SWNOVELS Chapter 594: Being Followed
Showing weakness was currently the best way to protect oneself. Reginald was different from other competitors and required a different approach. The next day, Julian went to the company. Terrence had already instructed Linda that when Julian arrived, she should receive him and arrange everything accordingly. Grandma Sterling was shocked to learn that Julian went to the company, but upon knowing it was with Terrence's consent, she calmed down and did not inquire further. Grandma Sterling unconditionally trusted her grandson and believed there must be a reason for his actions.
Julian held a temporary position as general manager at the company, which came with certain powers. However, in reality, Linda would not consult Julian on major company decisions but would report to Terrence first. Rick was still recuperating and could not go to work, leaving Linda and the secretarial team very busy.
Meanwhile, Selene also joined the company as Harvey's secretary. Harvey was a laid-back figure in the company and had not officially taken over; his father Williams was still in charge. Harvey rented an apartment next to Selene's, not only to monitor her but also to prevent anyone from Celestial Alliance from approaching her.
Selene, both before and after her amnesia, had never worked as a secretary. She didn't know what special skills she had until she was placed in the secretarial department and discovered she could understand several languages. Thus, all translation tasks were assigned to Selene. She accepted her salary without complaint and worked diligently.
Harvey stood outside the secretarial department, looking at Selene through the window and muttering, "She really is capable; she's worth every penny of her salary." Selene had tied her hair into a ponytail and wore a white women's suit with a white camisole underneath, giving off a professional vibe. With her outstanding appearance, it didn't take long for male colleagues to start inquiring about her on their first day together.
Selene remained indifferent and rejected any goodwill from others. After work, Harvey waited in his car downstairs: "Selene, get in the car; let's go home together." Selene wouldn't ride in anyone else's car except for Harvey's since he was her creditor. Moreover, he was the first person she recognized after losing her memory, although their initial meeting was awkward.
Selene got into the car: "You mentioned Meredith before; take me to see her." "Why do you want to see Meredith?" Harvey started the car. Selene replied, "You said I knew her; I want to see if I can remember anything." "She might be busy; how about another day?" Harvey said, "My boss is blind now; Meredith is staying with him at the hospital."
"Harvey, you said I belong to Celestial Alliance. What does Celestial Alliance do? Where is my home? Do I have any family or friends?" Harvey laughed: "Selene, your reaction time is quite slow; it's been so long before you asked me these questions." Selene gave him a look. Harvey became serious: "I don't know where you live or who your family is; you never told me these things. As for Celestial Alliance, I don't know either; you said you were part of it before-were you lying?" Harvey's words were half-true; he also wished Selene could just live as an ordinary person. However, he genuinely didn't know much about Selene's past.
Selene asked: "How did we meet?" "You used to be Meredith's bodyguard; that's how we met," Harvey said. "Don't ask me anything else; I really don't know. You used to act all aloof and mysterious and never said anything." Holding onto a sliver of hope, Selene asked: "Does Meredith know?" "Meredith doesn't know either; you were just her bodyguard for a few months," Harvey comforted her. "Selene, your past doesn't matter anymore; just focus on living well now. Not remembering might not be a bad thing."
If she remembered being an assassin, would she kill him first? Selene said expressionlessly: "I want to know if I had any savings before." Harvey: "..."
"Do you know Hya?" Selene recalled a vague dream. "My name is Selene; is Hya my sister?" "Hya? I've never heard you mention her before," Harvey thought to himself-could Hya be another assassin from Celestial Alliance? Was she really Selene's sister? This could be an important clue.
Just then, Selene noticed someone following them and her eyes sharpened: "Park ahead and enter the mall; we're being followed."
