The Queen They Buried (by Wynter Vans) novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609

Thank goodness this is only his office. I can only imagine how Jacinta might behave if they were at Bowen’s Home,

“I’m here to see you,” Aubree sald, maintaining a friendly smile.

Jacinta looked surprised, responding. “Me? You’re here for me?”

“You seemed to know a lot about Bowen, more than what a typical secretary might know. You even know that Mr. Enrique is sick, she pointed out.

Jacinta smiled shyly and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she explained, “Mr. Turner sometimes chats with me about these things after we’ve finished our work, of course.”

Aubree couldn’t help but think, ‘Is she suggesting that she and Bowen talk outside of the office too?”

Admittedly, Jacinta’s words made her feel a bit uneasy.

However, Aubree trusted Bowen, and she knew that anyone could uncover the little things Jacinta had mentioned about him with a bit of digging.

“You can’t be serious about not knowing why I’m looking for you, right?” Aubree asked, facing Jacinta directly.

She noticed a faint smile on Jacinta’s lips as she responded respectfully, “Miss Miller, are you referring to that rumor going around online?

“Those are just some baseless gossip–surely you don’t believe any of it, do you?”

“I wouldn’t go that far. I just wanted to get to know you better. Now that I have, it turns out you’re nothing special, Aubree replied.

Aubree glanced at the desk, noticing it was covered in papers. It was clear that Jacinta had been busy organizing them.

After Aubree finished talking, she saw Jacinta’s expression change; it turned serious.

“From the moment I walked in, I’ve had this uneasy feeling–like I know you somehow…” Aubree said slowly, seeing Jacinta starting to look a bit anxious.

“But to be honest, I don’t think we’ve ever met, or at least I don’t remember seeing your face before,” she added after a pause.

Then Aubree laughed suddenly, a realization hitting her. She chuckled, “Now I understand! That strange feeling makes sense: you’ve been mimicking me! And honestly, you do it pretty well.

“If someone glanced, they might even think you look a bit like me, but not in the way where we are twins, but similar enough that it could catch someone’s eye.

“It’s not just your face; even your style is a bit like mine.”

Jacinta forced a smile, much less genuine than before, and replied, “Maybe you’re reading too much into this, Miss Miller?”

They both knew there was more going on beneath the surface.

Aubree decided not to say anything further. This visit had turned out to be more interesting than she had thought.

“I’ll let you get back to your work, Jacinta,” she said, closing the office door thoughtfully as she left.

As she walked out, she bumped into, Kelvin.

Miss Miller he greeted her

Kelvin she replied, not wanting to chat much.

“Did you just come from Mr. Turner’s office?” Kelvin asked, looking toward where she had just come from,
