She felt like knocking her head against the wall.
The more she tried to hide her relationship with Jasper, the more she was afraid of being caught red-handed.
She couldn't bear it if their secret was exposed. She was worried, but did not know where to turn to for help.
"Inspector Grace, were you with Mr. Milton when we were on the train?" Benjamin's assistant asked in surprise.
Stella kept her head down and did not respond.
"Yes, she was with me," Jasper answered for Stella.
"Don't tell me you're her boyfriend, are you?" Benjamin's assistant asked as if she just uncovered the secret of the century.
Jasper went silent.
Stella could not stand the pressure anymore.
She needed to bounce back and explain. "No, he is not. I knew him because my best friend is working as a doctor at the military base."
Jasper looked at Stella coldly. His eyes were as deep as a lake, and his tightly pursed lips showed his displeasure.
