Chapter 9 Investigate Herself?
She hoped that the security guard wouldn’t betray them. But Darron asked her about it. Did that mean he had no idea about the truth?
Gwyneth looked at him with uncertainty. But his eyes were as deep as Raynard’s.
She didn’t know why he would ask these questions!
Darron flicked his cigarette ash. “Where is the necklace left in Mr. Fletcher’s room? Did you take it?”
The necklace?
It was from her grandmother. She always wore it.
But she never dared to wear it after that night. She put it in the box where she kept her valuable things.
Gwyneth sweated in her palms nervously. “I thought it belonged to someone else and was not important. So I left it somewhere!”
She didn’t lie that she gave it to the receptionist.
Now that Raynard was looking for that woman, Darron would call the receptionist if she said so.
However, Darron said, “Please replace it. It’s very important!”
Gwyneth gasped, not daring to say she had no idea where it was.
Somehow, she felt that Darron was as serious as Raynard.
Under his oppressive aura, Gwyneth had to nod.
Finally, she came out of his office in a daze.
After returning to her desk, she tried to calm down. But she couldn’t make it at the thought of Darron’s serious face.
From Darron’s attitude, she could tell that Raynard was determined to replace that woman!
She thought, “What should I do?”
She texted Janine: “Janine, we’re done!”
Janine replied, “It’s you, not me.”
She could imagine Janine’s expression at that moment.
Before she replied, Janine said: “Remember. It has nothing to do with you.”
She added: “Delete our messages.”
Janine asked her not to leave any evidence!
Gwyneth was speechless.
She felt more panicked because of Janine’s words.
Panicked, Gwyneth failed to focus on her work no matter how hard she tried.
When Raynard walked out, she looked at his gloomy face and put on a serious face at once.
She stood up respectfully. “Mr. Fletcher, the reports have been put on your desk.”
Raynard glanced at her coldly in silence.
Gwyneth lowered her head after looking at him for a second.
Raynard’s face darkened since she was so afraid of him. But he said nothing and got in.
The financial manager got in soon. Then his angry voice could be heard.
Gwyneth looked at the closed door in fear. She pitied the financial manager, but she pitied herself more.
The financial manager left in down spirits. Gwyneth withdrew her gaze and pretended to focus on her work.
But the financial manager walked to her and said, “Ms. Maynard, Mr. Fletcher wants to see you.”
“OK!”
Hearing that, she felt frightened. But she got up and entered his office at once.
The atmosphere in the office was oppressive.
Gwyneth rubbed her hands. “Mr. Fletcher, what can I do for you?”
“Darron talked to you?”
She held her breath.
She clenched her fists harder.
Recalling how she lied to him that day, she felt that she would be in trouble.
It seemed that Raynard wouldn’t let it go easily.
She had a chill down her spine and nodded. “Yes.”
“Then you investigate with him. Learn from him.”
Gwyneth shook. Did he want her to learn from Darron or to confess herself?
She looked up carefully, only to see his deep and cold eyes.
Gwyneth didn’t think he wanted her to give herself away because he was too busy to make fun of her.
