"Someone who knows me well enough to anticipate my moves," she murmured.
Elias nodded.
"You need to confront Reed again."
Lena hesitated.
Reed had been playing a careful game, dropping hints but never fully revealing the truth. But now, she was done with patience.
"I'll do it," she said. "But not in an interrogation room. I need him to talk freely."
Elias raised an eyebrow. "You have a plan?"
Lena's lips pressed into a determined line.
"Yes. I'm going to make him think I already know the truth."

The sound of Lena's heels clicking against the marble floors of Grey Holdings echoed with quiet authority. She had told Reed to meet her in the executive lounge, away from watchful eyes. If he was guilty, she needed him off guard.
