For a brief second, Clara didn’t move.

Her gaze stayed fixed on the woman seated comfortably across from Matteo’s desk, her posture relaxed as if she belonged there.

Elena.

Clara’s grip tightened slightly around her notebook before she forced herself to step fully into the office, closing the door behind her.

Her expression had already shifted back into something composed, controlled, and professional.

“Elena,” Clara acknowledged, her tone even as she walked closer.

Elena turned toward her, he

    “You can let her in.”Matteo’s voice cut through the room, calm and controlled, as he kept his eyes on the folder in front of him. The words were directed at the phone call, not Clara, but they still subtly shifted the atmosphere in the room.Clara exhaled slowly without meaning to. She only realised she had been holding her breath again when the air left her lungs a little heavier than expected. It always happened around him. Like her body reacted before her mind caught up.Matteo ended the call shortly after and placed the phone down without urgency. The sound of it hitting the desk was soft, but it felt final in a way that made Clara’s attention sharpen again.She looked away from him deliberately, letting her gaze fall to the bookshelf across the office. Neatly arranged files, books, and a few racing trophies tucked between them.But even as she looked elsewhere, she could still feel him.His attention. Or maybe just his presence. It wasn’t obvious, but it didn’t need to be. It

    Clara’s gaze held on Matteo for a fraction longer than she intended, but she quickly broke it before it could turn into anything meaningful. The question he had just asked still lingered in the space between them, sharp and deliberate.“What exactly happened last night?”She knew what he was doing. Testing. Measuring. Trying to see how much she had seen, how much she understood, or worse, how much she had chosen to ignore.Clara adjusted the notebook in her hand, her expression smoothing back into calm professionalism as she chose her response carefully.“It’s handled,” she said simply, her tone controlled.Matteo’s eyes lifted slightly from the papers he was going through, but he didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he let the silence stretch just enough to make it uncomfortable.“Good,” he finally said, his voice low and even. Then he added, almost casually, “Make sure it stays that way. We don’t need more pictures of you circulating online again.”Clara’s fingers tightened slightly a

    For a brief second, Clara didn’t move.Her gaze stayed fixed on the woman seated comfortably across from Matteo’s desk, her posture relaxed as if she belonged there.Elena.Clara’s grip tightened slightly around her notebook before she forced herself to step fully into the office, closing the door behind her. Her expression had already shifted back into something composed, controlled, and professional.“Elena,” Clara acknowledged, her tone even as she walked closer.Elena turned toward her, her lips curving into a soft smile. Today, she looked even more put together than the last time Clara had seen her. Her short dark bob framed her face neatly, her brown eyes bright with quiet confidence. Her figure, slightly more curvy than Clara’s petite frame, filled out her outfit in a way that drew attention without trying too hard.“Clara,” she replied warmly, her voice smooth. “Good morning.”Clara gave a small nod, then shifted her attention to Matteo.He was already watching her.There w

    The elevator doors slid shut with a soft sound, cutting off the quiet hum of the lobby behind Clara. She adjusted her grip on her bag, her mind still lingering on the empty space where the lilies had been.It didn’t sit right.The elevator began to move, smooth and steady. She exhaled slowly, trying to settle the faint unease sitting in her chest.Then it stopped. The doors opened again on one of the lower floors, and Clara’s gaze lifted automatically.Vanessa stepped in.Clara recognised her instantly. The same woman from the meeting. The same one who had smiled too sweetly while trying too hard to be noticed. Their eyes met briefly.“Good morning,” Clara said, her tone polite, controlled.Vanessa’s lips curved into a soft smile as she stepped fully inside, the faint scent of her perfume following her.“Morning,” she replied, her gaze lingering just a second longer than necessary. “You look… well rested.”Clara stilled slightly. There was something in the way she said it. Light and

    Clara’s thumb hovered over the screen before she even unlocked it. She exhaled once, then tapped it open.Unknown Number: Next time you’re in public, try not to draw attention to yourself.Her fingers stilled. For a second, she just stared at the words, her brows pulling together slowly.Then it hit. A sharp awareness settled in her chest, replacing the earlier calm she had forced on herself.Her eyes scanned the message again, this time more slowly.Next time you’re in public…Her mind shifted instantly, retracing the night. The way everything had almost spiralled. Her grip tightened slightly around the phone.‘Was he there?’She frowned, her thoughts picking apart every detail. She hadn’t seen him walk in. But then again, she hadn’t exactly been paying attention to who entered after she sat down.Her lips pressed together.‘Did he see everything?’The way Mark had caused a scene. Her heartbeat picked up slightly. Her gaze lifted from the phone, unfocused now.‘Did he send those men?

    Meanwhile, earlier that evening, Matteo was just about to leave the company building when his steps slowed slightly. His gaze shifted past the glass doors, landing on a familiar figure standing by the gate.Clara. She stood there with her phone in hand, her posture straight but her movements restless, like she was trying to get a ride and failing. Matteo’s eyes narrowed almost instinctively, his jaw tightening as he watched her for a second longer than necessary.Luca, standing just behind him, followed his line of sight.“Her car is still at her other company,” he said, calm and observant. “I drove her this morning.”Matteo didn’t respond immediately. His fingers flexed once at his side, a brief hesitation passing through him before he turned toward the car waiting for him.“Stop,” he said shortly as he got in.The driver, Andre, adjusted in his seat, glancing through the rearview mirror for confirmation. Matteo didn’t repeat himself, but his tone had been enough.Andre slowed the c
