Chapter 384 Chapter 384 Coaxing a Child "Also?" Jack picked up the flaw in my words. "Are you trying to investigate him or his company? Not expecting Jack to be this perceptive, 1 lowered my head in embarrassment. Caleb and I had a good relationship Logically, I shouldn't doubt him.

But all the coincidences and evidence pointed to him, so I couldn't help but suspect him.

Since I had already been exposed, I might as well just let it all out. "I think there's a problem with his company. Don't askwhat the problem is, i don't want to say it for now." "Alright. Can I bring the documents back? "You want to helpinvestigate?" To be honest, I already knew that Jack had a wide network in Manovia. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle such a big project.

I had thought about asking him to helpinvestigate, but I didn't think it was that appropriate. I didn't want anyone to helpinvestigate Caleb, but it wasn't as if I had d anyone else who could help me. Jack nodded seriously, "Can 1?" As I thought about Caleb's unusual behavior and the money fill had put out, I gritted my teeth.

"I'll send you the documents to your phone. I might have to bother you with this." "It's not a bother." He put the documents aside and looked down at the materials I just sent to his phone.

I noticed Jack wasn't actually cold. He just didn't like to talk, just like Alisa said. A stoic man who didn't like to talk could be endearing at times. At least, he was a man of his word He seemed to be texting someone, meone, and he didn't look up until a few minutes later.

"It'll take stto investigate these materials. You need to wait a few days." "A few days?" I widened my eyes in disbelief. Was it really that simple to investigate a company? "If you're in a hurry, I can try pushing them-" "No need. I'm not in a hurry. Take your time." Once again, I witnessed the power of capital. This was like something a president would say in a . The world of presidents was surely different from that of an ordinary person like me.

In the past, when my father wanted to investigate a company, it required a lot of people and cost a significant amount of money.

Yet, when Jack did it, he only needed to move his fingers.

Seeingin a daze, Jack chuckled and handedthe milk "It's warm. Drink a bit. Your lips are dry." His fingers brushed over my lips, and I felt iny face heat up.

Quickly taking the milk from his hand, I gulped it down. He retracted his hand and laughed softly, I didn't know a cold man like him could be this charming when he laughed.

He sat beside me, occasionally glancing at his phone. Sometimes, he looked serious, and he would frown as if he was getting annoyed with whoever was texting him Jack was really busy. E Every the visited me, his phone would ring non-stop.

He carried two power banks.

Sometimes, I caught myself wanting to ask if f his phone's battery was quicker to drain, but I dared not to voice it. As it he could sense my gaze, he looked up at me." "Yes?" "If you're busy you can leave Even though he cared about me, work was more important,

He paused for a moment before looking at me. "I'll leave when youn finish your milk. He sounded gentle as if he were coaxing a child. I swallowed hard, suddenly finding bin handsome.

Just then, the flour was protly pushed ops, led by Lennard's familiar voice, "Eva, may I corne in!"
