NovelEnglishChapter 112
The archive room at Ferguson Corporation was massive, stretching over about three thousand square feet. Clara
walked in, broom in hand, ready to spend a fair bit of tcleaning. But as soon as she stepped inside, she
realized the place was spotless as it was tended to daily by a dedicated crew. There wasn't a speck of dust in
sight.
Feeling a bit cheeky, she grabbed a book, plopped it over her face, and settled in for a guilt-free nap. She'd been
snoozing when someone gently lifted the book off her face.
Clara rubbed sleep from her eyes and looked up to find Dylan standing over her. She jolted awake, startled.
Dylan glanced at the book's cover and, with his deep, magnetic voice, read out, "Living with Your Boss?"
Oh, great.
How on earth did a book like that end up here? She'd only grabbed it to block the light and never even checked
the title! It was probably something left behind by the cleaning crew.
Clara's cheeks went crimson, embarrassment prickling her scalp. She rushed to explain, "That's not my book."

beside her, basked in the warm afternoon sun.
As his elegant fingers flipped open a page, Clara felt even more flustered. From the title alone, she could guess
the content was scandalous. She hastily snatched the book and tossed it aside. "Mr. Dylan, a book like that
would just corrupt your eyes. Better not to read it."
Dylan, in his sharp black suit, took in her flushed face and looked away. "I asked you to clean, not nap."
"I'm really sorry." She quickly bent down in apology.
Dylan slowly settled back into his wheelchair, his demeanor calm and composed, though his tone was cool.
"Cwithsomewhere."
"Right now?" she asked, a bit taken aback.
"es."
Clara quickly moved to push his wheelchair. "Okay."
It was during work hours, but when the boss gave an order like that, she had no choice but to follow. Besides,
she wasn't dumb; getting on good terms with Dylan wasn't a bad idea. Dylan was a man of principle certainly not
like Jackson, who was always yelling and making a fuss.
As they reached the underground parking lot, she figured Aiden would join them,
but the driver's seat was empty.
Confused, she asked, "Am | driving?"
Dylan was already seated in the back, eyes slightly closed. "Should I drive?"
Would she let her boss act as the chauffeur? Not in a million years!
She quickly jumped into the driver's seat. "I'll drive, of course. Mr. Dylan, where to?"
"West Hill Cemetery."
Clara's grip on the steering wheel faltered, a chill running through her. West Hill Cemetery...

She'd heard sthings about
Shelly recently, and apparently,
Shelly was buried at West Hill Cemetery. Rumor had it, that getting a spot there wasn't about money but power
and influence. It was the resting place for the elite.
The place was tightly guarded. Facial recognition was required for visitors wanting
to pay their respects.
Her palms started to sweat. If Shelly's death was somehow linked to her, and Dylan was taking her there alone,
was this finally the moment he'd avenge Shelly?
She swallowed hard, glancing up at the rearview mirror and catching his gaze.

There was no denying it, Dylan had a face that could stop you in your tracks, a testament to nature's favoritism,
no matter how many times you saw it. But when anger clouded that face, it was downright terrifying.
She forced a nervous smile, trying to steady herself under the growing tension.
