Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 741

Chapter 741

The State Security Bureau was located in Kanit City, not too far away. After getting out of the subway, Tessa led Aria toward the designated car waiting for them.

Upon seeing them, the young man assigned as their driver immediately stepped out of the car to greet them. Throughout the drive, the young man kept stealing glances at Aria through the rearview mirror. Finally, he asked, “Tessa, is this Aria you invited?”

“Exactly.” Tessa nodded. And then she introduced, “This is Clifford from the Supervision Department.”

Aria gave a slight nod. “Hello,” she said.

Clifford beamed and greeted Aria. Then he turned to Tessa and asked, “Tessa, is Aria coming to join the Supervision Department?”

Tessa shook her head. “She hasn’t decided which department to join yet.”

Tessa turned to Aria and said, “Let’s get your onboarding done first. Come in when you’re free, or if you’re too busy, wait until the semester break.”

Aria replied, “Got it.”

Clifford said, “Aria, the drive will take over an hour. Feel free to get some sleep.”

Aria replied, “Thanks.” She looked out the window.

Everyone in the car fell silent. With nothing left to say, Tessa closed her eyes to rest.

Clifford kept sneaking glances at Aria through the rearview mirror. He thought, “The Bureau’s full of tough guys; now that Aria has joined, I hope everyone will treat her well.

An hour later. Clifford rolled down the window and called out to the guard on duty, “It’s Tessa’s car.”

The guard greeted Tessa and immediately granted access.

As soon as the car pulled into the yard, Tessa immediately led Aria toward the administration building. “Let’s sign the contract and get your paperwork done first,” she said.

The staff had already prepared all the necessary paperwork. Aria reviewed it and signed her name without hesitation.

Clifford reminded with a grin, “Aria, make sure to read it thoroughly, in case there are any hidden catches.” Tessa shot him a warning look.

Aria smiled, “I’ve already reviewed it. The contract’s standard is good. All my requests are included.”

Clifford exclaimed in surprise, “Aria, you finished reading that already? Did you make special requests? Mind if I take a look at what they are?”

Aria slid the contract across the table. Clifford read aloud, “Has complete freedom of action, including the right to opt out of the State Security Bureau’s routine training, and the discretion to accept or decline any tasks.”

“That’s great!” Clifford yelled.

Tessa cleared her throat and said, “She’s a professor at Mandino University with at least two more years there. Her schedule’s packed.”

“Aria is even a graduate advisor. Since you’re already a grad advisor, why bother joining the State Security Bureau? Wouldn’t

it make more sense to focus on teaching?” Clifford asked.

A group of five walked into the office. Their leader handed a stamped application form to another staff member and said, “We need the files for Case 0524.”

The staff took it and said, “One moment.”

After handing over the documents, the man finally turned to Tessa and said politely, “Tessa. We just overheard the contract. Were those clauses specifically made for Aria?”

“Yes,” Tessa responded.

Fabian asked, “Tessa, I have no objection to you inviting her to join us. But if she skips training and something goes wrong on a mission, it compromises the team. What can we do?”

Fabian sported a buzz cut, a jagged scar running down his left cheek to his collarbone, giving him a fierce, menacing look. That scar was from a mission, courtesy of a teammate’s blunder. That was why he reacted so strongly when he heard those words.

Tessa explained, “She won’t be involved in missions for the time being. Even if assigned, she won’t be a frontline operative, so don’t worry.”

Fabian said, “I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you.”

The staff handed over an access pass and said, “You can head to the archives to retrieve them now.”

“Thanks,” Fabian replied. The five of them left.

In the hallway, the shorter man said, “I was curious what kind of talent could catch Tessa’s eye enough for a personal invitation. But Aria looks pretty ordinary. Tessa wasted a spot on her.”

“Don’t say things like that. Aria may have some other impressive skills. Otherwise, why would they invite her?”

The only woman in the team burst out laughing. “Aria must have some talent skills. I bet she’s not someone to be underestimated.”

The man asked, “What’s the bet? If we lose, you get to call the shots for a month. But if we win, you’re on stinky sock duty for a whole month.”

The woman said, “Don’t gross me out! What would I even have you do? It’s not like I’m going to make you fetch my slippers or anything.”

Their voices faded into the distance, leaving the hallway quiet once more.

Clifford reassured her, “Aria, that’s just how Fabian’s team is; they can be a bit blunt. Don’t mind it.”

“Yeah, I’m not upset,” Aria said as she signed the confidentiality agreement and the liability waiver. “After all, Tessa invited me. Even if I fail, she’s the one who’ll be embarrassed. If anyone has a problem, they should take it up with Tessa, not me.”

Tessa was speechless.

Clifford replied, “You’re right, Aria. But what if they’re too scared to confront Tessa and decide to come after you instead?”

Aria shrugged and said, “Don’t worry.” She thought, ‘If anyone tries to bully me, I’ll hit them.

Tessa took Aria to get her identification verified. Tessa asked, “Want to look around? I can show

you

around.”

Aria smiled and said, “No thanks. I’ll take a look around another time.”

Tessa asked, “Do you want to go back now? I’ll ask Clifford to take you to the subway station.”
