Sally's breath quickened as she felt Cooper's firm muscles through his coat.

Cooper immediately caught on to the situation and nibbled on her earlobe. He pulled her shaking body into his embrace and whispered, “Don't hold back. Let it all out.”

In fact, he rather liked how powerless she seemed when she gave in to lust.

It was an alluring contrast to her typically frosty attitude. He was mesmerized by how beautiful her eyes seemed when her expressionless gaze was colored with lust, and he enjoyed listening to her moans.

A long time passed before Sally pushed Cooper away from her.

After adjusting his glasses, Sally threw her uniform jacket at Cooper and had him dry the garment completely while she tidied up her mussed hair.

Sally promptly got down to business and said, “While you were playing golf, I planted a bugging software in Josephine's phone. Her father handles plenty of confidential information, though. I'm sure they have an anti-tapping network all over the house. How are you so confident that our bugging software won't be blocked?”

Cooper replied, “The military and the police are using first-generation anti-tapping devices, while the bugging software in your hands is a generation ahead of that.”

He continued drying Sally's jacket as she stared at his reflection in the mirror. She asked doubtfully, “Why don't I know about this generation business even though I have anti-tapping and anti-tracking software on my phone?”

He did not know why either but reassured her, “The only thing that matters is that all the anti-tapping software in the market can't block the bugging software in Josephine's phone. Once she's home, Lucian will be able to hack Edward's phone discreetly as all the electronic devices in her home are on the same wireless network.”

Surprise, a rare emotion by Sally's standards, flashed through her gaze. “Is your nephew that impressive?”

“More like the person who taught him is impressive.” Cooper returned the dried jacket to Sally and elaborated, “Harry is a genius when it comes to computers, and he left everything to Lucian before he died. Lucian happened to be interested in computers and picked up on his work quickly enough. He has even seen the e-mail you sent to Bertilla.”

Sally's heart ached a little as she thought of Lucian's maturity despite his young age.

She then explained everything that happened after the bar incident to Cooper. Confident that Josephine would not seek Cooper out for a few days, Sally had focused her attention on investigating Robert's alleged bribery.

Her father, Gerald, was on good terms with Phineus, and after enlisting the latter's help, she discovered that Robert had never signed the document to purchase military equipment. It turned out that someone had forged Robert's signature and even planted several millions in cash in his house to make it look as though the man had taken a bribe.

After hearing her words, Cooper asked, “How are you so sure it was forged?”

“I've seen Mr. Zane's signature many times.” She pulled up a photo on her phone and showed it to Cooper. “He's a lazy writer, so he never curves the 't' in his name.”
