Chapter 409 409: Almost wishing for summons?

When Davis began reciting his biography, Luke Norman's brows cringed together in surprise. By the time Davis finished, Luke felt a storm of emotions coursing through him.

Nobody had ever been able to unmask his identity. Not even his closest staff at StevMel Group knew who he truly was.

He had lived in deliberate shadows, erasing every trace, severing every tie, and disassociating himself from the past…all for one purpose.

Yet here was Davis Allen, reading out his life as though it were a file laid bare before him.

A wry chuckle escaped Luke's throat, and with a resigned gesture, he gave Davis a thumbs up.

He exhaled slowly, conceding silently that he had been caught off guard. Lifting his gaze, he met Davis's steady eyes.

"When did you find out?" he asked.

"Well, I've always had a feeling," Davis replied, his tone casual but sharp. "And thanks to my wife…she noticed the very first day you met."

At the mention of Jessica, Davis's expression softened. His lips curled upward, a fleeting tenderness replacing the steel in his features.

Luke caught it immediately. His eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile touching his lips. "I suspected as much. Asking me to get her a cup of tea… How is she coping with the accident?"

The warmth drained instantly from Davis's face. His gaze darkened, and his fist clenched on the table.

Luke raised his hands lightly in defense. "Don't get me wrong. If no one else knew, I know. But not because I caused it. I never did. I simply understand a few things others don't."

Davis inhaled deeply, his voice low. "Not yet awake."

Luke nodded, sympathy flickering in his eyes. "I'm sorry about that." His voice softened, almost a murmur. "Why I became your assistant…"

The words seemed more for himself than for Davis.

He leaned back, reflecting. Thinking now, it almost felt absurd, ridiculous that a man like him with influence and wealth, had taken the role of an assistant.

Yet at the time, it had been the only path forward. If he couldn't unearth the truth from outside, then he had to step boldly into the lion's den.

Davis had his eyes trained on him, studying him intently, his cold gaze searching.

He didn't know why, but he felt the cold air that had always clung to Luke like a garment seemed to have dissipated totally, replaced by something almost human.
