Veronica told him, "When he approached the table, I thought he was going to find out that some documents were missing. I was sure that we were going to be exposed. Thankfully, we weren't."
While the two of them were talking, they didn't notice the door opening soundlessly.
"I knew something was amiss. I know now.'
A cold voice interrupted their conversation.
Veronica and Sebastian froze. They were too excited to notice him eavesdropping on their conversation.
They turned around and saw the man in a black cape. His face was still covered with the black hood. Unlike before, she couldn't see his eyes.
The man glanced at her in an unhurried manner. "Where did you hide the documents?" he interrogated her.
He was glad that he pretended to leave and then eavesdropped without showing his shadow under the door.
"…" Veronica wanted to run away this time.
