The next morning, Logan appeared exceptionally energetic, clearly satisfied from his night of passion.
Bailey, meanwhile, walked with a slight wobble. When she looked my way, her eyes couldn’t hide her smug triumph.
“Logan, since I’m not officially part of the delegation, I’ll wait for you at the hotel rather than cause problems at the venue. Good luck today!”
Logan smiled at her with complete adoration.
“That’s my thoughtful Bailey. Unlike certain people who only know how to ruin things.” He shot a pointed glance my

I laughed bitterly inside.

“Comply?”
Logan’s eyes went cold before turning to me. “Autumn, you’re deputy team leader. Tell them who I am.”
I shrugged helplessly. “Sorry, Director Reed, I can’t intervene in security matters. If you’ve done nothing wrong, just cooperate with them. After all, the innocent have nothing to fear.”

The other team members by my side nodded in agreement.
Logan’s eyes burned with fury.
“Autumn, you’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Kicking me when I’m down? I promise you’ll pay for this when we get
home!”
Ignoring his threats, I led the team to follow the security personnel to the screening room–as Logan’s colleagues, our belongings would also be re–examined.
The results came quickly.
The head of security approached Logan with a smartwatch, his expression grave:
“Mr. Reed, we’ve detected a sophisticated listening device embedded in your smartwatch. Your conference
credentials have been revoked. You’ll need to come with us to National Security for questioning.”
