Without even thinking, Selina darted under the covers.
"No!"
Logan: "..."
He let out a low chuckle.
"So in your eyes, Iām just some kind of animal?"
Selinaās eyes brimmed with tears. How thick-skinned was he to ask that so casually? Did he seriously not know he acted like a beast?
Logan spoke slowly.
"I want you to be my executive assistant."
Selina blinked, curious when he shifted to business.
"Hmm?"
"Youāll keep managing the design department," he said with a smile in his eyes. "But Mrs. Reid, youāll need to move your office upstairs."
"It wonāt be too busy, but I need you."
Selina understood instantly.
Logan had plenty of secretaries and assistants. He didnāt need peopleāhe needed her close by.
"Thereās someone planted on my team." Loganās eyes went cold.
Selinaās face turned serious. "Who?"
"I donāt know."
Selina froze. He didnāt know?
Logan not knowing was shocking. His assistants and secretaries had all been with him for at least five yearsāsome even ten. If there was a traitor among them...
Loganās gaze narrowed.
The Country Y trip hadnāt gone well.
Their offer had leaked in advance. Jack blamed the slip on the secretarial team, and they admitted fault. But Logan wasnāt convinced.
His gut told him someone had been planted close to him.
He had no idea who it was, or which faction they worked for.
For the first time since taking over Reid Group, Logan was on the back foot.
Selina asked, intrigued, "But how do you know me coming in will expose them?"
Loganās mouth curved in a small smile.
"Because youāll make them nervous."
Once they got nervous, theyād slip up. Theyād show their hand.
Why had she suddenly been reassigned to the chairmanās office?
Did Logan already suspect something and want her there to keep watch?
Selina got it. "Okay. Iāll go with you this afternoon."
"Mrs. Reid." Logan suddenly called after her, bringing up something unrelated.
"After I got Scottās shares, I now hold 17% of CY Club. If you want them, Iāll give them to you."
Selina paused.
Logan lowered his gaze and gently patted her hair.
"Your secrets are yours to keep. But if you want it, itās yours."
Selinaās lips pressed tight for a moment, then relaxed.
"Itās not really some big secret. The previous owner of CY Club was my grandfather... the man who adopted me. Later he said he was giving it back to its āoriginal owner,ā so I stopped going there."
Loganās eyes narrowed sharply.
"Previous owner? Original owner?"
"I donāt know who the original owner was. But that club..."
Selina looked puzzled.
"Riley said you gave it to Hunter?"
Loganās expression turned grim.
āYes. That was the rumor.
Everyone thought Logan had bought CY Club, then gifted it to Hunter when Hunter was at rock bottom, giving him the capital and confidence to rebuild.
But only Logan and Hunter knew the truth.
