Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 798

The scent was thick, the kind that hinted at seduction and secrets.

After Audrey's tragic end, had Bryce already sought comfort in the arms of a new secretary? It seemed so... convenient, keeping her close by.

Whitney's mind raced with speculation...

Had Bryce been entangled in a clandestine affair, locking his office door to keep their secret hidden? Was the woman now sneaking out of the lounge, having hidden there while Whitney used the restroom?

And then, as if on cue, Bryce followed her into the restroom, probably fearing Whitney's discovery of his illicit activities.

The thought struck Whitney like lightning.

It wasn't unheard of - bosses and their secretaries embroiled in affairs. But Bryce? He had always presented himself as the epitome of grace and devotion, claiming his heart belonged to Whitney alone.

But then again, how many men truly remain faithful?

If he couldn't, so be it. An open playboy was still better than a deceitful heartbreaker.

But Bryce? He played a dangerous game, juggling an affair while portraying the loving husband to Whitney.

The more she thought about it, the more she saw through his facade. A man of dual natures, his secrets well hidden.

Lost in thought, Whitney barely caught the sound of movement from under the bed, followed by the soft click of high heels making a silent escape.

Had she not been eavesdropping, she would have missed it entirely.

A cold smile played on her lips.

Moments later, Bryce's voice softened at the door, "Whitney, I'm heading back to work. Join me for some dessert when you're ready."

"I'm not feeling well," Whitney feigned flushing the toilet.

Seizing the moment, she quietly emerged from the restroom, scanning Bryce's lounge, and discreetly planted a mini camera into the socket near the bed.

Ryder had shown her the ropes, and now, determined to confirm her suspicions, she had made a special trip here.

Satisfied with her handiwork, Whitney left the room.

As she pretended to admire a potted plant while Bryce was distracted by a colleague, she quickly placed another camera within a book on his shelf.

After a brief chat, Whitney excused herself from the Lutz Group.

Spying was a heart-racing affair.

Back at the Sheldon Group, she called Shane, "The cameras are set. Have Ryder keep an eye on them daily. I suspect Bryce is having an affair with his secretary."

Shane sounded surprised, "Really?"

"After Audrey's sudden death, Ludwik investigated her new mansion and found ties to Bryce. It was just a suspicion, but my gut feeling today..."

Whitney's expression remained calm, "I've placed a camera in his bookshelf, but it might be found soon. Hopefully, we'll uncover something useful."

Shane promised to have Ryder monitor the footage.

Hanging up, Whitney didn't expect to uncover Bryce's secrets so soon.
