The next morning, Logan appeared exceptionally energetic, clearly satisfied from his night of passion.
Bailey, meanwhile, walked with a slight wobble. When she looked my way, her eyes couldn’t hide her smug triumph.
“Logan, since I’m not officially part of the delegation, I’ll wait for you at the hotel rather than cause problems at the venue. Good luck today!”
Logan smiled at her with complete adoration.
“That’s my thoughtful Bailey. Unlike certain people who only know how to ruin things.” He shot a pointed glance my way.
I laughed bitterly inside.
Was she really being thoughtful, or just covering her tracks?
Huh, Logan Reed, you have NO IDEA what’s coming for you!
Due to the high–security nature of the conference, all attendees underwent a final security check before entering the venue.
My team members and I passed through without issue. Only Logan was flagged.
The metal detector kept beeping persistently, and security personnel immediately pulled him aside.
‘Please wait, sir. We need to conduct a more thorough search. We ask for your cooperation.”
The security officer’s tone left no room for argument.
Other conference attendees began casting curious and suspicious glances his way.
Logan’s face flushed with humiliation. He exploded instantly.
‘Do you know who I am? I’m the head of the translation team! Do you seriously think I would violate protocol?”

He waved his credentials in the security officer’s face, but the officer remained unmoved.
“I’m sorry, sir, regardless of who you are, you must comply with our screening procedures. Please place all your belongings in this tray.”
“Comply?”

Logan’s eyes went cold before turning to me. “Autumn, you’re deputy team leader. Tell them who I am.”
I shrugged helplessly. “Sorry, Director Reed, I can’t intervene in security matters. If you’ve done nothing wrong, just cooperate with them. After all, the innocent have nothing to fear.”
The other team members by my side nodded in agreement.
Logan’s eyes burned with fury.
“Autumn, you’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Kicking me when I’m down? I promise you’ll pay for this when we get home!”
Ignoring his threats, I led the team to follow the security personnel to the screening room–as Logan’s colleagues, our belongings would also be re–examined.
The results came quickly.
The head of security approached Logan with a smartwatch, his expression grave:
“Mr. Reed, we’ve detected a sophisticated listening device embedded in your smartwatch. Your conference credentials have been revoked. You’ll need to come with us to National Security for questioning.”
