Madison let out a wry smile. "What else could we even pretend to be? We can't just sneak into their company and pretend to be employees, right?"
My eyes lit up.
"Actually, that's not a bad idea! But being an employee is too much of a gamble. How about…" I leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
Her eyes went wide. "Are you out of your mind? That's way too risky!"
I shrugged.
"Unless you've got a better idea? Besides, it's not like this is the first time we've taken a risk," I said, giving her a tap on the shoulder with a grin.
Madison let out an exasperated sigh. "Fine, I'll do it your way. Just don't get us killed, okay?"
I flashed her an "okay" sign.
Over the next few days, we got busy again. First, we pulled a few strings to grab two cleaning uniforms, then we quietly dug around to figure out Yvan's schedule.
We caught a break. Yvan was busy with meetings with Murphy lately, running back and forth between their offices every few days.
When the time came, Madison and I threw on our uniforms and strutted into the Jaeger Group building.
"Do you think we're standing out too much, dressing like this?" Madison asked, sounding a bit anxious.
I rolled my eyes. "Are you serious? The fancier the place, the more cleaning staff they've got. And who's even going to notice us? We're just background players."
Suddenly, a guy stepped right in front of us.
"Hey, you two new here?" He gave us a once-over, his tone harsh.
I muttered a curse and quickly looked down. "Y-Yeah, we just got here a few days ago. Nice to meet you."
