My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Clear Your Schedule
Selene stared at the young man seated on the couch, his shoulders tense as he sat upright, every muscle seemingly on edge. The spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose made him look younger than his age.

She couldn’t help but notice the way he fiddled with his hands, betraying his nervousness despite his attempts to appear composed.

As if the young man could feel the stares of Selene, he turned to look at her.

“Ms. Selene, good day to you ma’am,” he greeted as he gave a curt bow.

“Good day to you too, Leo. What do you have for me today?” She asked, taking a seat opposite him.

Leo was the mole Xavier had planted in the Harrison Company, tasked with keeping an eye on Robert and reporting back to them whenever he noticed something suspicious happening.

It was the first time Leo would be making a report.

Selene sighted Xavier striding down the stairs. He was in his usual hoodie and sweatpants.

Selene’s gaze followed him as he settled down beside her, the couch sinking slightly with his weight. She caught the clean scent of his aftershave, and Selene felt an irresistible urge to wrap her arms around him, bury her nose in his neck, and inhale more of his intoxicating scent.

Selene sighed, refocusing on Leo, who brought out a document before handing it over to Selene.

“I put together this report for the last two months. At first, everything with Harrison Company seemed normal. But about two weeks ago, I started noticing some weird numbers in the financial department that didn’t add up,” he explained.

Selene opened the file to take a look. She didn’t study business administration in college but she understood what Leo was saying. Plus, the figures were already written down. She made some calculations, and indeed, some figures isn’t adding up.

“Is Robert stealing money from his own company?” Xavier asked, confusion etched on his expression as he collected the file from Selene to take a look at it for himself.

“That was exactly what I thought as well, sir. But Mr. Harrison is very serious with the company. He never plays with the money the company makes,” Leo responded.

“Does he know about the missing money?” Selene asked him.

“I don’t think so, ma’am. If he had, there would be chaos by now. An investigation would have started, but everything in the office seems normal.”

Both Xavier and Selene shared a look.

Robert wasn’t the one who stole the money, because he was the owner of the company. This only meant that someone else, who knew the ins and outs of Harrison’s company was committing the fraud.

But who could it be?

“Do you suspect anyone that could have done this?” Xavier questioned Leo.

“Not at all, sir. Neither Robert Harrison nor his son noticed the missing money. I doubt the shareholders would have done it since they would have to work with either Robert or Jack,” Leo replied.

He was extremely confused about the whole situation. The amount wasn’t big but the disappearance was still a mystery that needed to be solved.

“I see…” Selene hummed.  “Continue to keep an eye on the figures and if you notice more money disappearing, inform Robert about it even if he doesn’t notice it, then you contact me immediately,” she ordered.

Harrison’s company was hers now. Even though she wasn’t in charge of it yet, whatever happened there was her business.

“Alright, ma’am,” Leo nodded in understanding. “There’s something else,” he added, peeking her interest. “Robert Harrison has been leaving the company for unknown reasons. I’ve checked his schedules but he doesn’t have any outside meetings. He could be going out for some lunch or something else, I’m not sure.”

A smile graced Selene’s lips.

“I know about that, Leo. I know exactly where he goes,” she responded.

Xavier glanced at Selene but didn’t ask her anything until Leo left the mansion.

Xavier stared at Selene with a questionable eyebrow.

“Robert has a lover— or should I call her a mistress?” She wondered.

Xavier wasn’t at all shocked by that revelation. His father once had a mistress. When his mum found out, he immediately turned a new leaf.

“So Robert is cheating on his wife, huh? Things just got a little interesting,” he muttered.

“It sure did. And I will be using it against them when the time is right,” she smiled.

“And Michelle? What do you plan on doing to her?” He asked her.

He had visited the Wallace mansion to discuss a few things with his father and greet old Wallace since the woman missed him dearly. She didn’t forget to give him an earful when he didn’t bring Selene along with him.

“She’s already having a hard time taking care of Richard,” he added, remembering Richard’s trembling eyes that stared back at him.

“I’m just waiting for her to strike. She’s hot-tempered and doesn’t think before she does something. So, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with her,” she responded while Xavier hummed.

The both of them fell into a companionable silence as Xavier tried to say the word that hung on his lips.

He was finally going to take Kace’s advice. He wasn’t threatened that Liam would be able to take Selene away from her. Everyone already thinks they are dating, when in fact they were married. He wanted them to act like one.

“Selene, clear your schedule tomorrow. I want to take you somewhere,” he suddenly said, which had Selene snap her head to look at him with eyes widened in disbelief.

“What? Where are we going?” She asked

“It’s a secret,” he replied.

Before Selene could think of another question to ask him, his back was already turned to her as he went back to his study room.

Since she came back from the movie tour, they rarely saw each other because of Selene’s busy schedule. And out of nowhere, he wants to take her somewhere.

Selene’s heart thumped in her chest in excitement and fear.
