Under the heiress facade

Tyler had asked Hera three times what she was doing in the office. He was clearly extraordinarily curious and determined to find out. Her phone vibrated in her pocket again. She figured it was probably Bernard.

She had been out for quite a while now. Hera didn't want to waste time with him, so she gave a random excuse.

"I was looking for some information."

"What information?" Tyler pressed.

"What are you doing here?" Hera dodged the question and asked in return.

Astral Nova's staff always wore uniforms with the winged dragon emblem, which was their logo. But Tyler didn't have one.

Moreover, this was Astral Nova's administration building. Most paparazzi were at the auction, not here.

"I'm here to save you, of course."

"How do I know you're not the suspicious person they're searching for?" Hera eyed him.

Tyler tried a different approach when he sensed she wasn't as easy to fool as he had thought.
