anger, replied evenly, "We just wanted to flag this for you because the man seen with the target today hasn't appeared before. He picked her up

Macie looked at Alice with gratitude in her eyes. The latter had practically voiced everything Macie was thinking.She wanted to nod along so badly, but held it back, keeping her composure while mentally agreeing with her friend wholeheartedly."She wouldn't say it to my face, but she sure had a lot to say behind my back," Sean said lightly as he shot Macie a sideways glance.Macie said nothing. It had been one of those classic moments. She thought that she was venting safely behind his back, only to get caught in the act by the very person she'd been talking about. She had already known that he was aware since last week, but now that he brought it up again, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.However, the awkwardness only lasted a few seconds. She knew that Sean could be a real menace sometimes. He had a whole track record of being impossible."You mean she can't call you out to your face, and now she can't even vent about you behind your back?" Alice shot back at Sean

Sean felt wrongfully accused. He was completely exasperated and at a loss for words. "I'm not blaming Macie for anything. It was just a simple question, really," he said, trying to explain himself.Every time he said something, Macie always replied with such polite, measured courtesy that even when he didn't mean anything by it, she'd still apologize first."What's the point of asking if you didn't care?" Alice snorted.Sean fell silent. He really hadn't meant anything by it, but now it felt like he couldn't explain himself out of it, no matter what he said."I wasn't blaming you. Don't take it the wrong way," Sean turned to Macie and added calmly."And just like on that call, what I said wasn't a curse. It was a medical suggestion. That's all."Macie gave a slight nod. She hadn't actually been offended. She hadn't felt attacked, either. However, when it came to dealing with Sean, it was always safer to err on the side of caution. Admitting fault first gave him no room to twist h

Macie quickly adjusted her expression and tried to look perfectly calm, as if nothing was wrong. Then she gave a soft, polite smile."Just tell the truth," Sean said casually. "Even if you say that you dropped it down the toilet, I won't hold it against you."Macie was at a loss for words. She thought that Sean's intuition was rather scary and wondered if she should tell the truth or come up with a half-decent lie and roll with it."Did you actually drop it in the toilet?" Alice asked, peering over at her friend. "It's fine. It wasn't like you did it on purpose."Macie looked at her, then glanced at Sean. He sat there with a look that made it clear he wasn't letting this go until she gave him something—anything.And lying risked getting caught, which would be worse."It's… somewhere safe," she said, her smile stiff. "There's no need to worry about it ending up in the wrong hands.""Be specific," Sean replied flatly.Macie sighed. "It's in a trash can. No one's going to go diggi
