Raina's POV:
The sudden knock on the door interrupted my plan.
I was just about to unbutton Charles' shirt when I heard the knock, so I paused for a moment, frowning irritably.
It was so late at night. Who would come at such an odd time?
'What a bummer!'
I quickly put my clothes back on and got out of bed to open the door.
It was Tracy standing outside with a cup of warm honey water in her hand.
Taking the glass of honey water from her, I said in an impatient voice, "You may leave now. And don't bother us anymore."
"You are the one who should be leaving, not me. You are not allowed to enter this room whenever you want, so please leave immediately," Tracy said coldly.
"And why should I leave? Actually, I am going to stay right here tonight."
I gritted my teeth, glaring at her.
It had been such a long time since Caroline left, but those bodyguards were still loyal to her.
How could she have so many people on her side?
"This house belongs to the Moore family, and you are not one of them. Besides, Mr. Moore isn't even interested in you."
"That's between me and Charles, and it doesn't concern you. You'd better act sensibly, and pretend like you didn't see anything,"
I warned her in a low voice and proceeded to close the door to continue my plan.
However, Tracy quickly reacted by blocking the door with one of her hands.
"Are you going to come out on your own or do you want me to drag you out?"
Tracy's persistence was starting to get on my nerves.
Although I did not want to give up easily, I also did not want to wake Charles and irritate him, so I had no choice but to give up.
Right before I walked out of the bedroom, I turned around and glanced at Charles.
Deep down, I was absolutely reluctant to give up on the opportunity, but I also knew that it wasn't the right time. I consoled myself, telling myself that I would get numerous opportunities in the future.
I knew that I could easily find another chance as long as I stayed in the Moore mansion.
I was about to walk past the study when I paused for a moment.
The task that Adam had assigned to me was still not completed, and I wondered if it was the best time.
After looking around for a bit, I was delighted to see that I couldn't find any surveillance cameras in the corridor.
In order to not attract anyone's attention, I tiptoed into the study.
There were numerous bunches of documents on the desk in the study room.
Taking out my phone, I immediately clicked pictures of them.
Afraid that I might get caught if I tried to login to the computer, I decided to open the drawer and check what was inside.
The study was absolutely silent, except for the sound of the camera shutters and the rustling of paper.
I was so nervous that I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my throat any moment.
After clicking some more pictures, I left in a hurry.
The moment I closed the door behind me, I heard a child's voice.
"What are you doing?"
My heart was beating violently, and huge wave of panic crashed into my heart.
I turned around stiffly and found James, dressed in his pajamas, standing behind me.
He raised his head and stared at me with a doubtful look in his eyes.
"Your father has a headache, so I came here to find some painkillers for him," I explained in a low voice while trying to calm down.
"Okay, where is the medicine, then? Let me give it to him." Saying that, James reached out his hand to me.
"I haven't found it yet. It's probably in the master bedroom. I will go there and look for it again." I immediately tried to change the topic. "James, it is so late now. Why aren't you in bed? You know that staying up too late is not good for your health, right?"
Without saying a word, James continued to stare at me.
I was so anxious that he might have discovered my secret when I suddenly saw him withdrawing his hand and heading to the bathroom.
Watching him leave, I couldn't help but pat my racing heart.
Ever since he tricked me to eat the shrimp with applesauce, I had been trying to keep a distance from him.
His hostility towards me was making me keep my guard up all the time.
After returning to my room, I quickly sent the photos of the documents to Adam.
Worried that I might leave a trail behind, I immediately deleted all the chat records and the photos.
Everything that I sent Adam were confidential, and if Charles found out about it, then I would be doomed.
However, once I finished my mission, the nervousness faded away.
