The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 18- Have you seen or heard anything weird?
Deborah's POVI am sitting behind my desk typing the minutes of the previous meeting we had into a document when Daniel suddenly appeared and was leaning against the doorframe. I gave him a small smile as I looked into his brown orbs. “How may I help you?” I asked looking back to my computer trying to finish the document before ‘he who shall not be named’ shows up. “Let's make a deal.” I raise an eyebrow at him as he continues. “You take me on a date and I'll allow you to submit an application for you to become my girlfriend.”I laugh a little as that caught me off guard, nearly spilling my coffee. We continue taking for the next 20 minutes. Honestly, it was quite nice to talk to him, he felt genuine and he made this, all of this bearable. There was some slight touching of each other's arms but he was just being friendly… I think.“Get out,” he growls at him. And I roll my eyes at him, whilst Daniel rushes out of the room. He walks into his office and I follow suit.I crossed my
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 17- She had a panic attack?
Lucas's POV She had a panic attack?What?Why?How?I don't understand. I clenched my fist as the moment replayed in my mind. I stood with my back to the door and my tie was a little loosened as I watched the city beneath me.It was Tuesday. Supposed to be another day but it wasn't.Things keep on changing.She keeps on changing. Does she know?I felt it the moment she walked past my office this morning. A deliberate avoidance in her trajectory, the way her eyes had skated over my doorway without the pretense of acknowledgement.“Good morning to you too,” I said as I noticed she has taken her seat.She just sighed.Then she looked my way and plastered a smile.It was so fake.I could tell.I was tired and she was as well. I wanted to give her some space ever since she has that attack because I think I may have triggered it.I told myself it was nothing, but as I rationalized it, my jaw tightened with something I couldn't name.By ten o'clock, whatever this was had crystallized into
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 16- Deborah
Deborah's POV Home.Home felt a lot darker. It was suffocating me.The discovery hangs in the air heavily, like I am the FBI or something. He was right.I am just a person that can enter data. I am not an auditor.The weekend dragged on like a wound that won't close.Saturday bleeds into Sunday and I find myself standing here at my apartment window three in the morning.I am watching the city lights blur through my exhausted eyes.I haven't slept.I couldn't.Everytime I closed my eyes he was there. His hands on my shoulders, steady and possessive. His voice was low and intimate, whispering my name like a prayer. Stop thinking about him.But my heart is a traitor, beating his name in morse code against my ribs.I made coffee although I don't drink it. I try to read books where the words swim off the page. I text Ellie halfway through Sunday afternoon and then delete the message before sending it. What would she even say. What could she say?I am falling for someone very dangerous
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 15- Where too ma'am?
Deborah's POV The rain started just after nine, a soft percussion again the floor to ceiling windows of Lucas's office. I watched the droplets race down the glass and my chosen droplet lost.I should have gone home hours ago but there's always a client document that needs to be taken care of.The date was excellent by the way. The night was on repeat in my mind ever since I got home. I was happy.I had never seen him laugh out loud before. I wished I took a video for it.He nearly even kissed me. I had to bring him back to reality.“Stop frowning, Deborah,” Lucas said, his voice cutting through my thoughts. He sat across from me at the obsidian conference table, his sleeves rolled to his elbows and the tie a little loosened suggesting even he was tired. But yet his eyes were alert as ever, like he could do this all day.“Just tired,” I lied as I forced my attention back to the presentation glowing on my laptop screen. “These figures are… extensive.”“Twenty-three million is extensive
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 14- I said can we dance.
Deborah's POV The city dressed itself in gold for the evening. Streetlights flickered to life as Lucas's car glided through downtown and I watched the blur illumination of windows pass by, each one a story I’d never know. My reflection in the passenger window showed a woman I barely recognized. A sleek black dress hugging my curves and my hair swept into an elegant twist that had taken me three YouTube tutorials to perfect. A professional date?It doesn't feel like it. The butterflies in my stomach has been on rampage ever since he–“You're quiet,” Lucas said, his voice interrupting my train of thoughts as usual.I turned to find time watching me with a hand on the steering wheel and the other resting casually on the center console. The streetlights caught the sharp line of his jaw and the tailored perfection of his charcoal suit.“Just trying to remember how to breathe,” I admitted before I could stop herself.His laugh was low and genuine. “Good, I would hate to think I was the on
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 13- A professional date
Lucas's POV I had memorized the pattern.Every morning at 8:30, Deborah would arrive, she was never too late neither too early. It's like punctuality had become her armor.She'd hang her flat with precise movements, set her bag on her desk with deliberate care and power on her. The coffee would be on my table by 8:40am.She walked out without any good morning, any hi or anything at all.She put on her computer without glancing towards my office like she normally would.She knew because I'd been watching.But four days, four days of this excruciating dance where we existed in the same space but occupied different worlds.Now, through the glass wall that separated my office from the bullpen, I watched her review a contract.Her posture was inch perfect. The way she sat down, with her spine straight, shoulders squared. The way she sat down and the curve her butt made, my goodness. It could have me to my knees.Correction, it could have any man to her knees.I could still sense the tensi
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 9- She's not just sharp, she's essential
Lucas’s POV When you are the CEO of a big company like this, a week from work is too long now isn't it?No matter the circumstances, a week as the CEO is too long. I don't do this. Infact I have never done this. Genuinely I am shocked that I haven't been sanctioned by the board, but some of them k
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 6- Do I look like his babysitter?
Deborah’s POVThe morning dragged itself into noon, and there was no sign of Lucas. I sat behind my desk straightening files I had arranged twice, pretending I wasn't already irritated by the constant parade of questions.“Where's Mr Blackridge today?,” one of the board members asked with a too bri
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 5- Goodbye Mike.
Lucas's POV I watched her from the corner of my eye as I set the second mountain of files on her desk. The sound of the stack hitting the table made her jump slightly, though she tried to mask it through forced composure.“Do the same for these and make sure it's done by tomorrow,” I said flatly b
The Dangerous Truth Between Them Chapter 4- First day eh?
Deborah’s POV I stood in the elevator clutching my bag with both hands, my reflection in the polished steel doors staring nervously back at me. This time, I wasn't late. This time, I got up before dawn, ironed my clothes probably like twenty times and did my make up for like an hour or so.I didn'
