Chapter 743 Suspicion
1:
Max’s eyes still held suspicion, though he kept it hidden well.
Right then, Tess stood up, looking like she was ready to leave.
Max spoke up, “All done?”
“Yeah. Go find Lyra and Raven for me. Tell them it’s time to go.”
Tess grabbed her bag, face calm.

Before she even finished speaking, the elevator doors slid open. Lyra and Raven walked in one after the other.
“And they call this a toppany? What a letdown.”
Raven swung her arms and muttered, clearly annoyed. Lyra followed with noints, but the cold look on her face said enough.
“Your ce was a total snooze.”
Right before leaving, Tess actually cracked a rare joke at Max’s expense.
Max blinked, surprised, then smiled faintly.
“Sounds like I’ve got some work to do. You’re always wee toe back and check if I’ve improved, Ms. Tess.”
He wasn’t the least bit upset and even yed along.
Tess didn’t answer. She turned and walked off.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Max’s smile vanished. He shot a nce behind him, and aptop instantly appeared on the coffee table.
The screen lit up with security footage from inside the elevator.
“What were you two even doing?”
Tess crossed her arms and looked over.
“Doing what? I thought a big–namepany like Hunt Group would at least be interesting. We walked around twice and found nothing.”

Raven pouted, clearly irritated.

Tess looked at her with some helplessness. “You’re the one who said you wanted more time in there. I even stalled for you.”
“Yeah, and I regret it. You didn’t even call us. We just came back on our own. If I’d known it was gonna be that boring, I wouldn’t havee at all. What a waste of time.”
Raven waved her arms in frustration, looking totally done.
Tess let out a sigh and turned to Lyra. “What about you? You were in there for a while. Notice anything?”
“Nothing. Just like Raven said. And the security’s tight. We could only see most of th workspaces from the hallways.”
Lyra looked disappointed too.
Tess sighed again but didn’t push it.
“You both came all this way with me. Let’s grab something to eat.”
Right as she finished, the elevator opened again. The three of them headed out together.
“What were they doing when you found them?”
Max’s gaze turned sharp. That fog in his eyes hadn’t cleared at all.
His assistant noticed the shift in his tone and realized this was serious.
He rubbed the back of his head, trying to remember. “I don’t think they were doing anything, really. They were just walking around in the hallway. Looked bored. They chatted with a few people here and there, like they were just killing time.”
Max’s brows pinched even tighter.
People never came without a reason.
Tess definitely had something nned. He just didn’t know what yet.
“Take Rachel back to her room.”
They couldn’t discuss anything else with her still sitting there on the couch.
Rachel had been unusually quiet after seeing Tess. She looked more obedient than before.

But Max felt heavier, like something was pressing on his chest.
At the same time, Tess and the others were already in the car.
“Jesus, that Max is such a snake. He actually had someone tailing <b>us</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>
Raven waited until the car door shut before she pped her chest and muttered.
“Did you find anything?”
Tess’s voice turned cold and low.

“We did. We asked a bunch of people. None of them knew Rachel existed. But I’m sure she’s still in thepany. After what happened before, I nted eyes around Hunt Group. I know for a fact she never left the building.”
Lyra’s tone was firm. Her face was dead serious.
“But one of the janitors told us something.”
“Yeah, that one cleans Max’s office. The same guy my other contact hooked me up
Raven grinned and smugly patted her chest.
“What did they say?”
Tess‘ brows furrowed even deeper.
with.”
“Rachel’s been in Max’s office this whole time. She never left. There’s a hidden room in there, a small suite with a bathroom. Everything she needs gets sent in directly.”
Lyra stayed calm as she broke it all down,ying it out for Tess with zero hesitation.
Shock shed in Tess‘ eyes.
Was he out of his mind? He locked Rachel inside some hidden room in his own office? That was illegal detention. How was he any different from Henry now?
Tess instantly thought back to when she saw Rachel in the lobby. Her face looked so lifeless, like she’d been worn down to nothing. Her eyes werepletely drained.
