“What exactly are you looking for? Do you need some help?” he asked as his eyes continued staring at my face.
“Oh no, I’m done here already…” I replied softly.
I prayed that Ace wouldn’t ask for more details about what exactly I was doing down here in the archives. My heart thumped so loudly in my chest that it made me wonder if he could hear the sound of my rapid heartbeat. My hands started to sweat, and for once, I was thankful that the guard had gotten me to put back that document. I wanted to talk to Ace about it soon enough after the end of Project Alpha but it would be terrible if he caught me with it now.
