Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 904

However, he didn't immediately reject Jessica's request for a meeting.

Jessica played the innocent fool, but she was deeply manipulative. Every move she made was calculated.

He figured that turning her away might mean missing out on a critical piece of information. "Bring her in," he ordered.

Closing his folder, Finnian rested his chin on his hands, lost in thought.

He assumed she was here to talk about Dorian.

He didn't expect Jessica to walk into his office, offer a timid "Good morning, Mr. Everly," and drop a bombshell. "Mr. Everly, there's something regarding Ms. Sullivan that I think you need to know."

Something regarding Amara?

Finnian looked up, his gaze sweeping over her.

Jessica was dressed in her usual style—a simple white dress, hair cascading softly over her shoulders, and makeup meticulously applied to look entirely natural. She looked like a fragile, innocent flower, practically begging for sympathy.

While others might have fallen for the act, Finnian felt absolutely nothing. "Speak."

Jessica nervously bit her lip. "Before I get to the main point, I need to confess something. Please don't be angry."

"What is it?"

"It's just..." She hesitated, playing up her anxiety. "I've been trying to reach Dorian lately, but he blocked my number and refuses to see me. So, I started going to look for him every night."

"I know he's staying at your apartment, so sometimes I wait in the hallway near your place."
