Anaya acted calm. She answered, "I helped someone snatch the Maltz Group's project. He just came to question me. I drove him away."
Hearst stared at Anaya silently. His eyes were dark.
Anaya felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze. She stiffly shifted her gaze away to avoid looking at him.
"It's getting late. I'll go in first. You should go to bed too."
After saying that, she was about to walk inside.
"Ana, you said you wouldn't lie to me," Hearst called out to her in a low and calm voice.
Anaya paused for a moment. With her back to him, she laughed dryly and said, "I didn't lie to you."
Even though she didn't turn around, she still felt his questioning gaze.
Hearst was still looking at her.
Anaya tightened her grip on the door handle. Then she entered the room and closed the door behind her.
After Anaya entered her room, Hearst was still standing at the door.
She was keeping a secret from him.
