I Slept With His Uncle And I Liked It Chapter 67
Elara“Let’s talk later, Elara. I’m at the hospital with Victoria.”I pressed the phone closer to my ear, glancing at the time displayed on the dashboard. “Okay, but—”“Are you coming, Lu bear?”I heard Victoria say in the background before the call ended.I stared at my phone.Seriously?I lowered it slowly, looking at the screen as though it might offer an explanation for why my conversation had lasted all of fifteen seconds. Yesterday, Lucien had told me we’d talk later. We hadn’t. I’d called him before bed, and he’d ignored the call. He hadn’t returned it this morning either, which was why I’d tried again during the only free time I’d had since leaving the office.And now, here we were. Another let’s talk later.I tossed my phone onto the passenger seat and leaned back against the headrest.I wasn’t angry. Not exactly.Victoria was ill, and if Lucien was accompanying her to the hospital, I wasn’t about to begrudge him that. I wasn’t a monster.But was it too much to expect him to

LucienBy the time I arrived home, all I wanted was a shower, a glass of whisky, and several hours without anyone asking anything of me.Instead, I found Victoria in the dining room, arranging plates on the table.I stopped in the doorway, loosening my tie. “What are you doing? Aren’t you supposed to be resting?”She glanced over her shoulder and laughed softly. “Lucien, it’s cancer, not paralysis. I can still use my hands.”“That doesn’t mean you should be standing around preparing dinner.”“I’m setting the table, not running a marathon.” She carried a serving dish over and placed it beside the plates. “Besides, I was getting bored sitting in that room all day. You should try it sometime. Perhaps you’d discover that there’s more to life than work.”“I’ll consider your recommendation.”She laughed again, and I shook my head before taking my seat.Victoria served the food, placed a portion on her plate, and sat opposite me. I thanked her and began eating, although I could barely taste

ElaraGwen’s voice came from the other side of the door. “Elara?”I pulled away from Lucien so quickly that my hip knocked against the desk. He glanced at me, his expression irritatingly composed, while I stared at the door as if it had personally betrayed me.“What are we going to do?” I whispered.Lucien lowered his voice. “I locked the door.”I turned to him. “Why are we in a locked room together?”“Because I locked it.”“Oh, my God, Lucien.”“What would you prefer I did? Leave it open while we were kissing?”I opened my mouth, shut it, and pressed my fingers against my forehead. He wasn’t helping. Not even a little.Gwen called my name again, and I could hear Elliot’s voice in the background.I looked around my office, searching for an escape route that didn’t involve throwing myself out of the window. My gaze landed on the desk. Slowly, I looked back at Lucien.His expression changed immediately. “No.”“But that’s the only option.”“No, it isn’t.”“Lucien, please.”“I am not gett

ElaraThe elevator doors opened. I walked towards the reception desk, where the receptionist looked up as I approached.“Hi. The gentleman asking for me?”She pointed towards the seating area. “He’s over there.”I turned.I didn’t need to see his face.I recognized his shoulders and the way he stood with one hand in his pocket, examining something on his phone. I knew him from behind, and the recognition was enough to extinguish every pleasant thought I’d carried downstairs.Elliot.Of course.Because why would Monday allow me to enjoy a single uninterrupted morning?I stood still, watching him for a moment as the receptionist waited beside me. He hadn’t noticed me yet. I could have walked over, heard whatever he wanted to say, and spent the rest of my morning wishing I’d done something else.Absolutely not.I leaned towards the receptionist. “Could you please let him know I’m busy and won’t be able to see him today?”She glanced at me, perhaps surprised by the request, but nodded. “O

ElaraI got to work still in an embarrassingly good mood. The weekend had been lovely, I’d slept better than I had in weeks, and for once, the thought of facing a Monday didn’t feel like a personal attack.I stepped out of my car, adjusted the hem of my short denim dress, and checked that the tiny gold brooch near my collar was sitting straight. Heart-patterned tights and glossy black Mary Janes completed the look, along with sculptural earrings, a slim wristwatch, and my burgundy handbag. I’d twisted my hair into a low bun, pleased with how everything came together.My only real concern was coffee, and thankfully, Clara was waiting for me in the lobby with a cup in hand.She stood beside the reception desk, holding out a takeaway cup as soon as she spotted me. I accepted it with a grateful smile, and we headed for the elevators together.The doors closed behind us.Clara turned to me. “Spill.”I nearly choked on my first sip. “Good morning to you, too.”“Don’t start with me, Elara.

LucienSince Greece, I found myself looking forward to conversations that had nothing to do with work. I remembered details about her that served no professional purpose. I noticed when she was tired or frustrated, even when she tried to conceal it.For her birthday, I bought her a car, arranged for her favourite flowers to be waiting at the guest house, and organised a dinner I hoped she would enjoy. None of it was obligatory. I did those things because I wanted to make her happy.And now she had told me she loved me. Or she had said the words, at least.I couldn’t ignore the possibility that she meant them, but I couldn’t assume that she did.Victoria told me she loved me, then cheated on me the following day. Elara was different from Victoria in temperament and in the way she approached relationships. She had given me no reason to believe she would deliberately hurt me.Knowing that did not erase the memory of what happened.I spent years keeping my personal life uncomplicated. I u
