Semua Bab He Doesn’t Know I Had His Child, And Now He’s My Boss : Bab 31 - Bab 40

DAVIS POVI keep staring at the screen. My office.Someone had used my credentials from my office while I was at home.That shouldn't be possible.I look at Jayden. “Who has access to my office?”He doesn't answer immediately.I already know the answer.“Jayden.”“Your executive assistant. Security. Cleaning staff after hours.”“And?”He looks back at the screen. “Authorized senior staff, depending on the system.”I stand. “Let's check the security records.”Jayden nods.I close the access record and open the building security system.My fingers move quickly across the keyboard. I search the date.Three days before the investigation. The same night my credentials were used.The camera footage appears. The hallway outside my office is empty. Then a timestamp catches my attention.I stop and click on the recording.A person walks into view. The image is dark.I can't see the face clearly. They stop outside my office.Then the screen changes. The person is inside. I stare at the screen.“

DAVIS POVI leave the office and head toward the parking lot, my mind still on the access records.Liam wasn't the one who used his card, but someone had it. Someone entered the building after hours, went to the archive room, and then came straight to my office. They knew exactly where they were going.I get into my car and start the engine. For a moment, I just sit there.As I drive, my mind goes back to the man who came to my office. His warning comes back to me.To make you look like you failed to control your own company.At the time, I thought he was talking about Orion. Now I'm not so sure.Someone used my credentials. Someone entered my office. Someone used an access card that was supposed to be with its owner. And somehow, all of it points back to me.That's exactly what my half-brother needs.He doesn't have to take anything from me. He just needs my father to believe I'm losing control.I tighten my grip on the steering wheel.The strange man knew something. Maybe more than h

NORA POVI rush out of the company building and head straight to the front entrance.The moment I step outside, I stop.My heart is still racing.What am I doing?The presentation is less than an hour away, and I just left the office.But Mai needs me.I don't have a choice.I quickly look around for a taxi and raise my hand when I see one coming. As soon as it stops, I get in.“Please, take me to this address.”I give the driver the school address and sit back.My hands are shaking.I look at the time on my phone.I still have some time.Maybe I can make this work.I can get to the school, sign whatever they need me to sign, make sure Mai is taken to the medical unit, and ask her teacher to stay with her.Then I can rush back to the office.Maybe I can still make the presentation.It sounds almost impossible, but I need to try.I open my phone and think about sending Davis a message. I should at least let him know something happened and that I might be late.My fingers hover over the

NORA POVThe question catches me off guard.I look at Davis.“He’s not involved in her life.”His eyes stay on me. “Why?”I look away for a moment. “It’s complicated.”He studies me for a moment, then nods. “Fine.”I let out a quiet breath.He picks up the file on his desk and looks through it.“Your absence yesterday put me in a difficult position.”My stomach tightens.“I’m sorry.”“The presentation went ahead without you. The board had questions, and I had to answer them.”I nod. “I understand.” His eyes lift to mine. “You were the one they were expecting to hear from.” “I know.”“And you left without telling me or anyone on the team.”“The school called me. My daughter had hit her head. She was dizzy and had vomited. They needed me there.”His expression changes slightly. “Was she badly hurt?”“She was scared. So was I.”I swallow. “She was checked at the medical unit. They said she was stable and let us go home last night.”“Is she okay now?”“She’s better.”He watches me for a

DAVIS POVI look at Jayden. “What did you find?”He turns the laptop toward me. “The access attempt wasn't actually targeting your office.”I frown. “Then what was it targeting?”“I traced the request beyond the security system.”He opens another screen. “It was trying to reach the internal company network.”I step closer. “Which part?”“Several areas.”He scrolls through the information. “Finance. Client records. Internal operations.”I look at him. “How far did it get?”“Not far enough to access anything. But whoever made the attempt knew what they were looking for.”I study the screen. “So this wasn't about my office.”“No.”“And it wasn't only about Orion.”Jayden shakes his head. “No.”I look back at the laptop. “What were they trying to reach?”He opens another file. “The central operations database.”I frown. “What does it contain?” “Company activity. Project information. Internal reports. Client data.”“How much access would that give them?” “Enough to cause serious problems.
