บททั้งหมดของ BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

HENRY POVThe office was quiet by the time I shut down my computer and grabbed my coat. Most of the staff had already gone home, the lights dimmed in the hallway. But I couldn’t stop thinking about my boss—Lucas.He hadn’t said much during our meeting. Normally, he was sharp, firm, even cold in his precision. That was his thing. Lucas was always in control, never off balance.But today? He was distracted. Edgy. Like something was slipping out of his grasp, and he didn’t like it one bit.I replayed the conversation in my mind. His tone was short, clipped. He didn’t ask many questions, didn’t even pretend to care about the details in the contract. Just signed and pushed it away like it was nothing.That wasn’t Lucas.I walked to the parking lot, slid behind the wheel of my car, and sat there for a minute before starting the engine. The thoughts wouldn’t stop circling. Was something wrong at the company? Or was it personal?I shook my head, trying to clear it. I didn’t want to keep worry

HENRY’S POV (Continues)I squeezed her hand gently. “Let’s make this official,” I said, pulling her into a tight hug. I wanted to wave everything away—the silence, the unease, the questions. I wanted to believe in us again.“Okay,” she whispered, her voice muffled against my shoulder.We pulled apart, and I grabbed my laptop. “Let’s start looking at wedding dresses,” I said, trying to inject some excitement into the room.She nodded, and we began browsing through various bridal websites.“Do you like this one?” I asked, pointing to a sleek, satin gown.“It’s nice,” she replied, her tone flat.I clicked on another dress, this one with intricate lace details. “What about this?”“It’s beautiful,” she said, but her eyes didn’t light up.I glanced at her, noticing the lack of enthusiasm. “Eva, are you okay?”She forced a smile. “Just tired. It’s been a long week.”I nodded, not wanting to press further. “Let’s pick a date to go shopping. Maybe Naomi can come with you?”She looked up, surpr

EVA’S POV (Continues) The dates for our dress shopping trip finally arrived. I had posted them on my calendar with a bright pink marker to remind me of the joy to come. Naomi, Lily, and Sarah—they were not just my closest friends. They were my chosen bridesmaids. When Henry stunned me with his plan, I felt hope stir in my chest. I needed this. We all needed it.Friday, 10 amMy phone chimed with a reminder. I glanced at the screen and sighed with relief. Today was the day. I threw on a casual dress and slipped into sandals. I checked my reflection in the mirror. My hair was pulled back in a loose braid. I looked nervous but also excited.I met Naomi in the lobby. She greeted me with a bright hug that squeezed all my tension away. “Are you ready?” she asked, her eyes sparkling.“Ready as I’ll ever be,” I said. Lily and Sarah arrived moments later, each offering a smiling embrace. Lily carried a camera to document the day. She loved photos. Sarah brought her laptop, just in case we ne

EVA’S POV I raced down the sidewalk, my coat pulled tight against the night air. My heart pounded so hard I thought everyone on the street would hear it. I had to get back to my apartment before Naomi, Lily, and Sarah grew more worried. My mind raced with fear and guilt. I kept glancing over my shoulder, half expecting to see someone watching me from the shadows.When I reached the building, I swiped my key card and slipped inside. The lobby was empty and dark. The elevator doors slid open with a soft hum. I stepped inside and pressed the button for my floor. The car rose in silence.My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out. It was Lily.Lily: Where are you? We are about to head to that little wine bar for dessert.Naomi: Come on, bride. We have plans.I swallowed. I needed to calm down. I typed back.Eva: Sorry. Lost track of time. Be right there.I hit send and returned the phone to my pocket. The elevator chimed and the doors opened. I dashed down the hallway and nearly colli

EVA’S POVThe rest of the morning was a blur.I smiled when I needed to. I nodded and laughed at jokes I barely heard. But my mind was stuck on the small key burning a hole in my hand and the message Lucas had given me.Tonight. 9 PM.I knew exactly where he meant.The rooftop.The same place he once confessed things he had never told anyone.By the time Henry and I left the office, my nerves were stretched so thin, I thought I might tear apart."See? That wasn't so bad," Henry said cheerfully as he opened the car door for me."No, it was nice," I said, forcing my voice steady.But inside, everything was chaos.The drive home felt endless. Henry chatted about the people I had met, about how excited everyone seemed for the wedding. I answered with small noises, my head spinning faster and faster.As soon as we pulled up to my apartment, Henry kissed my cheek and promised to pick me up later for dinner with his family.The moment he drove away, I collapsed onto the couch, pressing my ha
